President Trump and his band of hyper-talented heroes/associates have won a decisive victory over the Progressive/Deep State/Media/Intelligence Agency Machine. Trump and allies need to convert a tactical victory into a long-term strategic victory. They need to restore the Republic, eviscerate the administrative state, and start the road back to public trust in our institutions. To do this, they have to restore a healthy economy and the fear of America’s might to our enemies abroad.
Three terms of President Barack Obama’s vision for a fractured, divisive, wounded and emasculated America has done a great deal of damage to the nation’s economy, military, and monetary systems. Our enemies have been emboldened and the welfare state bloated to benefit millions of invaders invited to the nation by Obama surrogate Joe Biden.
The election of President Trump and his team has already accomplished much. The lying, deceitful propaganda arm of the left, the “Media” concluded the win was “too big to rig”. Instead of calling for more lawfare and insurrection against a duly elected president, as they did in 2016, they acknowledged President Trump’s victory. It is unlikely that massive riots will be incited against Trump before he is inaugurated. Such insurrections need the support of the media machine. It is not forthcoming. There will be no “color revolution” against President Trump. The oligarchy has too much to lose. With Trump in office, they have no realistic place to hide.
China has shown they cannot be relied on to respect property, persons, or any rule of law. Russia shows how the Putin machine reacts to wealthy oligarchs who fall out of favor: defenestration, gelsemium, or polonium. Europe may offer sanctuary, but Europe is rediscovering the value in its sovereignty and customs, and has always respected President Trump over President Obama. In an increasingly transparent world, where do billionaires hide after they back a failed coup? Why would they want to live in the manner required? Hence, Jeff Bezos withholds the endorsement of the Washington Post. Patrick Soon-Shiong witholds the endorsement of the Los Angeles Times.
Elon Musk showed the way, not only to resist the DeepState, but to actively support the restoration of the Republic under President Donald Trump. Tens of millions flowed into Trump’s campaign coffers. While the Trump Team raised only 2/3 of the campaign cash raised by the Harris/Biden/Obama machine, the money helped create a victorious campaign. The Trump Team showed a new, legitimate coalition had been formed.
If the Obama/Biden administration had been extended by a Harris/Walz administration, Elon Musk would have been destroyed. Musk understands this very well, as shown in the Joe Rogan interview. In that interview, Musk makes the obvious case for the Second Amendment to protect the Republic from tyranny.
When Elon Musk decided freedom of speech was worth fighting for and openly backed Donald Trump, other billionaires felt they had a chance to fight the Obama created/empowered and censorship oriented autocratic deep state. It is hard to see how the Obama/DeepState attempt to re-create a corrupt Chicago political machine, nationwide, will become stronger in the next four years. It is easy to see how the Deep State loses influence and power in a Trump administration.
X (formerly Twitter) is gaining influence as a free speech outlet. The old media has shown they are merely extreme partisan shills for Leftist politicians. They are losing audience and power. This election showed talented individuals with their own media, such as Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, and Dave Ramsey are at least as important, if not more important, than ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC.
There is an authenticity to individuals talking to, interviewing a politician in long form, or an intellectual talent who has earned an audience’s trust, which is not duplicated in the old media. As alternate media gains audience and power, old media loses audience and power. The power of the administrative state will be reduced. The power of the intelligence agencies over domestic politics will be reduced or abolished as too dangerous. The new Trump administration has learned from previous mistakes in personnel and has a plan to restore Constitutional government and limits on government power. The new Trump administration will replace 2-3 Supreme Court justices. It is likely Justice Thomas and Alito will retire and be replaced by vigorous, 40-year-old originalists and textualist lawyers. It is possible one of the three leftist justices will need to be replaced as well.
A single election will not restore the Republic and Constitutional government entirely. Such a project cannot be done in one term. It can be mostly done in three or four terms. A single term is a good start. A good start toward restoration of Constitutional government is far superior to moving into tyranny.
