Every vote that swayed and finally landed on Donald Trump gave our country a respite from everything all of us FReepers have agonized over for years.
I thank each of you and all the others who came over and I thank those who are becoming awakened and standing behind Trump at this time, too.
Amen and you’re welcome! Up until the moment I finally pulled for Trump, I was afraid he would be another politician who said all the right things but would ultimately govern as an establishment figurehead—same as the Bushes, McCain, Romney, and so many others had done.
But Trump did the one thing none of them ever did: he stayed the same course in the general as he did in the primary. He didn’t tack to the center the way everyone else had done and then either stayed there or even moved further to the left after he won! He stayed the course and really hasn’t changed. I’m very confident the President’s spots won’t change between now and 2020 and I can hardly wait to vote for him again!
“Folks, remember that the entire vote margin responsible for his win over Hillary was only 107,500 well-placed votes. Every vote that swayed and finally landed on Donald Trump gave our country a respite from everything all of us FReepers have agonized over for years. I thank each of you and all the others who came over and I thank those who are becoming awakened and standing behind Trump at this time, too.”
i feel like a contributed a little to that 107,500. I tend to write mini-essays here at FR, and I spent many hundreds of hours reposting my essays on many dozens of news sites all over the U.S. furing the second half of 2015 and all of 2016.
That was back when most venues still allowed reader commentary and the paid trolls and bots weren’t drowning out voices of reason. (Of course, all of that has changed since then, because most news sites no longer allow reader posts because posting facts that contradict the lies and propaganda was too embarrassing and negated the propaganda, and the few remaining ones that still allow reader posts have been largely drowned out by paid trolls and bots.)
