The signs pointed into the direction of the Republicans, when Musk joined the campaign and when Zuckerberg revealed what he revealed. The other sign was Tulsi Gabbard and RFK giving up their own candidacy and party. Which for me meant, that part of the powers in play turned towards Trump to secure their money and also to be safer towards possible hostile actions from the other camp. Still, the outcome was far from being clear, since fraud and disturbance of the legal process must be calculated in.
In the lower ranks you've got people like Charlie Kirk and his followership, who did a hell lot of grass-root work to convince the populace, in particular students on campuses. His live show on yt yesterday was being deleted during me watching it and cannot be found on his channel. On the intellectual front you've got figures like Jordan Peterson. Even though they have the whole legacy media against them, they have big money against them, they seemed to have compensated it by hard work and a mindset of never surrender.
Which the other camp does not have in terms of regular people. The lefties are not known for being hard working folks, they may also have relied on the fact that they were in the stronger position and not have left the bed or cozy couch on election day.
One may think of Trump and his team what one wants. But since there were only two choices for the American people, they chose for what they think of clean capital instead of socialism. Americans mean it when they say that they "come first". We here in Germany seem to think the opposite (on the surface).
P.S. read my comment here, also.
The Left has been the party of deception, of censorship, fake news, and force. Unfortunately, it is not recognized that the Right is just as duplicitous.
This is why I voted for Dr. Shiva. Oregon is mail in voting only. There is almost no ability to assure clean elections because of this. Not surprisingly Oregon is controlled by the Left, and my vote wasn't going to change that.
Thanks!
What??? I did not know this. That is insane. Good grief.
You might find that interesting:
The thing is that Trump and his entire coterie (excluding Vance) have been lifelong Democrats, until running for President as Republican. It seems obvious to me that there is no longer a right wing in American politics. The Overton window has been shoved to the left so far the Conservatives just aren't part of the conversation. The incredible shift in the public view through the Overton window since 2012 makes Trump the same thing as Hitler in that view through the Overton window.
It's pretty ludicrous, but the control of the public discourse is impressive.
We are experiencing exactly the same phenomenon here, with the once conservative parties gradually moving further to the left under Merkel's leadership and all the women who stepped into that world through the last century before her. I now consider women in high political office to be fundamentally wrong. They are either very hairy on the teeth or dreaming dancers. Exceptions prove the rule.
My new life as a housewife has given me completely new insights into my female role. It's madness to deny yourself a soft heart. If you do, you are doing yourself wrong and ultimately leading yourself astray for the rest of your life. Since we got married, the roles between me and my husband have become clearer and clearer, and his is to give my son the kind of fatherhood he needs. I have to let him have his way and although I am still free to spoil my offspring, I can see the rightness of the male tougher action and do support my man in this. The eureka (!) happens almost every week. It is such a relief for me to no longer have to be both man and woman, but to allow myself to prioritise the feminine and finally give up this eternal conflict.
I wish many more women would have this experience, which is as taboo today as the devil shuns holy water.
I couldn't have hoped for more.
On the political side. What do you want to do? Just let everything run its course and ignore the ludicrousness?(more of a rhetorical question) We can see where that has got us. For my part, I believe that one should never surrender as long as one can enjoy life. In a way, you have to play the game.
So, I am having meanwhile some fun in writing satire-esque posts.
It sounds like you're heart is overfilling and your love is spilling over to all around you. It sounds like a great time to be someone close to you, to see you blooming and blossoming like that. I'm very happy for you.
Thank you very much.
It's so good to pack away the illusions and excuses I formerly had when I was younger. It is not that I was totally out of touch with reality. But to love and to live together with a genuine man is an experience. Who is strong, determined, focused and to whom I can submit without betraying myself, is something I cannot really express. Don't get me wrong. He is not flawless. But there is something going on between a man and a woman which is unique in its own. I feel sorry for all the loners and losers out there who didn't man up and who did not woman up.
