The Great American Comeback: Trump and the GOP’s 2024 Sweep

Not even two weeks out of President Donald Trump’s triumphant reelection, it still feels like a dream. We’ve all been through scores of elections, and have been told that each one was the most important of our generation, and yet we can never really know something that significant until after the fact. This time, it was different. We knew in the small hours of November 6th that something remarkable had happened, and it would be the election that would change everything.

We knew Trump’s election in 2016 was a turning point simply because of the improbability of it all. A man who was the ultimate insider became an outsider when he embraced the forgotten men and women of this country.

What we couldn’t know, was the reckless panic that consumed the Democrats would also break the spell and awaken Americans to the fraud of malevolence that had been destroying our lives. Americans were punched in the face by a smug, vile, and hate-ravaged Democratic Party bent on punishing us for Trump. Their malignant narcissism was out in the open and couldn’t be denied. The swamp didn’t even bother to hide its hatred and disdain for the average American and for the country itself.

And now we are in the aftermath of an election unlike any other. Trump not only won again, but this week it was learned that the Republicans will maintain control of the House of Representatives. We delivered the whole of government to Trump and the popular vote. The astounding strength of Trump’s victory feels almost like a national apology being made to the man; a sense of everybody as a whole apologizing for what he and his family were subjected to. The Biden-Harris administration had been an obscene catastrophe of chaos and ruin for the nation and we rewarded and thanked Trump for not giving up on us. After everything we’ve been through, it was a statement like no other.

But there is also a unique sense of relief many of you are experiencing. There’s been a strange absence of what we now recognize as dread as we endured assaults on our culture, our values, and our economic security. While Trump, his family, and associates have suffered greatly, do not forget what all of us have been through, and it has been plenty.

In some fashion, every day our own government categorized us as being the equivalent of the most horrible human beings ever to be on this planet. We were irredeemable bigots, white supremacist terrorists, semi-fascist threats to democracy, and most recently from President Joe Biden himself, garbage. This kind of abuse takes a toll no matter who you are. We have been living with the equivalent of domestic violence en masse because agents of the state believed only they mattered. Their abuse was meant to make you retreat. It was meant to make you slink away. It was meant for you to disappear. Donald Trump has helped expose and is determined to confront and defeat a massive bureaucratic system that intended to rip away our humanity and our own sense of self-worth.

Combine this with a parallel track of policies that were destroying our ability to live our lives in the simplest of ways: The economy making every day a struggle. The pressure of not knowing if you can provide for your family. The desperation that can set in when you are unsure if you can pay your rent the next month, or whether or not you’ll have enough gas in your car to get to your job or get the kids to school.

This just touches the surface of what our bureaucratic establishment did to millions of individual Americans every day. And yet, human beings endure and adapt and we rarely even notice chronic problems because we get used to them. Until it’s lifted and gone. Only then do we really understand what has happened and who the culprits really are.

This is partly why there is such joy and appreciation for Trump. Of course, we want to vote for someone who’s going to lift us up instead of beat us down, but when that person overcomes every imagined obstacle, even attempted murder, to help us. That shifts our understanding about what’s possible in this country. It also restores our faith in humanity and what it really means to be an American.
So yes, we are feeling a remarkable shift in ourselves because we have defeated those who were working furiously to crush, defame, and inculcate us with fear.

They failed, Trump won, and why it can sound like a cliché to say that we are the real winners, we literally are as each and every one of us has had our futures returned.

But the victories for our country and families will not be delivered by leprechauns. It will again be achieved by the hard work of the very same people who worked on Trump’s campaign, those who came to support him like Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and all of us by keeping our eyes on the ball. In other words, our work has just begun.

Trump understands he has only four years to get as much done as possible, and he’s out of the gate like a bullet train. At a rapid pace, he has been announcing his picks for his cabinet, those who will lead the consequential agencies of our government. There have been some surprises, but his intent is clear: Trump is not back in Washington to play games, he’s there to ignite the renaissance of our country. And you can’t do that with the usual suspects. Recognizing this he is choosing people he can trust, who can get the job done, and who are capable of putting country before self.

With Trump, after everything done to us, we have deliberately elected the ultimate disrupter to the presidency. Expect the unexpected, and enjoy the fact that Trump and his team are serious about getting America back where she belongs. To all of this, including the surprises and ups and downs, I say yes, Mr. President, we will take a side of extra salty fries with that order of freedom (just don’t tell Bobby Kennedy).

It is good to be able to appreciate this great victory of November 5th — for President Trump and for the right thinking , right living , decent, honorable citizens of this Nation.And at the same time it will be wise to keep in mind the adversity caused by the Democrats during the past four years. As was mentioned in the article — ” … policies that were destroying the ability to live our lives in the simplest of ways. The economy:making everyday a struggle. The pressure of not knowing if you can provide for your family…” And then the relief mentioned by having our faith in humanity restored and what it means to be an American as a result of this great victory on November 5th One other thing in the article “But the victories for our Country and families will not be delivered by leprechauns.” Giving that some thought it may be good if leprechauns could be of some help in this situation ,in this work needed to make America great ,to restore the greatness of this Country. As far as I can determine Leprechauns are probably very conservative in their ideology — I do believe they favor a system that is as free of government interference as possible. Well done with this article Tammy. It is appreciated.

Excellent piece, and it certainly feels good to be back on track after the falsified 2020 election, as well as the “lawfair” attacks that followed. Now, it is time to make the changes that our party has been mandated to do for our great country.

Based on past performance, I’m wondering when the GOP starts squandering the opportunity the electorate gave them! What’s that about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?

I hope people realize if Trump lost this election that not only would American liberties be a thing of the past but that we would be on a speed train to a One World Order. I know Trump realizes it. That’s why he fought so hard to keep this election from being stolen. Trump’s win is perhaps the most historic event in the history of human civilization.
