This is the only political piece I put on my site during the election. The reason I'm porting it over here is twofold:
- While pretty much every pundit in the Central Galaxy figured Trump didn't have a snowball's chance in hell, there actually was one small group who thought otherwise. I was lucky enough to be a part of it.
- For Trump supporters, the first video below is outstanding. It's masterfully done and deserves to be shared.
The reason I'm putting this in the Political Humor section is because, quite simply, Trump made a joke out of every talking head on the planet. Every pundit, every pollster, every 'expert', every left-wing writer, almost every right-wing writer, every commenter on every left-wing site, every newscaster, every op-ed writer, every opinion-maker, every every.
Well, almost every every.
There actually was one small, hard-core group who had a pretty good idea of what was going down:
Fans of Ann Coulter.
Myself, I blushingly admit I've followed her every word for over a decade. I even have a few articles on this site where she's highlighted. That's her in the preview pic below, over on the right. Watch her expression when she makes her prediction and the liberal audience breaks out in amused and derisive laughter.
She just smiles knowingly.
She maintained for a year that as long as Trump stayed true to himself and stayed on message, he could very well pull it off. Like Ann, I never bought that the average American would turn from Trump to Clinton over some ancient misdeed on Trump's part that the media blew all out of proportion. Like Ann, I figured Americans had become a lot more politically savvy in the past decade and saw through the spin the liberal media was producing. Or, perhaps more to the point, they simply ignored it.
So, without further ado, allow me to present what I'm casually labeling The Video Of The Year.
As for the many, many (many) reasons Mrs. Clinton lost, well, the list is almost endless. First, it was racism, because all white Americans are secretly white supremacists and were just getting back at Obama by way of Trump. Then it turned out all American males are secretly devout misogynists and just couldn't stand the thought of a female president.
Then it was Clinton aide Huma Abedin's fault. Then it was FBI director James Comey's fault. Then Russian President Vladimir Putin's fault. Then-
Did I mention the list is almost endless?
But now everyone agrees that it was 'fake news' that did her in. One or two "Hillary Clinton Found Running Secret Child Pornography Ring In Basement" story and that was enough to sway America.
Well, almost everyone believes that.
The author of this wonderful piece is Paul Joseph Watson.
See y'all in 2020 for Round 2.
