MY TURN: The poisoning of America
America has spoken: Donald J. Trump won a landslide victory Nov. 5. However, the whining leftists are doing what they did last time: throwing a hissy fit. The difference this time is that the victory was so strong that all they have is to make ridiculous claims that are in fact, the poisoning of America. The voters revealed they are sick of it.
Poisoning
The claims that "Trump will never leave office" or "Trump is going to be a dictator" or Trump and his followers are "Nazis, racists, fascists, etc., etc." or "there will never be another election" are simply symptoms of a deeper problem: a lack of strength. These are also attempts to frighten others when they themselves are frightened based on misinformation. Yelling at those who disagree with them, crying over an election or loud protesting are not strength of character ... it is the poisoning of America.
The other day, a woman seriously suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome wrote a letter to one of our local newspapers claiming all sorts of ridiculous things about the man who won a huge landslide of votes. She literally attempted to poison the electorate with misinformation.
She claimed that Trump "embraced Project 2025" — yet throughout the campaign he continually reminded folks he had not embraced any such thing. She claimed the election was stolen by billionaires and corporate shills. She claimed that Trump's ideas will raise prices (it did the opposite when he was in office previously). She claimed all farm workers would be deported (again, that didn't happen previously).
Her arguments were the poisoning of America, total leftist talking points that were revealed as total failures by the 2024 election. (It might also be a great idea for her to move back to the blue state she came from. Just saying.)
There are over 13,000 convicted murderers in the U.S. that shouldn't be here. The CBP reported that there are over 400,000 convicted criminal migrants here in the U.S. that were let in by the Biden administration. Those criminals are a direct threat to your safety.
There are literally hundreds of terrorist-connected migrants that were allowed into the U.S. with no vetting. They are a direct threat to national security. Democrats wrapped themselves in left-wing lies and lost because of it.
Kamala spent over $1 billion on celebrity performances and her campaign ended up $20 million in the hole. Her lack of fiscal responsibility shows that she would have been a terrible president. That's not even counting the times she giggled her way through interviews and meetings with foreign leaders.
The media spreads misinformation. Leftists spread misinformation. The freaked-out harpies on "The View" spread misinformation. And we have seen the total meltdowns that prove there is no strength of character in their psyche. America is not the bastion of Marxism these people believed it to be — it is much more middle-of-the-road than they thought.
Democrats and their crazy-town buddies tried to commit the poisoning of America. Thank goodness that so far they failed resoundingly.
