Remember when the left told us that conservatives would riot and contest the legitimacy of the election if Clinton won? Right.

Remember just a few weeks ago (and really for the past year) when the media said the Republican Party was headed for a civil war? It was going the way of the dodo. It may never win another national election. How did that work out?
After a resounding election victory (President, Senate majority with at most two seats lost, big House majority with only six seats lost, and further governor and state house pick-ups) the GOP is in a position of power that it has not seen in decades, if ever. Finally, at least for the next two years, the GOP is in a position to make some real positive change in this country. The populist “wing” won the White House while the conservative wing won Congress. Hopefully the two can find common ground.
The Democrats on the other hand are in disarray. Their only real leader leaving office, no bench to speak of, the cloud of corruption hanging over them, and unpopular platforms. The fact is, without California and New York, the Democrats might not ever win another national election.
Does the Dem Party have a future;

And state legislatures:
I see a lot of red. Plus the GOP now controls 34 governorships, I believe.
Conservative media? WTF!? Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
The post-election blame game is absolutely hilarious. Of all the stupid excuses this takes the cake. The far-left and far-left media are far more to “blame” (I say credit) with Trump’s ascension, as is the “conservative” GOP establishment. Look in the mirror folks. To blame conservative media when Trump faced an absolute avalanche of negative coverage from the other side is absurd. It is called balance.
The political class, including President Obama and Hillary Clinton, has been very gracious and professional in the shocking aftermath of Trump’s election. The left-wing media and Democratic voting rabble rousers? Not so much. Apparently Soros funded MoveOn issued a call to action to stage protest marches.
Oh please, please, please make it happen!!! Nothing would be better for the country, IMHO, than to get rid of California! When conservatives call for secession (Texas anyone?) it’s treason. When leftists call for the same? Not so much. Anyway, this will never happen, at least not in our lifetime, but oh the joy and benefits it would bring.

Great article. The GOP has swept the election in stunning fashion, but needs to pay heed to these words. The election was not right vs left, it was the angry everyman vs the elites. Trump gets it but does the GOP Congress?
President Trump! Despite all predictions, all polling, Donald Trump is the next President of the United States, thank God! And he won in stunning, impressive fashion likely winning over 300 electoral votes. The country is angry, wants real change and an outsider to break up the DC cabal and drain the swamp. Now the hard work begins, but Trump struck the appropriate, humble, conciliatory tone in his acceptance speech last night.
The far-left media bomb-throwers have already started with the blame and divisiveness, but hopefully they will not win. Exhibit A among them is the despicable bigot Van Jones who of course blamed racism, as if this was entirely a referendum on Obama. Funny, but I thought Obama was elected twice and Hillary Clinton was on the ballot this time. Among the left’s whipping boys are: white racism, misogynists, the Russians, WikiLeaks, the FBI, and oh, I don’t know, probably voter suppression.
In reality, here is who the blame (or credit) lies with: Hillary Clinton, a very flawed, corrupt candidate; the DNC for propping her up; the corrupt left-wing media; the corrupt GOP establishment; President Obama for trying to govern as an imperial president; a bloated, inefficient, corrupt government bureaucracy. There are likely others whose names escape me right now, but the people are sick of being told what to do and think by a bunch of DC elites and Washington bureaucrats. The weight of Federal Government oppression has become overwhelming, and the folks are fighting back.
The battle for the future and soul of our country has just begun, but the election of Donald Trump and a Republican Congress is a good first step. There is much work to be done in the next two and four years.
Here is another voice from one of my favorite writers on The Federalist:

The left does it all the time. Ignoring borders, sanctuary cities, civil disobedience, obstructing commerce. Conservatives are far to polite and compliant. It is time to fight back.
When the left crams its agenda down our throat resistance is now required. Transgender bathrooms – ignore them, don’t pay the fine and sue the government for harassment. The same goes with contraception mandates, forcing businesses to cater to gay weddings, forcing Catholic hospitals to perform abortions, and allowing the EPA to tell landowners what they can or cannot do on their own land. I could go on and on.

I never have, and now I likely never will. It is not a company’s place to enforce its own PC, social justice agenda on me if it wants me to be a customer. I have made a point in recent years to cease doing business with companies run by leftists who are openly engaged in social engineering. Starbucks is gone from my life, as is Target, Sports Illustrated and much popular media and entertainment. There are others. I am considering doing the same with Apple and Google.
