Most of us who supported Trump during this election cycle did so fully aware of the fact that the Republican establishment was going to collapse as a result. According to liberals, it collapsed years ago. Ironically, it was this same collapse that Democrats used as an example of why Donald Trump wasn’t a proper fit for the presidency. Does this make any sense? No. We wanted the Republican establishment to fall, because it was a cancer, and it did. You, on the other hand, wanted it to fall because they weren’t Democrats.
So now that the biggest upset in political history is upon us, what do we see from progressives? Anger, hatred, name-calling, more finger-pointing (at anyone but themselves) and the usual fallback insults of “racist!”, “xenophobe!”, misogynist!”, “uneducated!”, “homophobe”, and “redneck!”.
Well, let me say this– the concession of Hillary Clinton and the words expressed by President Obama were both incredibly kind given the tense atmosphere of this campaign year. Trust me, I had very low expectations for both of those statements this morning and thought they would provide me with material to write about for weeks on end…but they hit it out of the park. If you do not emulate them, you’re foolish.
