The cartoon above is from July 1, 2016 and was the point that I finally and very reluctantly came to the conclusion that Donald Trump should become President.
That lengthy post, which is worth reading for historical perspective, sums up this way:
Donald Trump is potentially a yuuuuge disrupter at a time when our political system needs huge disruption. Our nation would be far more likely to survive his probably policy failures than even a single term of Hillary Clinton's toxic policy successes. Which is why we to cast a "Breaks It" vote for Trump in November. There's a lot that needs breaking.
Sadly, between the pandemic and an unprecedented governmental effort to sabotage Trump's administration and (bonus!) send him to jail, my ears were never treated to the sounds of a bull shattering china (preferably still in Democrats' hands) that I'd hoped for. But that was then, and this is now. And...wow.
The Trump who was sworn in this time is not the same guy who was sworn in last time. He has been galvanized by continuous attacks from the Left, up to and including assassination attempts which still look suspiciously like they were being "allowed" to happen. And he is a man who now understands the depths of Washington's mendacity and what it takes to effectively wield Presidential authority.
His performance to date has been jaw-dropping. In only a few weeks, he's accomplished more than Joe Biden did in his entire bribe-taking life. And between DOGE and a raft of atypical cabinet appointees, the swamp dwellers realize that This Time It's Real. The waste, corruption, the not-so-secret CIA dark government designed to control "enemies" (that's you and me!) at home and abroad, collusion with the media, and Leftist policies deliberately targeted to weaken and divide our society - all of these things are simultaneously under attack and, delightfully, Trump isn't taking prisoners. Well, mostly...
This is change on a scale I've wished for but never expected to see. An honest-to-gosh revolution powered by average Americans who have been pushed too far and lied to too often. People who think it's time for Washington to relearn what accountability means, fiscally, morally, and legally.
I'm loving it.
