Donald Trump is officially the next President of the United States of America!
The Victory
After a hard fought cross country campaign, the American people officially elected Donald J Trump as President of the United States. He won with 279 electoral college votes compared to Hillary Clinton's 228. Despite pitting him against 17 Republican opponents (in contrast to her 4) he demolished the competition and came out victorious at the Republican National Convention. Once it was clear he was the nominee, the media pulled out all stops to paint him as the next Hitler; however a majority of the American people weren't foolish enough to be swindled by these fear mongering shysters in their shirt and tie pundit outfits. The harder they spun the narrative, the more and more paranoid they acted in their demeanor, the more and more they were rejected by the independent thinking people who were willing to move on and focus on the actual issues affecting everyday American citizens.
The Failure of Mainstream Media
There is much tension in this country still, as noted by the protests being held in mostly Democrat areas which, as you can tell from the electorate map above, has become the radical political fringe of the 2016 election. Most of this outrage is fueled by the propagandists and social engineers in the media industrial complex spinning a web of deception. It's quite an amazing feat how they go about being the saviors, while at the same time being the instigators, of racial, sexual and religious division in the country. Political correctness and fear mongering has gone mad allowing the spin doctors at places like CNN to create a false reality where the sky is falling, everybody hates everybody and everybody else is a victim with sour grapes. The script writers at these news stations seem to have a hidden agenda to make everybody feel uncomfortable around their neighbors, friends and family.
When I speak of mainstream media, I don't just mean news media but entertainment media in general; they are the social engineers on a mission to make everybody fat, stupid, poor, imprisoned, in debt, disenfranchised, enslaved and further demoralized. Every television sitcom appears to be about a mentally handicapped father, the promiscuous wife, the sassy black diva, the drug addicted son, the prostitute daughter, the drunken redneck, the black dope pusher, the Latino hit man or the meth cooking chemistry teacher. Following these common tropes, character arcs and cliches, you end up with a populace that sees the world through a series of negative stereotypes, up to the point where people themselves become that stereotype. People who keep living in this pop culture fantasy land, unable to cope with the real world and get along with their neighbors, is what is really holding people back from their full potential.
While the public decries non-politically correct gaffes, often clipped out of context, there is a global communist inspired movement seeking to ensnare the people under a corporate world government with their own court system unaccountable to the people. It is unnerving that these monopolistic entities are able to dominate radio, print, television and internet platforms with large media hubs distributing the same agenda driven chicken-scratch to their hundreds, possibly thousands, of smaller company owned networks and further bird feed it to their consumers regardless of facts or ethics. Desperate to cling onto their remaining low information voters, they bang the drums of race politics and political cliches while the current sitting president keeps pushing for a Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty which could potentially lead to the United States losing even more high paying jobs than they already have in the past 30 years.
The Failure of Education
The government subsidized nanny state, sometimes referred to as college, whether for profit or non-profit, has done really well to screw the recent generations of growing professionals. The students are sold on a fantasy to become the next Mark Zuckerberg or the next Steve Jobs, but are only able to find a job with a guy named Steve who is here to teach you how to work the deep fryer. Too many educated young lads are stuck in a Taco Bell economy while holding a degree and some of them have a hard time finding serious work even two or three years down the road. What is worse are these government subsidized diploma mills, backed by the US taxpayer, who is willing to give anyone with a pulse a loan on an education of their dreams.
The Chicago teachers union is another example of education gone mad; these teachers are the highest paid in the country, their graduation rates are abysmal and they're always on strike. Not only that, the union has become so out of control that it's become a challenge to fire bad teachers. Inappropriate conduct in the classroom is downplayed by the teacher's union and most of these sexually deviant schmucks are paid to watch TV all day when it becomes apparent that they're not safe around minors. How and why it got that way, I have no clue, and hopefully they've adopted some basic morals since I last heard about it. However, that might be a big red flag on the account of Chicago having such a high rating of violent crime and youth strung out on drugs.
When I was watching the electoral map live the other night, I noticed a trend with all the blue areas generally being spots with a large college or university presence, especially in Florida's districts. It is becoming self evident that radical liberalism is seeping from these organizations. The introduction of secluded free speech zones and college safe spaces is stunting emotional and intellectual growth and is setting up a passive generation that will be more willing to accept a communist inspired nanny state instead of a free and open society. Soon, questioning of the leadership of future American governing class might be out of the question, lest their overlord professors exile them from their classes and still charge them for each semester without the pleasure of transferable credits. This opens up the student body to being crushed for dissent while molding the mind of their peers.
The Economy
Let's face it; the United States long ago began selling off their manufacturing industry and replacing it with a so-called service and finances industry while offering loans to other countries. I've seen many companies going bankrupt, laying off employees or shutting their doors thanks to the trickle up economic policies put forth by the monetary engineers of the past few decades. Where once sat a pool supplies store, now sits a check cashing place. A building that once stood as a farmer's market is now a thrift store. The gym around the corner has become a dollar store. Auto title loan places are on multiple corners of the busiest intersections in town. Mechanic shops are shut down and just sitting there like an eyesore. Some formerly well to do car dealerships are now large, empty parking lots with an empty central hub where homeless people go to park their shopping carts and set up their plastic tents. Blockbuster is closed because their rental rates and late fee policies sucked and they failed to adapt to the growing digital market, and now nobody seems to want to rent that property.
