And So Here We Are

There's an old saying about the way to really hurt someone is to hit them in the pocketbook or just ignore them.

This sounds like an either or proposition but it really isn't, especially when it comes to MSM. In this second post-Election Day there is nothing too harsh, too mean to say about MSM, as they lick their wounds and whine and cry their way through the aftermath. They were losers long before this election, but they are now totally irrelevant, a place they well deserve.

The millions of Trump supporters who were simply voting their consciences and legitimate frustrations who MSM pitifully and unmercifully pilloried can now if they so choose to apply the leverage of their pocketbooks and their indifference to what has become one of the most disgraceful institutions in American history.

Forgiveness is synonymous with latitude. There can be no forgiveness here because there was no latitude there. These are merciless, agenda-driven people who deserve no mercy. This is far from over. Nor should it be. One hundred and ten million voters expressed their opinions and the popular vote--irrespective of who the media claims won--was settled by a few hundred thousand infinitesimal votes. This is no 80-20, 70-30 or even 55-45 separation. This is as right down the middle as it gets, an extremely dangerous result with a clear absence of latitude these other figures at least suggests.

In essence, there are no more minds left to be changed. This is far from over. Suffering eight years under a president who was no more our president than those mostly young people currently protesting and carrying signs the current president-elect is not their president resonates loud and clear. We know how they feel. One hundred ten million people voted and find themselves separated by what is an insignificant few hundred thousand votes.

The day after the election, a female client called and told us this story. She walked her grandson to school as she does most school days. There are usually other parents there doing the same. A lady whom she had never spoke to before, never even nodded to, though they were frequently there at the same time--a woman she described as brown skinned, possibly from India, came over with her small son and whispered to her in a heavy accent: "I am so happy. I just can't express how happy I am he won." Nothing else was said as they both dropped off their children and went their separate ways.

Later that afternoon the wife of a friend called. Said she's just come from having her nails done. Sitting next to her an older woman, a complete stranger, suddenly, shaking her head, broke the silence, as the television they were looking at rehashed the election."I just can't fathom,"she blurted out to our friend's wife, "how anyone could vote for Trump."

After a brief pause the wife of our friend agreed. She said. "I voted for Trump and I know a lot of people who did and none of us can fathom how anyone would want to put a known criminal in the White House either." So there you have it. Politicians as they always do can flap their lips about healing and coming together.  It's meaningless political cant. This is a long way from being over. The reaction of some Silicon Valley technocrats is just another example. And the room for latitude is all but exhausted, separated by just a few hundred thousand votes.

What's interesting about this link and the story and further proves our point, the comments were so negative, though we noted no foul language in the ones we read earlier, that CBS does what MSM always does, they removed the comments. And so here we are. Mr. Obama was not our president and it had nothing to do with his race, creed or color. If anything Mr. Trump's color is more in question today that Mr. Obama's color ever was. Hillary Clinton was never going to be our president and it had nothing to do with her gender.

These are all things the myopic MSM missed. We understand these young people and their feelings. And we extend them a hardy welcome to the club. This is where we are. And as those few insignificant hundred thousand votes attest, it won't be changing anytime soon. We also send a hardy shout out to the elites and the academics for helping get us here.

We said before and we will repeat it one more time: This is the healthiest election of our time.
