I must admit that I haven’t exactly been an exemplar of Christian virtue over the last few days. I keep telling myself, “I will not take pleasure from all of the videos showing Democrats crying after the election,” but then I find my way right back to another collection of social media meltdowns proving why leftism is a mental illness. What can I say, lefty tears are delicious. My favorite schadenfreudilicious spectacle is this creative production featuring President Trump jamming out on electric guitar and drums to Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son,” while America’s most prominent Democrats break down in tears. I guess it’s what the Intelligence Community would call a “deepfake,” but it looks real to me!
All right, I’m done. I’ve got it out of my system. Wait, have you seen this one of Tim Walz’s daughter telling Americans, “This country does not deserve Kamala Harris”? Ha ha. That’s pretty funny, too. She/Xi’s right, though. However bad we’ve been, we definitely don’t deserve Kamala! Better to be tortured with fingernail scratches on a chalkboard twenty-four hours a day than to suffer through eight years of Kama-lama-ding-dong philosophizing about “the significance of the passage of time.” Dang, I really thought I had this under control. Looks like I still have a lot of work to do. Oh well.
In defense of everyone who might be similarly enjoying this electoral triumph a bit too much these days, I will only point out that we have been bashed and battered for four long years, and we could be forgiven for experiencing joy (the authentic variety, not the Kamala kind) after enduring so much pain. After all, there is a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance. And without a doubt, this is our season to laugh and dance. So take a moment, smile, and do the Trump Dance.
Not all of us thought this was possible. We worried that the same mail-in-ballot fraud that gave basement-dwelling Joe Biden 25% more “votes” than Chicago superstar (and champagne socialist) Barack Obama would elevate Cackling Kamala to the Oval Office. Merrick Garland’s (in)Justice Department has been obsessed with imprisoning Trump for the rest of his natural life, and those same goons have spent the last four years harassing and incarcerating anyone who dares to question the legitimacy of America’s weeks-long ballot harvests. The Deep State got what it wanted in 2020. Its bureaucratic tyrants censored Americans, defamed J6 protestors as terrorists, and pushed a ludicrous narrative that Trump and his unarmed supporters had attempted to overthrow the federal government.
After so much State-directed violence and propaganda against American citizens, it was easy to lose faith. Heck, I heard Senator Rand Paul — a repeat victim of political violence — express on multiple occasions the rather shocking sentiment that “they” would never allow President Trump back in the White House. Well, we’re not there yet, but things are certainly heading in the right direction! (I just did the Trump Dance again for anyone wondering.)
Take some time to reflect on the significance of this political earthquake. In fact, just this once, let’s take Kamala’s advice and really think about “the significance of the passage of time.” Four years ago, schools were closed. Small businesses were shuttered. People were wearing silly face masks while driving alone in their cars or jogging alone outside. It was insane, yet the majority of Americans participated in the insanity. I used to get messages from conservative voters who were very unhappy with my constant pleas for Americans not to give up their liberties just because the CDC told them that the Bill of Rights is null and void during medical scares. A commenter who had always struck me as politically savvy told me that COVID was too serious for me to complain about lockdowns and online censorship.
Four years later, those overreactions to a government-engineered medical emergency seem absurd to conservatives and non-conservatives alike. People across the West have experienced the economic damage of business closures and witnessed the emotional damage inflicted on children from school closures. As government lies are exposed (including those involving COVID’s origin and deadliness and the efficacy of the pharmaceutical industry’s “emergency use” mRNA therapeutics), people are coming to grips with how nefarious the mass censorship campaigns against COVID “misinformation” really were.
