REAL AMERICA

HEY, GOP, 'TRUMP EXISTS BECAUSE YOU FAILED'

Exclusive: Patrice Lewis zings Republican leaders for not understanding their own party

It’s over. Finished. One of the most contentious presidential races in history is concluded, and Donald Trump is now our president-elect.

This caused immediate screams of oppression from the progressives, who concluded that the only – the only! – possible reason for Trump’s win is because his supporters are all white supremacists.

Yes, really. Check out this link, and this one.

Even the AP had the gall to say, “Americans emphatically declared their anger at government Tuesday as they elected a political outsider who failed to generate much excitement but offered the prospect of change.”

(Um, did anyone see the massive crowds at Hillary rallies? What, maybe 400 people? Whereas Trump regularly drew in 15,000 and had to turn away another 12,000 for lack of room. Does this sound like “a political outsider who failed to generate much excitement”?)

Over and over again, pundits have dismissed Trump’s influence, minimized his impact and mocked his message. It apparently never occurred to anyone to gauge the feelings of Flyover Country, that mysterious place full of ordinary working stiffs who have been living under onerous government overreach and taxation for decades. They should step outside their ivory towers once in a while. Flyover Country is pretty big.

Conservatives tried, they honestly tried, to make their voices heard. They elected a majority of Republicans in Congress in 2014 who promised to “get tough” on a variety of issues and keep the Democrats from further dismantling the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Then, as usual, the moment they got into office, these traitors began to plead their weak inability to stop those awful nasty Democrats, while holding out their hands and asking for more money and votes to stop those awful nasty Democrats. Blah blah blah. Repeat repeat repeat.

Politicians, especially Republicans, have a vested interested in only pretending they want to solve problems until, quite simply, the cauldron finally bubbled over. As one person put it, “The political establishment did this to themselves. This is what happens when you spend 20 years mocking and sneering at people who have had their livelihood ripped away by bad trade deals. This is what happens when you tell a large group of disenfranchised people, who are just struggling to make a living and put food on the table, to ‘check your white privilege’ as your smug, condescending liberal fanny sits in ivory towers and newsrooms eating Kobe beef and Almas caviar. This is what happens when you declare that half the country is either a ‘basket of deplorables,’ ‘poor, desperate losers who need pity,’ or ‘pathetic basement dwellers.'”

Oddly enough, it was the suave and erudite Michael Moore who phrased it well, though he meant his tirade to be a plug for Hillary: “Whether Trump means it or not is kind of irrelevant because he’s saying the things to people who are hurting. And it’s why every beaten-down, nameless, forgotten working stiff who used to be part of what was called the middle class loves Trump. He is the human Molotov cocktail that they’ve been waiting for. The human hand grenade that they can legally throw into the system that stole their lives from them.”

Donald Trump didn’t necessarily get elected because he’s Donald Trump. He got elected because he’s not a politician – and people have come to hate, loathe and despise politicians. 

These elected officials, who catered to the nonsensical demands of violent special-interest groups, grossly underestimated the anger people felt when their livelihoods were destroyed, their churches threatened and their children indoctrinated with communist propaganda.

(Granted, catering to special interests is nothing new. Consider this excerpt of a 1926 speech by Calvin Coolidge in which he warned: 

“But there is another … recent development … the greatly disproportionate influence of organized minorities. Artificial propaganda, paid agitators, selfish interests, all impinge upon members of legislative bodies to force them to represent special elements rather than the great body of their constituency. 

When they are successful, minority rule is established. … The result is an extravagance on the part of the government which is ruinous to the people and a multiplicity of regulations and restrictions for the conduct of all kinds of necessary business, which becomes little less than oppressive. …”)

Trump is hated by the Democrats, of course. 

But if possible, he’s hated even more by the Republican beltway insiders. 

Why? Because, in the words of Tucker Carlson, 

“They’re the ones who’ve been advocating for open borders, and nation-building in countries whose populations hate us, and trade deals that eliminated jobs while enriching their donors, all while implicitly mocking the base for its worries about abortion and gay marriage and the pace of demographic change. 

Now they’re telling their voters to shut up and obey, and if they don’t, they’re liberal. It turns out the GOP wasn’t simply out of touch with its voters; the party had no idea who its voters were or what they believed.”

Predictably, the progressives have exploded in petulant, heel-kicking protests because – for once – they didn’t get their way. They’re burning, looting, beating up innocent people and making hundreds of assassination threats on social media to prove how calm, rational and superior they are. 

Others, unable to handle the thought of a non-liberal white male leading the country, are curling up in fetal positions in safe rooms, crying and sobbing and sucking their thumbs, which illustrates Hillary’s, um, empowering influence or something.

For an excellent analysis of why American voters are angry, listen to this:As the next chapter in our history unfolds, it remains to be seen what kind of president Trump will be. Some have warned he may become a 1 Samuel 8 kind of leader. Others have expressed hope Trump will fulfill all their own personal vengeful fantasies.

But Trump has one indisputable advantage: He isn’t Hillary. The intellectual savant Mae West once said, “Whenever I’m caught between two evils, I take the one I’ve never tried.” Maybe it’s time for America to try the “evil” of a president who says he’ll stick to the Constitution. We’ll see how it goes.

“Trump exists because you failed,” noted Politico’s M. Scott Mahaskey while addressing beltway Republicans. 

Suck it up, political elites. Maybe next time you’ll listen to us.
