The National Nightmare Is Ending
X via RealClearPolitics ^ | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 01/02/2025 3:56:09 AM PST by RoosterRedux

The trainwreck of the last four years was force-multiplied by Biden’s own feebleness, masked by the most scandalous media-politico conspiracy of suppresson of it in US history.

But now there is a giddy sense that restoration and normalization are not just possible but on the horizon.

The truth now is set free, and it smothers the old lying denials about the origins of COVID, about the truth of diversity/equity/inclusion, about the naked greed of the Biden family syndicate, about the dementia of Joe, about the chauvinism of three sexes, and about the joy and momentum of the fracking, gun-toting, MacDonald’s veteran and border hawk Kamala Harris.

No one fears or listens to the now defenestrated frauds and tiring dissimulators: the Bidens, a Fauci, Mayorkas, Garland, Milley, Austin, Jean-Pierre, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, or McCabe—and their old lies that Hunter is brilliant, Biden is fit as a field, no gain-in-function viruses, a bat caused COVID, the border is secure, Chinese army generals are more trustworthy than Trump, the laptop was Russian, Trump is a Putin puppet, and always their nauseating “I can’t recall”, “ I don’t remember”, “I have no recollection”, and “I am not at liberty to say”.

Our allies are feeling more confident, our enemies scared.

The idea of an impending deterrent and reliable Trump administration has terrified Iran and helped collapse Syria. Israelis buoyant. Not so Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.

In anticipation, the dollar reigns, the stock market stays strong.

Even Trump’s traditional enemies, whether on Wall Street, Silicon Valley, or in corporate board rooms are whispering that they secretly are delighted with their old nemesis’s dream of more and cheaper energy, less government regulation and taxation, and confidence again that everything is now possible when a government says an exhilarant yes to dreams rather than [no].

Even after Inauguration Day, Deep State will still control the Congress, legislature, most of the bureaucracy, and every single sodding state leguslature.

We’ll have won a battle on Inauguration Day.

But not the war.

Jeez, more caffeine...

Even after Inauguration Day, Deep State will still control the Congress, the SCOTUS, most of the bureaucracy, and every single sodding state legislature.

Buckle up.

This is going to take a while.

yeah and then there will be the constant car bombs and shooters. Trump is going to have to move like Nero in the Matrix to dodge all those bullets.

I like VDH a lot, but he left out the most important ones: the stolen 2220 election and what really happened January 6, 2021.

“Even after Inauguration Day, Deep State will still control the Congress, legislature, most of the bureaucracy, and every single sodding state leguslature.”

What would you accept as evidence the Deep State you describe has diminished in power?

What evidence would you accept to show the Deep State defeated?

"their nauseating “I can’t recall”, “ I don’t remember”, “I have no recollection”, and “I am not at liberty to say”."

On the other hand, they have "Let me be clear"...But it depends on what the meaning of the word 'clear' is.

Let’s get past Jan 6, as they may still try some scam with the electoral votes.

“ What evidence would you accept to show the Deep State defeated?”

What’s needed to defeat the Deep State is mass firings of the bureaucracy (Milei style), as their favor-trading depends on stability in the bureaucracy, so that favors made can be reciprocated.

We also need investigations and prosecutions.

If that happens, then it’s a strong indication that the Deep State is defeated, whereas if the lawfare against Trump continues, then they’re not.

The article sounds like Trump has a magic wand and can magically make wrong things right. He does not.
