Observation...

I think there's been a misconception on the part of those on the Left that all Trump voters were somehow hipppppmotizzzed into voting for him alone.

Like a "cult of personality," they tell us.  All day and all night they tell us that...  

No, I think he may well have just looked over his shoulder while walking along one day back in July of 2015 and discovered he was leading a parade.  A parade of millions and millions of disaffected Conservatives (many of them Republicans) who'd been mistreated, lied to, over-regulated, minimized, over-taxed, condescended to, insulted, demonized, beaten down and mainly IGNORED by their elected representatives and much of the Legacy Media for a generation or more.  Like so many serfs.  Did I say ignored?  Yes I did.  And they were looking for a champion to take them to the Conservative Promised Land.

A parade of millions who'd finally come to realize that the "powers that be" in the states bordering either of our vast oceans have been treating those in the middle of our Great Country, the so-called "fly-over people," as second-class citizens for far too long.

And it was Trump who just happened to come down the Golden Escalator that fateful day back in 2015 to pick up their gauntlet.

But those who selected Trump as their Champion back then did not do so, in my humble opinion, because he's a blustery, ornery, take no prisoners, loud, combative, competitive, insensitive, flawed, hard-charging, narcissistic sort of guy.  But mainly they did because no one else had shown up to champion their cause.  No one had shown up to be their Galahad.  I mean, Mitt Romney?  Hello!  Pullleeeezzz!  I think he wears silk underwear!  He holds up his pinky finger when he sips his sauvignon blanc!  And the fact that no one had done so before Trump tells us more about today's America than we should ever want to hear.

The 40%-or so of 'Murica that attached itself to Trump back then (and the 75+% of Republicans who say they'd still stick with him now), did so, in my opinion, because of what they hoped he would bring to that arrangement.  They knew that Trump was a businessman, not a politician.  A businessman who had succeeded admirably in his own life, and so they thought he might be able to bring some of that talent to the job of fixing Government.  After all, a never-ending stream of politicians hadn't managed to do so after decades, now had they?  They believed that Trump was willing to work hard, not just talk hard.  They heard him say he was dedicated to improving the plight of the working man and they chose to let him try.  They saw that he was willing to commit to a set of promises, and then be held to them.  And they saw that those promises were for the most part, kept.  

As he said to the Black population, "What do you have to lose?"

And all would have been, arguably, had Democrats not planted their Gucci-clad feet firmly in the turf and stalled almost all the legislation he and his Team managed to put forth.  And those who doubt the extent of that resistance only need consider the "Dirty "Pee" Dossier," the Russian Hoax, the Mueller Report, the Ukraine Phone Call, and two, read that TWO impeachments.  That, and a full-throated condemnation by nearly every single Media outlet in America.  Only his vaunted "Tax and Fiscal Reform Package" saw the light of day, and thankfully it did.  It lowered taxes on more than 81% of our citizens.   

Did the blow-dried talking heads on MSPMS and the Clinton News Network tell you this tax plan lowered taxes only on the rich?  Did they tell you that all day and all night?  Yeah, they lie like that.  All day and all night...

But despite Trump's many triumphs, he was thwarted continually in his efforts.  He was seen by his supporters as having tried, however.  After all, Trump was working for free, for God's sake!  He donated back to the Government a total of $1,400,000 of his salary to various charities during his 4-year term.  He felt that working as President was a privilege.  A privilege worth losing perhaps as much as one-half of his own personal fortune!  Although O'Biden took in some $16,000,000 in speaking fees the year after he left orifice as V.P., I'm wondering if good ol' Joe will now do the same?

O'Biden's now POTUS.  long live the POTUS!  Now, considering that his first actions as Prezzz was to issue 62 Executive Orders voiding some of Trump's most important accomplishments, and personally killing more than 100,000 high-paying, union jobs, I'm thinking it's gonna' be a bumpy ride....
