A lot has been written about why the election turned out as it did, and I am certain there is more to come. At Sp!ked Brendan O’Neill interviews author Bridget Phetasy about why she decided to vote for Trump. Hat tip to RealClearPolitics for the link.
It boils down to her being tired of the Democrats’ B.S. put-downs of normal people for being normal. She calls it “the f*ck it election” and - in my opinion - she may well be correct.
Ever since the Obama era Democrats have been telling us that what passes for common sense among normies is bad, wrong, awful, and destroying the planet and humanity. Phetasy says she’s sick of it, and I am willing to bet there were tens of millions more who felt the same.
It turns out there are way more normies than weirdies who feel left out. We normies are tired of being told to eat our broccoli when what we want is a greasy burger, fries and a Diet Coke.
We wanted a president who not only understands but also shares our normie tastes. Who will run the U.S. for our benefit, whose behavior and pronouncements will reflect common sense and practicality. Who believes and acts as though problems have actual solutions that will work in real time.
