Despite the poor advice of public personas across legacy media, there is zero need to worry that Thanksgiving 2024 can’t be a blessed gathering with friends and family.
Much hand-wringing, kvetching, and awful advice have been proffered by everyone from the leftist cabal on The View, the belligerent Joy Ried, or the completely trans-obsessed Jen Psaki. Yet despite their insistence on moon-barking these women (who surprisingly saw many more women vote for President Trump in every state nationwide than they had expected) should not determine the joy you get to enjoy this year.
So don’t let them.
And here’s a few keys to keeping the balance in check.
BE GENUINELY GRATEFUL FOR AN INARGUABLY CLEAN ELECTION. Given the possibility of the genuine amount of corruption that had been invoked in 2020, attempted again in 2021, and plagued the not-so-red-wave in 2022, there may have been legitimate reasons to believe that something akin to that would breakout in 2024. Despite the fact that the sore losers of this cycle laughed, ridiculed, mocked and litigated many of us who had those concerns in 2020, the Whatley/Trump leadership at the GOP, the non-partisan work of America 1st Legal, and the advanced effort of the Trump campaign specifically saw to it that in more than 200 instances of irregularities—immediate litigation occurred, judges made rulings, and the cheating was stopped. Yes, up through this past weekend, some wicked cheaters in Pennsylvania were still trying. But even the left-dominate state’s Supreme Court in Pennsylvania had to admit—based on the law—that Trump’s win and coattails the ballot dominated the race, and the victory was legitimate.
TELL THE SOUR-FACED THAT ALL WILL BE WELL. Sometimes a despondent loser in a contest cannot move forward—or so they want to make people believe. Oddly enough, when Clinton won his second term when Obama defeated McCain and Romney, and when Biden shockingly woke up the morning after being down millions of votes when all went to sleep and to awaken with a lead of some forty thousand votes, many of us found a way to go on. Did we wish for different outcomes? You bet. Did we run to the backyard to primal scream our way into Thanksgiving - most of us did not. Oddly god-fearing, family-loving, pro-America voters found a way to internalize the loss and redouble our fortitude to do better the next time. It builds character. But the sun still shines, and life will go on. And it will again. The meltdown lunacy of reality deniers like AOC, Psaki, and Ried is just a projection. They are despondent. They are simply lacking the dignity of reliance on God or even inner confidence to believe or know that tomorrow is coming.
THE NEW TEAM WILL SURPRISE MANY OF THEM. As the debate has shifted from Trump “being Hitler” to “just kidding about all of that,” expect them to focus on the impossible-to-stop cabinet appointments that Trump 2.0 already has working. The minor knee-scrape of the Gaetz nod aside, this cabinet is picking up steam; they are young, aggressive, and diverse, and many of them are already tackling in the private sector what they will now have the power to do something about. Instant accountability at CIA, DOJ, HHS, FDA, IRS, FBI, NIH, and DOD, will produce a realignment across the whole of government in historic fashion. Reports of lifelong bureaucrats in these organizations packing up boxes and heading for the exits are reasons to be optimistic. Your bitter-clinging friends and family won’t be able to see it initially. This is simply because they’re not used to seeing the government actually do anything. They will start to the minute Trump’s hand comes off the Bible on day one, minute one of his second term. Thousands of deregulatory executive actions undoing the abuses of Biden-the-interloper will already be written and ready to be signed. Cabinet heads committed to implementing America First priorities across the whole government will have firings prepared and structural changes ready to launch. And a Senate and Congress with slight but needed majorities will be jacked and ready to do the will of the people. The changes will be swift, the effects unexpected, and outcomes improved.
HELP IS ON THE WAY—WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT. The temptation is going to be great for empathetic and compassionate people to feel the need to hold hands and wallow in the hysterics of their pain-filled anxiety that is being loudly yelled at them from the two news channels that are about to be sold. Expect Rachel Maddow to throw hissy after hissy about her cut in pay. Similarly to the owners of her failed radio network back in the day, CNN and MSNBC share holders have discovered that lying to their audience 24/7 doesn’t help the bottom line. And while they did nothing but lie about Trump in the entirety of this election cycle, accountability about their brands of “journalism” is being dictated more by market demand than anything else. But even for the soon-to-be out-of-work staff at the most left-leaning companies, Trump’s policies will help. To the most hardened and disappointed Harris supporter—her gas prices will go down. To the angry, bitter abortion advocate—her groceries will be cheaper. To the angriest AOC-like crybaby in the universe—their ability to start a business and run it successfully will open up ten times what it is now. Tariffs won’t kill consumption but will stimulate companies to move back to the USA and create jobs. A more peaceful world won’t abide the Biden/Harris faux indignation rage about how dangerous Putin is—but it will stop him from invading neighbors. And shutting down the mullahs’ ability to get wealthy in Iran will stave off the requirement of more women globally being forced into hijabs.
We do not have to determine whether our friends and family are thankful this Thanksgiving. We can only control our own choices.
All we can do is hug them, tell them we love them, and grin a deep smile of gratitude, knowing the delusion they’ve been coerced into believing is nowhere near the truth. Good won this round. Help is on the way. The outcomes will surprise and impress. And everyone will benefit—whether they like it or not.
See?
So much to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
