This election season has been something, hasn’t it? There have been more twists and turns in the 2024 campaign than in all the amusement parks in the world. So I had a thought experiment: How would you explain this year to somebody who hadn’t experienced it?
Come with me to a room at St. Mary’s Hospital in Athens, Ga., as coma patient Jeff O’Connor wakes up and his (blessedly conservative) physician, Dr. Jacob Taylor, talks with him.
Dr. Taylor: Good morning, Jeff. We’re glad you’re awake. Your wife Paige is on the way with some of your personal items.
Jeff: What day is it?
Dr. Taylor: It’s Nov. 7, 2024, and you’ve been in a coma for exactly a year.
Jeff: Wow, so I guess I missed out on a lot of things.
Dr. Taylor: That might be an understatement.
Jeff: Did the Georgia Bulldogs win a third national championship?
Dr. Taylor: Unfortunately, no. They lost to Alabama in the SEC Championship, and the playoff committee punished them for it. But Nick Saban retired after the season.
Jeff: That should help us against Alabama.
Dr. Taylor: You’d think so, but that wasn’t the case this season.
Jeff: Oh no. Wait a second, Doc, the election was this week, wasn’t it?
Dr. Taylor: Yes.
Jeff: Who won?
Dr. Taylor: Donald Trump did.
Jeff: Oh good. I guess he defeated Joe Biden pretty handily, right?
Dr. Taylor: (sighs) Not exactly.
Jeff: What do you mean?
Dr. Taylor: (pulls up a chair) There’s a lot to explain.
Jeff: Tell me all about it.
Dr. Taylor: Let’s start with what happened this summer. Things were fairly uneventful, and the polls were pretty even until Trump debated Biden. Biden was incoherent, and it played to Trump’s advantage.

A silly article, but a reminder of the many, many crazy things that have happened in just a few months.
And the sun was shining! The birds singing! All is well!Was it just a bad dream?
The biggest problem is explaining the insanity of “Woke” to a person emerging from a coma. After that, the election would be relatively easy.
Ditto that.
DEI is gonna die. Woke is gonna take a dirt nap. Children are going to be rescued from the Doctor Frankensteins who want to cut off their franks and beans (Perhaps it should be Dr. Frankenbeans).
It’s always a bad dream when dims run things Boo Boo
I respect a good coma.
To sum it up, it was basically Rocky III with politicians.
You mean like, to President Biden?
Does anyone remember the joke about the man who woke up from a coma in 1969? Had to do with Eisenhower.
This one by chance:
A man who had been in a coma since the 1950s came out of his coma during Richard Nixon’s second term. He was told that he’d been unconscious for an extended period of time. The man said, “Tell me how President Eisenhower is.” He was told than President Eisenhower was dead.
After hearing this sad news, the man said, “Oh no, with Eisenhower dead, we’re doomed because Richard Nixon is president” and then the man suddenly died of a heart attack.
That’s the one, thanks!
I really think so.
This feels so different than it did in 2017 when Trump entered a hostile Washington DC after barely winning the election and losing the popular vote by millions. Every Democrat hated him and half the GOP did as well. Trump supporters were getting fired from their jobs and almost from Day One, the opposition within both parties mounted their resistance and hobbled President Trump at every turn.
They proceeded to crank up wokeness to 11. If you weren't on board with their social justice agenda, be prepared to pay a heavy price. Trump might have been the president but they were in charge.
In January 2025 he will be entering the White House for the second time under the aegis of a massive popular vote landslide victory. The Democrats are broken and rudderless. Their agenda has been soundly rejected by a majority of American voters from all demographics. The GOP congressional majority will have their president's back. Free speech is once again permitted. The powerful social media websites are pro-Trump, or at least tolerant of Trump support (well, except for Reddit but they're withering away).
People are celebrating. Trump-supporting celebrities in Hollywood are coming out of the shadows.
It just feels so different this time. This what "joy" feels like.
