My initial reaction to Trump’s victory.
Transcript auto-generated, may contain transcription errors
So it’s 3:30 in the morning, and Donald Trump has just won reelection. There’s a lot I want to say, and we’ll have more time later, but for now, my initial reaction is this:
I feel we’ve been pulled back from the abyss. I believe our nation was facing a permanent decline, which would have been solidified had Harris won. And now, it feels as if we’ve been saved from that trajectory. We’ve been given another chance—a chance to reverse some of the cultural rot that has taken over academia and education, the decline of our military, decline of our standing in the world.
Getting rid of the nonsense that has infiltrated the bureaucracies, especially regarding DEI and similar policies. All of that, in my opinion, was a cultural rot dragging us down, and it was becoming irreversible.Not to mention the abysmal situation with illegal migration. I’m not sure if we can fully reverse it now, but another four years would have changed the nature of our country so fundamentally.
So, my initial reaction is a sense that we’ve been pulled back from the edge, like we were standing on a ledge, and someone has just pulled us back and given us a second chance. This is historic, with enormous implications for the country, and most of all, it really feels like we’ve been granted a second chance.

In Totally Agreement with you.
The country may have been pulled back from the brink, but I am pretty certain that Washington, Oregon, and Kalifornia will double down on stupid starting tomorrow.
I predict that by this time next year both the budget for, and the number of, feral homeless drug addicts in Portland will be double todays number. We just need to buy them more tents. ;-(
The obvious thing as far as Washington goes, is to move Government departments out to smaller areas far, far away from DC…when I say move Government departments out…I mean whats left of them after Elon has been through them with a fine tooth comb.
Then as far as California is concerned…maybe start passing laws setting minimum standards for federal elections, like ID required, voting in person, on paper…on a Saturday.
Saturday? Why not a Sunday?
Agree….but for now keep those seatbelts fastened as Democrat turbulence is coming. They just will not sulk and go sit in the corner….there is a coup to complete.
How Crazy are the Democrats that electing Donald Trump is considered a “Return to Sanity?’
Not fussed…as long as there is a single standard set for the ENTIRE f88king country 🙂
Because we are a God fearing country, and Christian by our very foundation
Because this is a Christian nation
Or even a week of early voting beginning on Monday the week prior to ‘election day’….so long as voter registration rolls are cleaned up and transparent, voter ID, paper ballots/#2 pencils, immediate tabulation w receipt and ‘absentee ballots’ limited to Military/Overseas voters and emergency medical and disability concerns (got a DL v State ID means you can vote in person, got a vehicle registered to you means you can vote in person -absent a new medical emergency, verified by Physician, ballot handed in person to Clerk by Spouse, Adult Child, Adult Sibling or Parent appointed/notarized by voter w all that investegated/validated
Some people don’t have friends or relatives
They can appoint a non relative in that case, so long as they can demonstrate that there’s literally no one else. This is how getting an absentee ballot works in Alabama by the way. Needless to say, we don’t have very many absentee ballot requests.
Elderly, spinster, childless Cat lady shut ins who’ve managed to alienate the rest of the world? Probably not gonna pull the GoP lever.
Exactly.
A reprieve.
Now to make the most of it as quickly as possible!
May God help us.
But for right now, what a huge relief!
Four years makes a lot of difference when one has small children.
Thank you professor you helped stear the ship in a fierce winter storm
Illegal migration is a sugar-coated term for invasion. We’ve been invaded, and they all must go back. All of them. Or 6-feet under, I don’t care. I’m looking for the MAGA-style implementation of Operation Wetback that Eisenhower and General Jumpin’ Joe Swing pulled off in the 1950’s. I’m looking for history to repeat itself.
Well-stated, Professor. And, I add that it’s not merely the U.S. that is being pulled back from the precipice of the Abyss, but, the free world, as well.
He still hasn’t reached 270 yet I’m waiting for the shenanigans to start
I think that might be a little too much, even for the Democrat part, to pull off!
Yes he has when he won Wisconsin
The national map of counties’ votes is fascinating, and, it reveals what I’ve been saying for a long time — despite the constant Dhimmi-crat media propagandizing, shilling and sermonizing, the plain reality is that Dhimmi-crats’ corrosive and idiotic policies and conceits — e.g., their “transgender” misogyny and child/teen-abuse; their enabling of illegal immigration; their impoverishing “green”/”climate change” diktats; etc., — are not broadly popular, and win support exclusively in urban areas. Dhimmi-crat control of counties is incredibly sparse, which indicates that this wretched Party’s platform is not popular at all, outside of major cities.
The Dhimmi-crats had better find themselves a Bill Clinton 2.o, and, move towards the political center, posthaste, or else they are going to have a tough time winning presidential elections, again. We’ll see if these radicals are capable of engaging in self-reflection and moderation of their ideological fanaticism.
Josh Shapiro might have been a logical choice at one time, but the party is now too drowning in Jew-hatred.
I had said at the time that Harris rejected Shapiro as her running mate, that he actually won the lottery, by not being associated with this losing ticket. Shapiro comes out of this smelling like roses and without the stench of being an election loser.
Divine/karmic justice for Harris giving in to her wretched Party’s Jew-hate.
270
He did it.
277
May have momentarily “pulled back from the abyss”, but the Deep State is still pushing…
yes the deep state is pushing but
now Elon is gonna push back
department heads are trying to
justify their existence.
Any new impeachments are going to be extremely difficult
Ty Professor.
I woke up with an upset stomach, then found out.
It has taken me a full half hour to calm down.
BTW, talking heads announced Dow Futures up 3%,, about 1200 points.
More than anything, I have hope.
Professor,
You forgot another important thing in that abyss that we got pulled back from – a second Holocaust due to Iran nuking Israel.
And given that Israel is widely considered to have a large nuclear arsenal, who knows where things would have ended once nukes started flying?
Israel has a green light to destroy Iran’s nuclear program.
Just as important, peace between Saudi Arabia and Israel, under President Trump’s sponsorship/guidance, will be possible, building upon the historic and shamefully non-lauded (by the leftist media) Abraham Accords.
President Trump will win the Nobel Peace Prize during his second term — mark my words.
Good post and I agree. But as Rush used to say, the left NEVER gives up. They view electoral defeats as temporary setbacks. Not a rejection of their ideology.
This is true — these reprobates are relentless.
So far got the WH Senate recaptured +2 net w maybe another net +3 on top for a more comfortable margin of Senate control. The next battle is internal to choose the Senate Majority Leader hopefully the newer/younger members can overcome McConnell’s wing but that’s a big hill to climb. HoR is likely to be retained by GoP but loss of CD like Alabama 2 CD (my CD FWIW) that were ordered redrawn after the ’22 midterms makes the margin smaller. Going to be boisterous in the HoR. I hope the old guard establishment wing in the HoR and DC GoP establishment in general can now appreciate they gotta work just as hard for the 15-20 populist members votes as they do the 15-20 ‘moderate’ votes in HoR. Stiff arming the populist members and belittling them is a recipe for legislative failure as the current session demonstrated.
” comes the time, comes the man. “
I agree that something needs to be done about this election interference, but it will take an amendment to do so. The Constitution spells it out plainly that voting is the realm of the states – it took one to get blacks, women and teenagers the vote. A simple law cannot be passed to do it.
I am also overjoyed that our political prisoners will be pardoned in January!!!!!
