I admit it: I was shocked when Donald Trump won the Presidency. I was sure that the Progressives had succeeded by indoctrinating the masses to fully embrace the politically correct agenda.
What I didn't anticipate was the visceral response rejecting it.
It wasn't a principled, patriotic, logical response to the last eight years of thwarting the rule of law. It was revenge, facilitated by Democrats who thought they were ensuring a Hillary win.
By voting for who they considered the weakest, most ludicrous Republican candidate in the primaries, Liberals granted an opportunist the platform to sell his brand of populism to the masses.
Instead of countering the Obama administration's repeated violations of the rule of law with a conservative Constitutionalist, the GOP settled for a demagogue with an ego big enough to draw angry voters in like a rare earth magnet.
Question: What's worse than spending the last eight years fighting the RINO and Democratic Establishment with limited grassroots commitment?
Answer: Waging a war against a whole new phalanx of Republicans who think we've won a conservative victory, plus the devoted Socialists thwarted by both Hillary and the GOP.
We've merely traded one oligarch for another and lost the high ground in the battle.
