The Empire Strikes Back, But MAGA Will Strike Harder

Never bet against Donald Trump or his supporters.

By Roger Kimball
November 14, 2020

I’ve written many times that I thought Donald Trump would win the 2020 election. The question always was whether he would win it beyond the margin of fraud and litigation.

Did he? It’s touch and go. Television networks and even some foreign heads of state tell us Joe Biden won the election. The electors have yet to be appointed and meet to vote. Still, the forces arrayed against Trump are formidable. It’s not just, as Joe Biden bragged, that the Democrats had put together “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” That does appear to have been the case.

But if Donald Trump loses, it won’t only be because of that “extensive and inclusive” organization. Perhaps more important is the ambient jelly in which that organization has operated. I mean the eructations of the swamp, or to give it a more cinematic name, “The Empire.”

Children in the United States are (or at least they used to be) told that in America, anyone can become president.

Of course, that has never really been true. At any given time, there are plenty of people who, for various reasons, could never become president. But the pleasing story did name a sort of half-truth that was also an ideal, an ideal that revolved around the effort to maintain a society that rewarded talent, ambition, and hard work more than it valued wealth, connections, or pedigree.

Donald Trump put that ideal to the test. The test failed.

By all logic and reason, Trump "should" have won by a landslide.   Considering who and what Trump was running against.... radical fascist totalitarianism, globalism, anti-capitalism, and economy-destroying socialism (communism with a smiley face)....

without the sudden cessation of counting the votes on election night by five leftist-run states and the influx of millions of illegal "ballots", Trump should have, and would have, won easily.  And we always said he would win, sans massive voter fraud.   We also predicted that this election would outdo the 2000 election re: the FUBAR factor.

The question now is... will "the courts" make things right?   I have even less faith in "the courts" to do right than I have in government alphabet agencies right now.   But millions are praying that things will be made right, at least for another four years.....and I do have faith in God.   I just don't know whether it is time for God to abandon America for its evil ways.   Time will tell.
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

Its clear now the rats are seeking to Californicate the entire nation.

As a lifelong resident of this once great state it has gradually become apparent elections in this state have been fixed for 20 or 30 years. Election results are as predictable as the sunrise - every tax initiative on the ballot passes, every proposed bond issuance in this overtaxed state. Jungle primaries, we don't even have a republican to vote for many races, just two rats. The rats have a supermajority in the legislature. The only way the republicans have a shot at the governor's mansion now is if we run a faux republican who also happens to be a movie star.

What have the courts done here to level the playing field? Nothing, because they're hyperpartisan as well. No wonder the national rat party looks at California and licks their chops. The nation is 90% on its way to being California writ large.

Divine intervention is about all we have left at this point. Perhaps we're already under judgment after all.

No doubt... but I truly believe that Trump's election has given us a reprieve from that judgment.... which will ultimately destroy this nation.   I hope to "not be here" when that final destruction by the evil left occurs.   But for now.... I think America may have been gifted with a few more years to contemplate and to .... like roamer mentioned... repent.

Look even if Biden manages to get sworn in, his administration will be permanently shrouded in scandal as evidence of Biden’s family corruption and of details of how the election was stolen come to light. As evidence mounts, the media won’t be able to support a counter to the emerging narrative that the new American president is a crook.

Unfortunately being 'shrouded in scandal' doesn't mean what it used to. Not if they can still shove their agenda down our throats anyway.

The radical left couldn't care less how much scandal their regime is ""shrouded"" in.   Especially since half of the Americans will never even hear about it.    And at this point, I fear the feckless GOP will just go along to get along, per usual.... and let them have it.

You have to admit, Joe Biden's remark about putting together the largest fraud organization is absolutely true!

And... he is still NOT MY PRESIDENT and never will be!  God Bless America and God Bless Donald Trump and his family!!

Which is why the Democrats decided that the best way to beat Trump was with an old White Guy, that enough centrist voters would be comfortable with.   That may be a victory, but it's a short-lived one, which may ultimately lead to their downfall.

Trump won't let that happen.  The Base will stay energized thanks to Trump.    He was far from repudiated, and if anything,  has strengthened the grip of "Trumpism" over the GOP,  now this movement is bigger than one man.  The results of the House races bears this out.  I expect 2022 to be the Mother of All Red Waves.

I disagree @aligncare   The media will bury everything.  Even Fox is part of it.  And if it gets too hot for Biden, he's out and Harris is in.

Biden cannot be sworn in.

@Right_in_Virginia

And Harris does NOT have to be sworn in because she was elected to be the VP under Biden,NOT elected to be President. For her to be sworn in,Biden would have to first be sworn in,and then her.

IF/when Biden steps down for medical reasons,AFAICT,the DNC is free to just appoint anybody they want to appoint as President.

Maybe Hillary's dream will come true?

You're kinda soundin' like that jafo guy now. You know... "Mr. Trump was gonna win 40 states".

The democrat-communists (now with an emphasis on "communists") have two years ahead to solidify their grasp on power and further refine their underground "election apparatus" (that worked for them this time).

In order to survive and defeat the RL .... our side has to become just as pro-active, defense-wise, as the Israelis have had to become.... against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.   The only question I have is.... do we (our side) have what that takes?

Lol....bombs isn't what will be required.   Wouldn't even help.   It will take something much harder to acquire (for the gutless wonders on our side)....

honor, integrity, honesty, determination and the will to act against one's enemies to preserve one's own future freedom.
