It's been more than a week since the 2024 election. While vote counting remains mysterious in Arizona and California, the result is clear: Donald Trump and the Republican Party. shattered.
While many commentators have already shared their wish lists and recommendations, now is also a good time to remember the prophets who were wildly off their predictions.
This time, the doomers posed a far greater threat to Trump's victory than the NeverTrump crowd.
The main culprits were those in the Democratic machine who actually believed their own exaggerations and their supporters who bought into the crazy leftist rhetoric. many people seriously thought trump was a fascist Who will overturn democracy, and Kamala Harris? next barack obama — as if that were any good.
Karine Jean Pierre admitted That this message is not meant to be taken seriously and that people are simply expected to forget. But that didn't stop the drama queens from taking action. shed tears in public and”coping space”While many of these actions seem staged, many on the left have really fallen for the propaganda. as i claim elsewherethis needs to change because it not only distorts and polarizes our politics, but also perpetuates mental illness.
Another, lesser-known group also had serious doubts about Trump's chances. These were influencers and fringe commentators who had already lost faith in the democratic process and believed the system was irreparably rigged.
In light of the 2020 and 2022 elections, some of their despair seemed justified. In 2020, Democrats pushed for universal mail-in voting, changed voting laws, and influenced the news media to push Joe Biden, who spent much of the campaign from his basement, into the Oval Office. Many people pointed out that 20 million votes difference Between Biden and Harris, it provided evidence of widespread vote stuffing and fraud in the last election. However, this difference seems to be narrowing day by day. can explain Without bringing up stories of mass fraud.
2022 Election, aka: The red wave that never existedalso fueled conservative conspiracy theories after the candidate claimed: brain damage and those hold your own elections Effort won. While some blamed poor candidates like Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker, it's fair to say something was wrong in states like Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada. Still, the results of 2022 did not exactly signal an impending disaster for the American republic or a totalitarian takeover by the left.
When Trump announced he was running for president again this year, these right-wing doomers were poised to be ousted before 2024 began. This wasn't just the jadedness of the past two electoral setbacks. These were false prophets telling patriotic Americans to give up on their country and prepare for the worst. In their view, everyone was a communist infiltrator, a traitor, a fraud, or an outright idiot. They tell people that the early voting push is all a ploy to help Democrats win, that “China-run” Dominion machines will wipe out Republican votes, and that “Democrats are now desperate.” If there are people who think so, please think about what they are doing.” They will do so once election season begins in earnest. ”
In addition to this, they predicted that if Trump won, there would be mass riots across the country and the country would descend into civil war.
While some of this paranoia has a basis in reality, culminating in two assassination attempts, much of it was designed solely to demoralize conservatives and attract paying subscribers. (“If you want to know the truth about this country, follow me…''). This time, the doomers posed a far greater threat to Trump's victory than the NeverTrump crowd.
Fortunately, enough Americans went to vote anyway. Despite the warnings, some people voted early, some mailed their ballots, and some voted on Election Day. Trump's lawyers and campaign organizers worked tirelessly to: prevent undue interference. Everything went well and, as some of us predicted, the impact was minimal. Americans are ready to move forward and look forward to better days.
One of the first challenges is to fix the current election system by requiring voter ID, in-person voting, and paper ballots. The next priority should be to purge the conservative movement of corrupters and eccentrics.
They currently represent the greatest obstacle to the legitimacy and effectiveness of the conservative movement. They were instrumental in removing establishment figures from the old Republican Party, but those dinosaurs are rapidly becoming extinct. It's time to bring new life and optimism to America.
