Some observations for why the election turned out as it did

I do wonder of the Left is willing to listen?  No, they won’t – they’ll chalk up the Prez loss to “bad messaging” (standard excuse) or BIGOTS, MISOGYNISTS, XENOPHOBES, JINGOISTS, HOMOPHOBES, RACISTS, CHRISTIANIST (add more adjectives as you see fit)!  But there are some people speaking to EXACTLY why folks voted for Trump and here’s a few the reasonings (reformatted, emphasis mine):

  • FLASHBACK: Peter Turchin: Blame Rich, Overeducated Elites as Society Frays. “Complex human societies, including our own, are fragile. They are held together by an invisible web of mutual trust and social cooperation. This web can fray easily, resulting in a wave of political instability, internal conflict and, sometimes, outright social collapse. . . . We now see the same forces in the contemporary U.S. Of about 30 detailed indicators I developed for tracing these historical cycles (reflecting popular well-being, inequality, social cooperation and its inverse, polarization and conflict), almost all have been moving in the wrong direction in the last three decades.”

Notable Quote – Kevin Williamson

And so it goes. As windows were smashed, fires were set, and bystanders beaten, our progressive friends tut-tutted that the protests were “mostly peaceful.” “Mostly peaceful” is another way of saying, “Peaceful, if you ignore the violence.” But even if we set aside the arson and vandalism and the assaults, there is plenty to lament … Read more

Carol Shea-Porter must be spending time with Fauxcahauntus

That would be Senator Elizabeth “High Cheekbones” Warren – also speaking with forked tongue: Shot: Rep.-Elect Carol Shea-Porter had a liberal voting record during two earlier terms but retained a good working relationship with GOP leaders. “I’ve always been proud of the fact that my Republican colleagues have said I am their favorite Democrat to … Read more

Ah yes, we see the Left as they truly are – intolerant: Part 2

nbc_anti-trump_riot_scare_quotes_11-11-16-1Crybullies.  Waa, waa, waa.  If you don’t agree with them, DIE!  And as we have been seeing for the last few days, these “tolerant” people are fine with causing damage to Property not their own, injuring police…

Sidenote: for the political side that truly wants Bigger Government to control everything, how come they they hate this part of that larger Government? Oh, really?

Anyways, about those gracious losers…

Notable Quote – Mike Rowe (aka “Dirty Jobs”)

Back in 2003, a very unusual TV pilot called Dirty Jobs, Forrest-Gumped its way onto The Discovery Channel and found an audience – a big one. For Discovery, this was a problem. You see, Dirty Jobs didn’t look like anything else on their channel. It wasn’t pretty or careful. It took place in sewers and … Read more

Ah yes, we see the Left as they truly are – intolerant

Here’s a few examples of the nicity, the civility, their ability to extend an olive branch to the incoming REPUBLICAN President.  Just like clockwork -every President with an R after their name is the second coming of Mussolini and Hitler and must be stopped.

Sidenote: I’m betting that most of these obtuse crybullies couldn’t even spell Mussolini much less know he was THE modern Fascist leader.

Progressive groups vow to ‘obstruct, delay, and halt’ Donald Trump’s agenda

Democracy for America, a leading liberal political action committee and dependable advocate for the Democratic Party, called for a “progressive political revolution” to stymie what it described as Mr. Trump’s racist and sexist agenda…“We are more convinced than ever that our country needs a massive, multiracial, multigenerational progressive political revolution led by women and people of color that is not beholden to the broken political establishment that brought us to this moment,” he said. “And that’s precisely what we’ll work with our members and our allies to build in the days, weeks and months ahead.”

That is the American way – advocate.  And demonstrate – but boy, all these “spontaneous” demonstrations seemed to be, well, organized?

BlogQuestion of the Day – what, you REALLY have to ask?

AT THE MOMENT: At the moment it appears we will see –as the sun rises– a Republican House, a Republican Senate, a leftist crooked Democrat media, a corrupt federal bureaucracy, a corrupt political elite and a nationalist president. Of course, we also have an angry American electorate. Which one is more powerful? Both the Democrats … Read more

And of course, those HIGHly educated Academicians are so thrilled with Trump’s win

Fragile Meltdowns all over the place.  Yes, these young’uns that think they are ready to rule the world just don’t seem to be ready to be IN the world.  An amalgam of their reactions (and yes, you can predict exactly what has transpired without reading the rest of this post (but you should and go to the links – I just smiled and smiled and chuckled and chuckled.

And went hysterical – there’s no way we can just seal them off and keep them in the Ivory Tower of Tears.  The first one is my favorite – these precious snowflakes could NEVER take on my first boss!  She would have eyed them up and down, sized them up, and proceed to flay them 1″ patch of skin at a time with just her words.

