The Next Four Are Going To Be Eventful

The media cultists and pundits, whose duty it is to explain the doings of the world to a much more simple-minded citizenry, are having a hard time translating the Second Coming of Trump in a way that they are comfortable with. It was not hard for them the first time around. It is never hard for them to talk down to us, knowing we will never quite grasp the insight they patiently but condescendingly share. I believe that they had in their collective mind visions of Andrew Jackson’s first inauguration, which saw a wash of back-woods types end up partying in the White House in their dirty shirts and muddy boots. But for fear that we common types were not well-read enough to know the reference, they just stuck with crude, rude and Russian collusion.

This time it is much harder to discount the election results as a stunning, one-off upset due to right-wing trickery, some easily fooled serfs in backward fly-over territory and, of course, Russian “disinformation”. There was, of course, no whiskey-fueled trashing of the White House as in Jackson’s time.

I don’t think DJT quite understood what he was up against in his first term. But I think he does now. And I think the Democrats recognize that Trump has figured all this out, and they’re scared to death.
