The various pundit opinions are in, the final imaginary gavel rung down, and DNC 2020 is over. The consensus is the Ds managed to get through the entire thing without telling you their intentions for the next four years, assuming they win the election.
As we noted yesterday, this was probably no oversight but tactically smart as their platform doesn’t poll well with voters. So they talked about improving the national mood, injecting more “light” into our lives.
Translation: Elect us and - because we’ll stop being total pains in your butt and our captive legacy media will say nice things - our country will sure look and sound happier. It is a safe prediction.
Why “safe?” Remember how little controversy the really hapless Obama years stirred up? Of course you do. Things were crap but the media smiled beatifically and said all was well. No national angst to be seen.
Except we knew, didn’t we, that things weren’t good. Knew that jobs had been sent overseas, knew that millions of poor campesinos were allowed in to hold wages down, knew that social norms were trashed daily.
What we knew informed how we voted, so we elected Trump to kick over the apple cart and take names. To appoint judges who weren’t closet socialists. To defend U.S. interests from attacks by both friends and enemies. To close the borders and drain the fetid bureaucratic swamp. To openly love this country and its founders.
We didn’t want smooth, loser Obama was smooth, we wanted a brawler. As the other DrC says, “He’s a bully, but he’s our bully.” Let’s reelect him.
