America is Exactly What Donald Trump Thinks it is

 Someday Americans will elect the President they deserve and then, God help us all.

A quote attributed to H.L. Mencken.

Mencken was right and last night the day arrived. Donald J. Trump, a convicted felon, known sexual predator, congenital liar, and con man supreme is once again President of the United States of America. 

By every known metric Kamala Harris was the superior candidate. She is younger, smarter, actually make sense when she talks, and her campaign reached out to everyone. Trump, on the other hand, made little sense when he spoke, filled his rhetoric with hate, bigotry, xenophobia. and misogyny. Hell, in the last week of the campaign at one point he didn't even know what state he was in. 

Tragically, Harris had two problems she could not overcome. She was the wrong color and, perhaps more importantly, the wrong gender. Trump promised women he would protect them while Harris promised she would empower them. Harris attempted to appeal to men's reason, while Trumps' not so subtle message to them was, "Do you really want some liberal, know it all, estrogen filled, bitch running this country?" Too many men and women took the bait. 

Last night, unlike India, Israel, Germany, the UK and other nations Americans proved they will not elect a woman as the head of state, no matter how stupid and evil the alternative is. Now everything, including democracy as we know it, is at risk. Including those who opposed Donald Trump.

Today Politico published the names of those who are at the head of Trump's List.. They are, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Letitia James, Arthur Engoron, Liz Cheney and everyone else on the Jan. 6th committee, Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, Mark Milley, James Comey, Hunter Biden and, in fact the Biden family, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Adam Schiff, Mark Zukerberg, Mark Pomerantz, Michael Cohen, Michael Byrd, Jamaal Bowman, 51 U.S. intelligence,  officials who signed a letter about Hunter Biden's lap top, anyone he decides was in on 2020 election fraud, and last, but not least, the publisher and everyone who works for Politico. 

Look for the List to expend. If history teaches us anything, it's that the people who start purges never stop them, It's a paranoia thing. Just ask the ghosts of Herr Hitler and Joe Stalin. Once you start looking, it turns out enemies of the state are fucking everywhere.

Here in Oklahoma Donald Trump won all 77 counties, the vast majority of them easily. The only place it was even close was Oklahoma County, home to Oklahoma City. Harris came up 1.7% short. In counties to the west she was lucky to win even 10% of the votes cast. The landslide was so profound NBC called the state for Trump about five minutes after the polls closed. 

Nationally it wasn't a Trump mandate, although he will claim it is. He won 277 electoral votes, only seven more than bare minimum. In four years though, those numbers will be long forgotten, or more likely, erased from the books. There is no doubt that beginning on January 20th next year all recent history will be altered dramatically, or changed completely much like Orwell envisioned it being done in his novel, "1984" Think not? They've already morphed the January 6th insurrection into a, "peaceful transfer of power."      

Well, one supposes Canada is always an option, or perhaps Belize if a warmer climate is more appealing. Maybe even New Zealand, especially if you have a taste for grilled lamb chops.  

One thing we know for sure is that now Donald Trump is back in the White House the only way he will ever leave again is if he is carried out. That, to paraphrase a lyric, is "the nature of his game."

Two days ago I wrote Harris would win because I believed this country isn't what Donald Trump thinks it is. I was wrong. The nation is exactly what that corrupt autocratic bastard thinks it is--a place filled with gullible rubes, fascists, and cowards. And it is utterly repellent.

Or, as our pal H.L Mencken also said, "On some great and glorious day the plain folks of this land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."   

Little did Mencken suspect we'd do it not just once, but twice. I guess, like me, the old boy simply overestimated us.
