Election Day: Let’s Do This Thing
Kurt Schlichter
This is it. It’s time. We’ve been waiting four years for this chance to take back our country, and tomorrow it happens. This is history in the making, and it is an election people will be reading about in books for the next few centuries. Hopefully, they won’t be reading it in a chapter entitled “The End of America.” Over the last couple of weeks, I wrote columns on the Golden Age that would follow the election of Trump and the unspeakable nightmare that would follow the election of Kamala. That’s the reality, that’s the choice: triumph or tragedy. We are at a fork in the road. Civilizations have come to these forks as long as there have been civilizations, and eventually, every civilization takes the wrong one. We can only hope that America’s time is not yet up.
It goes without saying that we have to go all out to win this. If you can vote early and have not done so, do it today. Now. Don’t wait till tomorrow. Get it done. If you can only vote tomorrow, go vote early. Get it done, get it out of the way. Who knows what surprises lurk in the next few hours? Fire, flood, plague of frogs – nothing is off the table. We are in the Land of the Black Swans.
The normality we boomers and Gen Xers grew up with is gone. Back in our prime, an election was not an existential event. I was with a buddy from college this weekend, and we agreed that we came of age at the pinnacle of America in the 80s and 90s. Back then, the future was bright. We didn’t dread it. We didn’t fear it. We were excited about it. But for the last 25 years or so, we have had nothing but crises – 9/11, Iraq, the Wall Street crash, COVID, and, of course, Donald Trump. But Donald Trump was not the phenomenon. The backlash against a failed elite was the phenomenon. He was just the face of it. If it weren’t Donald Trump, it would be someone else. He was the avatar of an exhausted America tired of the antics of its garbage ruling class and the arrogant aggregation of power by its members that coincided with their absolute refusal to be held accountable for their many, many failures.
