He might go away, but his legacy won't. We are headed back in the direction of authoritarian collectivism. Last night's election made that clear. It may take awhile, but that is where we are going. Too many people have been brainwashed into thinking liberty is a bad thing and that voting in their own worst interest is a good thing.

His attempt to "fundamentally transform America" is not done. It is just starting. Last night's election proved that. With all that the left has done in the last two years--all the riots, crying, accusing, cursing, hating, intimidating, etc--there is no reason they should have gotten even 1% of the vote. But rather, they got more or less half the vote. That doesn't bode well for the future of anyone that gives a damn about liberty.

If you do give a damn about liberty, enjoy it. You have two years until it will start to go down the toilet again. Oh sure, you'll be able to smoke dope and marry your pet dog or goldfish, but REAL liberty in the U.S.--liberty that really means something--will be a thing of the past in the not-too-distant future. Enjoy. And you will deserve what you get if you voted for even one democrat.

Nope. He can't help it. Destructive or not, he needs to be the center of attention.


Looking back, George W. Bush doesn't get nearly enough credit for practically falling off the face of the earth during the Obama administration. It really was the political version of an Irish goodbye. Sure enough, his popularity has vastly risen.

Oh yeah, as if the past two years have been a rose garden !

When Trump replaces RBG for his third SCOTUS pick, one term will have been sufficient for many folks.
