POINT: Trump delivered a win for common sense

Dan Backer, InsideSources.com on

Published in Political News

Common sense is back in America. Donald Trump is right: Not only is the Republican Party the “party of common sense,” but he has a clear mandate to bring common-sense policies back to America after years of radical leftist failure.

Trump’s 2024 victory is a win for normality and a crushing loss for left-wing Democrats who insist on selling wokeness to American voters who won’t buy it. The left’s meltdown post-Election Day is a testament to the craziness of today’s liberals, who are now pivoting (again) to “resistance” mode. In recent days, we have heard liberals complain about racism, sexism, misogyny, xenophobia, fascism and everything else under the sun to vilify Trump and his voters.

The reality is the people who claim Trump is Adolf Hitler probably shouldn’t be taken seriously. The left is so mindlessly committed to their radical, anti-American orthodoxy that they are missing an opportunity to self-diagnose the failures of the Biden-Harris agenda. Over the years, the left has utterly lost its mind, and yet Democrats refuse to see the light. We cannot overlook the insanity of expecting a different outcome for the “woke” agenda than a historic defeat. The 2024 election brought one of the most significant red waves in history, with the supposed fascists winning the Electoral College and the popular vote — and easily.

Should this even be surprising? Today’s Democrats believe feelings matter more than facts and that there are more than two genders. They openly embrace the same socialism and communism that has brutally failed everywhere in the world and killed more than 100 million people. They believe Israelis are terrorists and not Hamas. They believe in open borders, supporting tens of millions of undocumented immigrants — even if they are criminals — over law-abiding U.S. citizens, who voted for safety and security by voting for Trump.

The Democratic Party pretends inflation doesn’t exist (it does), that the Inflation Reduction Act actually reduced inflation (it didn’t), and Bidenomics makes our lives better (it doesn’t). Democrats pretend the Afghanistan withdrawal wasn’t an unmitigated disaster. The world is a better place in their feeble, feckless hands, despite proof to the contrary in the Middle East and Eastern Europe and the South China Sea and everywhere else. The world is on fire because of Democrats.

Democrats can’t even secure our own borders, let alone peace abroad, and American voters were not in the business of pretending any longer. Failure after failure, it is no shock that Democrats lost about 20 million votes between 2020 and 2024 — a 25 percent drop. The only surprise is that tens of millions of Americans continue to vote for Democrats.

The years ahead will expose the foolishness of stubbornly loyal Democrats. Returning to common sense means enacting common-sense policies that any good-faith American — even a Trump critic — can accept. No one wants a weak economy. No one wants lawlessness. No one wants transgenderism in elementary schools. No one wants illegal immigration unless you’re a left-wing nut who wants undocumented immigrants to become loyal Democrats one day but hilariously refuses to house them in their homes.

Trump’s win is a rejection of nonsense. It will result in a strong economy, mass deportation, toughness on crime, old-school American education, and a reversal of the wokeness that parents and students despise. It will strengthen allies like Israel and weaken enemies like Hamas or China. Come January, America will have a president who believes in traditional values and isn’t afraid to say it. We will have a president who actually wants to enforce the law.

 

Unless you’re a left-wing radical, you will support the mass deportation of criminals who are here illegally. Most Americans are fed up with the free ride given to undocumented immigrants at our expense — more generous than our struggling countrymen, including veterans. People want to address inflation, and most Americans are sick of the high cost of living under the Biden-Harris administration.

People believe in bringing peace back to the world, and most Americans don’t want their sons and daughters dying for ineffectual militarism. And people accept that there are only two genders — because most Americans put facts over feelings and want to get the mentally ill the help they so desperately need.

If you’re a radical leftist, the next four years will be intolerable. For left-wing crazies, the Trump administration will be a struggle, but it is a great victory for sanity. It is morning in America again.
