Why the left lost the election

This has been a passion filled election. If we can trust the media, over 71 million voted for Trump and about 75 million for Biden. Yet it was way too close to be called a presidential mandate for either side.

However, there are some important take a ways that may give us all hope. While the Presidency is still being decided, there is no doubt (from the results of the House, Senate and local races) that Republicans carried the election.

I have been saying for months that the Senate was the critical race in this election. Regardless of who ends up as President, with a Supreme Court dedicated to the Constitution and a Senate majority to stop court packing and any other radical leftist policies, Republicans are in a pretty good position to keep the left in line.

Besides, many of Biden’s votes were actually anti-Trump votes. Those voters don’t love Biden. Generally, they don’t’ know or care much what his policies might be. His main purpose was to central look (or no look at all) to the Democratic platform. That way, the left could attack Trump without having to present anything better. Now that Biden has done that, he will likely be tossed on the dung heap of history – unless he does what the left tells him to do.

And why does the left hate Trump so much – because he stood in the way of their socialist/communist agenda. He picked Supreme Court Judges that would decide the law rather than create law. He reduced federal regulations that hindered free enterprise and gave the federal government more dictatorial power over private businesses. He stood up and mocked insane social policies that destroyed families, religion and set back 50 years of progress in race relations. 

Too often, black leadership has stoked racial animosity to keep themselves relevant and in power.  Combined with democratic policies that kept too many minorities on the plantation with a cradle to grave welfare system – one that breeds dependency and punishes any urge to think independently, and the left thought they had the minority vote all tied up.  

However, in this election, thanks at least in part to deregulation, job growth for minorities has skyrocketed, empowering many of the poorest in society escape dependency and find  power through independence and freedom. As I write this, Trump is on track to have the GOP’s best showing among minorities in decades.

However, a similar situation existed on the republican side. While Trump had his loyal supporters, even some fanatics, some voted for Trump because he was the only candidate available if you didn’t want socialism to win.

Regardless of who eventually serves as President, all eyes had better turn to Georgia and the final two Senate seats up for grabs.

Democrat leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) promised this past Saturday that, “Now we take Georgia, and then we change the world.” 

Perhaps Schumer should have read Eleanor Byrd’s column last week.  More than 71 million Americans voted for Trump this last election and even if Biden eventually sits in the Oval Office, those folks are not going away. Beating Trump and then ignoring more than half the country might be real bad for democrats – and make that office pretty uncomfortable.
