Although they exist several close states that have not yet been officially namedTrump is on his way to what we called a few weeks ago a close victory of 312-226 Electoral College votes. He swept all seven swing states. He made New Hampshire and Virginia competitive by expanding their electoral maps and forcing Democrats to spend in the waning days of the race. Best of all, he won a landslide victory in the popular vote, the final results of which will be announced in the coming days.
What have we learned from Trump’s victory in 2024? It ended much like 2016, when the Democrats’ infamous “Blue Wall” collapsed in Rust Belt states. That it was Harris who had the cap below 50%, not Trump. With the exception of just one state, Michigan, where Trump won 49.8% of the vote, in six other key swing states Trump won over 50% of the vote.
down vote, Republicans made significant gains in the Senate and it now looks likely that House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries will not be there to derail Trump’s legislative agenda. 47. Without having to work to get re-elected, Trump is essentially a lame-duck president when he takes the oath of office on January 20, 2025 on the first day The Trump administration can start cleaning house Deep State agents who attack every level of the federal bureaucracy, especially top officials and executives. And the deportation of criminal aliens will begin immediately with the support of both houses of Congress.
It all starts with the Department of Justice (DOJ), where it all worked out on Wednesday unconstitutionally appointed attack dog, special prosecutor Jack Smithfrom two federal cases in DC and Florida. Willis fans case of election interference in Georgia he is on life support and is also facing confinement under Georgia law. Only in Alvin Bragg/Judge Marchon The Stormy Daniels case in New York Is Trump at risk of being imprisoned? But this will probably only happen after his term ends, and that will cause the heads of the far left to explode. Marchon will most likely, if he has common sense, suspend the sentence until Trump’s lawyers review the case on appeal.
As we said a few months ago, the real cost of this election to Democrats will be this Trump will be able to nominate at least two more Supreme Court justices replace Clarence Thomas and Samual Alito (who remained on the court pending a Republican victory in 2025) with newborn conservative lawyers in their 40s, so that Trump’s influence will last long after both Trump and we both reach six feet statuesque under.
He may even be able to elect Justice Sotomayor’s successor, giving SCOTUS a 7-2 conservative majority. Over Project 2025 false flagthis is what Democrats are struggling with on key social issues like abortion (which has proven insufficient to motivate Republican women to vote against Trump, Senate Republicans, and the upcoming Republican/Conservative agenda). With several Senate races still to be decided, Republicans will control the Senate on their way to a 53-47 or 54-46 majority. That means savvy Republican RINOs like Susan Collins of Vermont and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska won’t be able to derail the Trump train on legislation and judicial nominations.
This is a nightmare scenario for Democrats that absolutely no one is talking about.
Sometimes it’s challenging to accept trends that we really want because as conservatives we are used to disappointment. This election is a good example; we wanted Trump but were willing to accept Harris thanks to the money and power behind it. However, people mobilized and made the right choice. He restored faith in the American electorate.
So far, we haven’t seen the massive scam that took place in 2020 because the race was never close enough for the cheating to be credible. Take a look at the chart below comparing the popular vote over the last four presidential cycles:
It starts with 18 million “extra” votes in 2020. Harris didn’t exploit the cheating machine this year because:
- No pandemic lockdown
- Many people are observing voting fraud
- The race wasn’t close yet, so cheating would be too obvious
- Kamala Harris…REALLY?
Look at the trajectory when Biden was “elected” in 2020. Democrats thought they could cheat their way to power forever, no matter how incompetent or unqualified the candidate was. Putting Kamala Harris first was their way of sticking a thumb in America’s eye, stating, “We’re in control and we can do whatever we want and there’s nothing you can do about it.” What shameless pride.
The biggest loser of the election cycle, outside of Harris and her clownish running mate, Tim Walz, was Barack Obama and the so-called stars with their constant condescension towards America. Obama stands out he constantly expressed his “disappointment” to us.. This cipher with a chip on his shoulder has always been the least talented person entering any room, and yet he presents himself as some kind of statesman with nothing in common except feathers its own nest. Even many middle Democrats are tired of this guy and his inflated ego.
Harris is toast; now that she is lost and surrenderedshe will be erased by the media and thrown out to sea, where she will never be able to approach a position of power – well, maybe in California, the only place where she has any chance of getting elected to anything. But it was a huge embarrassment across the country for Democrats who thought they could nominate a ham sandwich and get away with it.
Democrats are currently at a crossroads. They have no leadership that is credible due to the laughably absurd Harris-Walz campaign. We could write a scathing autopsy on this subject, but why even bother? This campaign was a joke – a fraud played on the public by Democrats who believed they would be in power forever and thought they could put a few stupid, malleable candidates with mental problems in front of the public and sell them as the real leaders of our country. This is worse than Chauncy Gardner in Being There. Chauncy could at least express his thoughts because he fooled everyone into thinking he was some brilliant political and cultural philosopher. These two were a monumental train wreck, especially when placed next to the Trump/Vance ticket.
Democrats find themselves in a disastrous situation that may not be remedied for a generation or two. There is no backbench of actionable newborn leftists, only socialists/communists with Big Government positions that can only be implemented in deep blue states (CA, NY, IL, VA, MI) and have no national appeal. And these blue states they have a population that is increasingly tired of the conditions they have been living in for decades and now Trump has empowered them to make changes.
We strongly sense a cultural shift that is moving in our favor. The extreme nonsense that we as a nation have been force-fed for the past twenty years is approaching a reckoning that can only happen here in the U.S.
With Trump’s likely SCOTUS nominations and the house cleaning that will likely take place, it will be great to imagine. House Democrats like the reprehensible Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and his gang will undermine the election results because they have nothing to lose in this effort. They need to play to their far left base to composed them down and maintain power in a narrow way. But in the end it will turn out to be theater… and Raskin will be relegated even further to the position of a radical freak screaming from the back bench, which we’re sure he’s fine with.
This is a second Reagan’s “Morning in America” moment.and that’s great. It’s time to breathe a sigh of relief that we weren’t wrong in our 2024 election outcome predictions.
The four-year Biden-Harris national nightmare is over. Trump’s decisive victory will usher in a decades-long golden age of freedom, prosperity, economic growth, and a smaller, more accountable government that actually factory for its citizens.
God bless Donald Trump and his band of cheerful warriors, ready for the battle ahead!