I used to complain about how hard it was to get ahead in a Bush economy, but I feel sorry for those who are growing up in this Obama era. The wars in the middle east have cost our country dearly, and future generations aren't going to have as prosperous an outlook as the ones who came before unless somebody comes up with a miracle. Sure, they can raise the debt ceiling or manipulate interest rates, but that just prolongs the collapse and may possibly lead to hyperinflation and an everlasting decline in the quality of living standards. Socialist style programs such as Social Security may not be around soon, especially as younger generations get ready to retire, and ObamaCare is bankrupting the health insurance industry as we speak. These health insurance bailouts? They're not bailed out by monetary magicians who wave a magic wand and make them disappear.
It's all good though, more bailouts! These deals are guaranteed by the United States government. What does that mean? These deals are guaranteed by the hard working tax paying citizen who, regardless of consent, will pay for it via the hidden taxation called inflation. These slack jawed politicos could never win an election if they told you they were going to raise your taxes, but there are other hidden mechanisms to get a sucker to pay it forward. Doing a little research and following the money is an enlightening act of self education as one slowly spots the patterns of monetary parasitism affecting all of the "classes" of today's society. If you're not a mega billionaire whom already bought off your own team of politicians, fuck the serfs and good luck making those interest payments on your used Toyota.
The European banking crisis currently taking place will soon be affecting the United States as well. As much as their problems will become ours too, we the people can only focus on fixing our industries at home so we don't all become homeless and living in squalor on the land our forefathers conquered. We've treated China like an annexed slave state for so long, forgetting that we actually have to go to work and make money before we're unable to compete and afford their cheaply made goods they export to us. Also, if we can't cut Mexico a break on their Federal Reserve loans, we're going to have a serious humanitarian crisis that no stupid wall will be able to insulate us from.
We're in a tight spot. Can anybody fix it? Many of these things should've been fixed years ago but apparently it's easier to just collapse a country into a financial black hole and downgrade oneself to 3rd world status. I don't think Trump, Hillary or Sanders will be able to fix it, but don't let hope go.
The Wall...
You're going to build a fucking wall? Are you serious? Then again, I suppose this could be good for jobs as we've got 94 million Americans not in the work force and probably no longer eligible for unemployment insurance or food stamps. In the process of mining rock to build these bricks for said wall, I wonder if they can engineer some new fresh water rivers in their place to relieve some of these drought stricken areas. If the global warming conspiracy is true, building these water ways would be an excellent way to counteract the alleged rise of ocean levels and redistribute the water to counties where it is needed most. Humans are supposedly the masters of their own domain; if they're able to figure out how to engineer a 2000+ mile wall, like China, I believe they can engineer 2000+ miles of new water sources for their people at the same time. Is it plausible?
When it comes to construction and environmental engineering though, I'm just an arm chair expert; I don't know what it takes. We've got many intelligent young college graduates with nothing better to do though and I really feel like somebody would be able to take my very basic idea and make something amazing of it. Without clean, reliable drinking water, you're nothing, you're an endangered species, you're heading for extinction and a wall alone won't wet your palette. Surely, if the ocean is projected to swallow us alive, we better make sure we've at least got some potable water to consume.
Reaching Out to Liberals
Despite the absolute meltdown of the present day Democrat party, I recognize and am proud of the role they've played throughout the years. We need to team up together to bust up monopolies and keep our Constitutional civil liberties and protect our Bill of Rights. Both parties have sold us down a fucking river in respects to crony capitalism and government favors for rich assholes who already own everything, hopefully they know they're sitting on a throne of swords. Don't let the sycophantic harpies of the mainstream media demoralize you for being a human being and don't let stuck up "party loyalists" attack you for your independent thoughts when it comes time to stop towing the party line. If we've survived the war of 1812, I think we'll be just fine tomorrow.
Starting out as the party of the KKK and eventually becoming the party of the first black president is quite an accomplishment which signifies the power of the progressive movement. From women getting the right to vote to women running for president, that's a big leap for civil liberties and signifies that anybody can do it. The spirit of America has always been pushing toward all people created equal with unalienable rights - the same "unalienable" rights that are being trampled on by administrations of both parties. We all need to ease up on the tension of our differences and aim for specific objectives in the betterment of government as well as the betterment of mankind. Fix our stupid prison system, banking system, media system, etc and bring sanity back.
Closing Statements
I delayed writing this article but hopefully it can ease the tensions felt over this ridiculous two year period. If you are able to, please reach out to former friends and family whom you may have fallen out with over this stupid political bread and circus show, see if you can mend your ties and make amends. Take care and keep hope alive, it's not the end of the world yet.