Yale Professor Cancels Exam for Snowflake Students Distraught at Election Result

Liberal students across the nation watched in shock as Donald Trump clinched victory from Hillary Clinton to become the 45th president of the United States. But some wiped their tears, and pulled themselves together enough to ask their professors to cancel their exams because they were so upset by the results. And one Yale economics professor heard the cry, and decided to protect his snowflake charges by making the test optional.

I thought that college was prep for real life – I just had my year end review and trust me, it ain’t optional. But WAIT! There’s much more – and each one is just as stupid (or worse) than the next:

Progressives – shattered on the rocks of “there’s more than one world view”

democrat-baby-smallYou know why we Groksters are mirthily posting up all these stories about the Progressives / Liberals / Democrats?  OK, ok, it’s fun. But it is also important that we do so.

They’re rediculous in their reactions (both the meltdowns and the rioting).  Just as Marine Col  Nathan R. Jessup, in “A Few Good Men” scream out from the witness chair “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!”, we’re seeing the results of the “reality based Party” unable to, <insert giggle here>, well, handle reality.

The reality is that they lost.  The more important reality is that they are now seeing, through their popped political distortion bubble, that not only is there more than one worldview that people hold, but that the worldview that they hold was TOTALLY rejected by the rest of us –

“The NHGOP really needs to rethink it’s relationship with conservatives.”

Charlie Brown Lucy footballThat was part of an email sent in to Grokster Steve and I.  It spurred the immediate question:

Why should it?

What’s its downside from a historical perspective? Conservatives reliably vote for the Republican Party in election after election. We hear the nice words that make us think “hey,  s/he’s with us!”. Just as if we’re the GOP version of the blacks and the Democrat Party – the bloc of voters that just keep voting in lockstep regardless of the results.

After all, the TEA Party tried it – wrung out of its votes in 2010 after enduring attack after attack from the Progressives, Socialists, and Democrats, the Republicans started in.  Many of those same folks decided that they DIDN’T want a relationship with the GOP after the condescending treatment they received.

Steve’s post title says it all:

Data Point – who was more efficient in “vote per dollar spent”?

According to Reuters: Relying heavily on an unorthodox mix of social media, unfiltered rhetoric, and a knack for winning free TV time, the New York real estate magnate likely paid less than $5 per vote during his insurgent White House bid, about half what Clinton paid. In total, Trump raised at least $270 million since launching … Read more

In which I agree with Julian Assange

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, defended his website’s decision to publish thousands of internal emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign in a statement Tuesday on the U.S. election. “[I]rrespective of the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election, the real victor is the US public, which is better informed as a result of our work,” Assange … Read more

Obamacare – now what? Yes, I have a very simple solution

obamacareAll things considered, that is and the best part of it is all the GOP has do is just Alinsky it:

RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

In other words, exploit their own words.  And in this case, there is a single phrase that is repeated well over 2,000 times in this only-Democrats-voted-for-this Obamacare bill: “the Secretary shall…“.  In concocting this bad piece of legislation (in all KINDS of ways), the Progressive led House and Senate, in their rush to pass something as fast as possible, literally handed their legislative power over to the Executive Branch whose head and minions were of the same ilk.  Yep, “I’ll be happy to do that for you high paid gasbags that are too lazy to do your jobs”.  And continued the process of building the unassailable Administrative State. So what is it that can be done?

No surprise – now that the Republicans hold the Oval Office again

They accused us of blatant racism because Obama was black when we disagreed with his policies (not his skin color).  Can we hold these race-baiters accountable in reverse (Trump is white) because they only care about skin color? (H/T: Instapundit)

Freaking out Liberals: how can so many people be on the “wrong side of history”?

Progressives – they often are wont to bring up one of the stupidest phrases ever conceived (but it IS a Progressive “tell” so when you hear it….):  The right side of history. It is used to divide by making themselves superior; THEY have made all the right decisions and have the right philosophy and the correct worldview.  Until they are proven wrong – and then they refuse to really navel-gaze to figure out WHY the rest of us “don’t get it”.  Like now!  I really can’t copy most of what is said in that post or I’d be violating ‘Grok Rule #1 but suffice to say that these Hollywood actors (many who have spent the last 8 years calling the rest of us really bad adjectives) are having meltdown over what they assumed to be a shoo-in for Hillary The Annointed.  How DARE those Trump supporters think that they should have gotten behind that brutish throw back of a misogynist profit-maker!

Ahem – that’s President to y’all.

I watched a little of GMA this morning (TMEW’s morning program) and it was CLEAR that the normal Happy-Babby psychobabble dippity-due fluff they call news as out the window.  Somber?  Downcast?  Crestfallen?  Unbelief?  Schocked? Dumbfounded? Thoughts of seppuku (especially former Clinton wonderkind Georgie)?  Such a wannabee uncouth barbarian – people voted for him???

I couldn’t couldn’t stop giggling as I
