It is not Trump they fear, it’s you - He just has the nukes.

Trump’s quite right when he says it is not me they are after, it’s you—I’m just in the way. The updated version of this is it is not Trump they fear, it’s you—he just has the nukes.

Since the election, I have been trying to reconcile why his victory with no coattails feels like a landslide. Compared to 8 years ago, his majorities in the House and Senate are smaller.

Nevertheless, the media, the Democrats and the RINOs are broken now. There are many reasons that built up to this. The first being:

1. They stole the election and wrote him off:

I turn to that great poet-philosopher-stoned drunkard Ozzy Osbourne, who wrote:

Is he alive or dead?

Has he thoughts within his head?

We’ll just pass him there

Why should we even care?

Jonathan Karl, the detestable network anchor who came up with QatarGate, literally wrote Trump off a year after his electoral defeat to the deep state, with a book, Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show.

I haven’t read it, but I am sure it is a good book filled with quotes from the experts on politics in DC—and totally wrong, of course. The cheers of the Never Trump crowd could not drown the truth that the deep state used mail-in votes to overwhelm the majority he enjoyed on election night.

Karl’s book was fiction because the 2020 election was not Trump’s final act. We are in a three-act morality play. We are living that third act today and surely by now they must realize they are the bad guys.

2. They tried to humiliate him.

Delilah betrayed Samson by cutting his hair—depriving him of his strength—and turned him over to the Philistines. His captors mocked him, gouged his eyes and chained him to a millstone.

But his hair grew back and his faith in God—the real source of his strength—grew. He then destroyed the pagan temple and the pagans as well, costing him his life here on Earth and presaging the crucifixion of Christ.

Trump is not Jesus or even Samson but the story is similar. The deep state’s raid on Mar-a-Lago backfired. The mugshot rallied his people. The assassination attempt sealed the deal.

3. The auto pen of the deep state ruled the country.

Joe Biden did well and enjoyed a comfortable 50+ job approval rating. Then in the seventh month of his reign, he inexplicable abandoned Afghanistan and $8 billion in military hardware. The deep state—Red China’s Milley—convinced him that it would cost too much to bring the planes and bombs back. Biden was too dumb to spot the foolishness of saying it costs more to transport equipment than the equipment is worth.

But Biden was brain dead. He became FJB the next month when student sections at SEC football games began chanting

Because it was one. The Slave Party was forced into diminishing Republican seats in Congress.

It's the unionized Democrat bureaucracy that counts the votes, no better demonstrated than in Maricopa County or Philadelphia.

The Democrats don’t just lack a plan—they despise those people who think they need one. That's why they call us "the deplorables".

They don’t want to earn our votes by offering a vision or results. They want power handed to them—no questions asked, no accountability required.

They hate Trump not because he’s chaotic or extreme, but because he actually has a plan to lead, and voters see that it works. His approach is results-driven, not performative.

That’s what scares them most: the idea that leadership might actually mean delivering for the American people.

As history is written, Biden should receive an F.

What he did in Afghanistan, Ukraine, with Covid, our energy policies, J6 and throwing people in prison, mass censorship, using government propaganda on our own citizens, having tax payers pay for sex changes in the DoD which had soldiers that couldn't even do their job, the trade deficits we were running, the border mess, mutilation of children on the LGBTQIA altar...

Obama: “Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f#$% things up.” Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/obama-privately-voiced-concerns-joe-biden-could-f-things-up-2020-8?op=1

Epic failure of a President that simply had the benefit of a strong pro-Democrat and liberal biased media backing him up, who reigned in a new era where the full power of government censorship and propaganda (starting ~ 2013 thanks to Obama) was behind him.

If you take out all the spin and look at the decisions he made, the results he achieved, he was a horrible President.

This is one of those articles where you HAVE to read it to the end to get all the necessary info, so break your rule, open the link, and read it.

(P. S. as a true conservative, I will give up my Oxford comma when they pry it out of my cold dead keyboard.)

To receive an F he could have succeeded up to 60% of the time. The only accurate grade would be ZERO.

I suspect Biden was not making many of these bad decisions, someone else was primarily running the presidency, as evidenced by the auto-pen criminality.

Like everyone else, Surber left out Biden's Benefactor and UNacknowledged buffer between the political class and We the People.
