Donald Trump has resumed his role as Leader of the American people in a devastating loss for the Kamala Harris. Her Kumbaya Joy campaign after Biden's protracted abdication coupled with the wars in Ukraine, inflation, and emigration left the Democratic Vice President little time to combat the GOP leader's headstart. The defections of Latinos and Black males to the Orange Messiah nailed shut the coffin and we wake on a sunny morning in New York with clouds on the horizon, as the Republicans control the White House, Supreme Court, the Senate, and perhaps the House of Representatives.
Yesterday I sat outside 387 and thought about Mrs. Harris winning the election, suspecting the worst. The worst has come to roost. Life will go on, knowing the GOP will come after Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, the EPA, censorship of media ad mauseum.
Trump's victory is easily by a quote attributed to HL Mencken, an American author and social critic.
"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.", which according to Wikipedia was not found verbatim in his published works, so the source and original form of this expression are not known with certainty. Likely a nearly verbatim paraphrase of: "No one in this world, so far as I know ... has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.
And so we go into the future.
