We Stopped Hillary
Townhall.com ^ | November 10, 2016 | Kurt Schlichter

Well, that could have gone a lot worse.

In the wake of Hillary’s massive, unequivocal, humiliating rejection, I was going to write this column on the critical need for us conservatives to have a big group hug and restore the shattered bonds that should unite us, whether #NeverTrump, #NeverHillary or #IHateEveryone. But that can wait. Right now, I have some savoring to do. Let’s see, we have the executive branch, the legislative branch and we’ll be taking back the judicial branch. The mainstream media is in a state of shock. Liberals are having fits. And the ocean is still rising, as one of my Twitter followers observed, only it’s because of liberal tears.

Tuesday was a good day for everything awesome in America except for my book series. Then again, maybe not. With the #NotMyPresident hashtag happening among devastated millennials who, for the first time in their bubble-wrapped lives got told “No,” maybe they’ll be the ones demanding succession from that hateful, racists, sexist, imperialist, transphobic, and racist big red blob between the liberal cities called “America.”

Don’t worry, libs. California still seems eager to buck the trend and stick with stupid. You can all come out here to slake your thirst for socialist failure, slowly paying off that gender studies degree getting me my dry cleaning as part of your career doing Task Rabbit gigs.Or, maybe, just maybe, someday you’ll be able to get a decent job that will let you support a family like your parents (or, really, their parents) had. But you’ll have to forgo the palm trees and random Amy Schumer sightings in Santa Monica.

I could take this opportunity to extend my hand to my liberal co-citizens and the non-citizens they wanted to just hand the gift of citizenship in return for the implicit promise to vote for whichever corrupt leftist the Democrats decided to wheel out on a Hannibal Lector handcart. But no. That can wait too – for now, the only thing I’m extending is my middle finger.

You built this. Now suck on it.

You jerks thought we normals were terrible and stupid when you thought of us at all. How do you like us now? Are you worried that an unfriendly executive branch might unleash its dogs at the, say, IRS upon you? That bureaucrats might destroy the entire industry that you work in, that supports your family, to satisfy the whims of the regime’s ideology? That the government is heading toward the time when it might send armed federal agents to your house to arrest you for exercising your constitutional rights?

Welcome to the last eight years as a normal.

Not so big on unlimited executive power anymore, are you? Seeing how maybe those Dead White Cis-Het Males with funny wigs back in olden times might have had a point?

Well, you need to do a little sweating, a little worrying. Fear is the teacher, and class is in session. Maybe you’ll learn something. Maybe you’ll stand up for what’s right the next time your side is honored with America’s steering wheel and some leftist serpent starts hissing that you should throw all that due process and Bill of Rights stuff out the window in the name of progressive expedience.

How’s it feel with the Doc Marten on the other foot?

But I doubt you’ll learn. You’re kind of dumb, and you tend to sniff along behind aspiring fascists. So we’ll still keep buying guns and ammo at record rates, thank you very much, because we doubt you’ll learn anything about the rule of law from your time wondering if you can rely on it.

Heck, if we had any money after eight years of that creased-pants joke’s misrule, we’d use the stock market panic dip as a buying opportunity for loading up on otherwise skyrocketing gun company stocks. Oh, and also shares of whoever makes Crown Royal– I hear that’s Hillary’s booze of choice.

There’s more good news. For at least the next four years we’ll see a renewed interest in that quaint concept called “checks and balances.” Watch for Donald Trump – excuse me, President Donald Trump – to be the most checked and balanced chief exec ever. And that’s terrific.

Oh, and the media will re-discover curiosity about governmental misconduct and inefficiency again – once the collective weeping ends. Watching their faces collapse like the Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark when President-elect Donald Trump crossed 270 was one of the great moments of my life. Their collective pain is our collective joy. And they have a long time and a lot of hard work ahead if they hope to ever regain our trust – but, of course, I have zero confidence that they even understand how completely they have destroyed their own credibility. A few professional journalists knew what was coming – Salena Zito saw what was happening because she left the comfortable cities and went out to actually talk to the people who just shocked the world. Any media outlet interested in actually covering America should swoop her up.

Back to savoring.

We rejected corruption. We rejected the elites who hold us in contempt. We rejected the political correctness and its posse of lies that was designed to silence us, to make us kneel, bow and obey. We stopped politely asking for respect – we took it. And there’s nothing you can do about it.

We are the majority – at least of electoral votes, suckers – and we are awake. This election shows that we are no longer going to be silent.

Yeah, that could have gone a lot worse.

After a lifetime in politics she still doesn’t have a single political accomplishment to speak of.

The truly sobering aspect of the election is that HRC still took the popular vote. It is gonna take me a while to crunch the percent of eligible/participating voter turnout and all the remaining facets, but I really shudder to know that more than 50% of those that voted, did so for a woman that has left a trail of death, destruction, and wonton disregard for law and our Constitution.

This nation truly is in need of revolution and revival.

In a perfect world, HilLIARy would be indicted [IF SHE WAS INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY] no matter if she was Republican or Democrat, whether she won or not.

But it is clear that the media thinks she would not have been investigated any further if she had won, and the she will only be investigated now because a republican won.

It has become increasingly apparent over the last 20 years, that Democrats do not want to prosecute other democrats, and do so only when it cannot be avoided. So much so the media treat the reality of that without any concerns of how wrong it is, proving it further (they are nearly all democrats).

HilLIARy was the ultimate example of that. I think she could have cooked and eaten a live baby on the Capitol Steps, and the media would have marveled at her culinary skills.

They still are. Kaslin constantly reposts their anti-Trump propaganda here.

We don’t need to come together.

We need to do away with the false concept that diversity is good. We need to be able to discriminate and resolve the serious problems of the inner city scum that has rent the American fabric. We need to eradicate the various Political Correctness concepts constantly drummed into our society.

The American cities are obsolete. The cities can not be saved. The city structure must first be torn down and hauled to a dump. After the old is completely removed, something new but different can be erected in place.

The corruption must be rooted out and the corrupt loaded up and shipped off to mental rehabilitation centers. The grub will be thin gruel, bread and water. There must be control of appeals and the corrupt must be in the rehab centers during the appeal.

1) Voting for Reagan in 1980.
2) Being part of the 1994 electoral tsunami.
3) Watching the outcome of the 2016 election.

My top three lifetime political memories.

Hillary Clinton 47.50%
Donald Trump 47.29%
Gary Johnson 3.23%

Bill Clinton never got a majority, either.
