Dear Dems, We're Just Better Than You

Don’t look now, but the Trump administration has done more to curb waste, secure the border, and get the ship of state on the right course in the past two weeks than Joe Biden had ever done in four years. The slew of executive orders to get the government back on track, trim the fat, excise the cancers, and bring back overall common sense and sanity has been refreshing. Yet, the best news to date is the outcome of this trade war with Canada and Mexico. 

We won. The tariffs were issued, counter-tariffs were hurled back, and Trump took the victory lap in 36 hours. Canada’s eunuch prime minister, Justin Trudeau, beat his chest as if he were a top dog, and then he took a call with Trump. Liberal America is contending with a familiar cycle: whine about a Trump policy, hope it hurts his supporters, try to cast a narrative to chaos under Trump, and then only to have the president emerge totally victorious within hours. Unlike Biden, Trump moves fast and with purpose.  

On his flanks, the Department of Government Efficiency, helmed by Elon Musk and his allies, has taken a katana to the waste and insanity that's infested the capital. They’re putting useless government workers on leave, gaining access to their systems, nixing leases for government offices that should have ended eons ego, and preparing to expose the levels of corruption and incompetence taxpayers have been subsidizing. The Department of Education is next to suffer a haircut. 

Most federal law enforcement agencies have deportation powers on immigration. Soon, local law enforcement, contingent on the agreement signed with the Department of Homeland Security, will have the same powers. Most states, red states, will sign onto this measure so the deportation force will be a massive federal-state patchwork from which illegal aliens can no longer hide; we’re already rounding up thousands of them. 

Promises were made, and thus far, they’re being kept. Democrats are shell-shocked seeing a government in action, securing the border, protecting communities, and no longer propping up these third-world s**thole countries. The outrage is blessedly contained to the DC suburbs. Outside of it, no one cares that government workers have anxiety about this, that, or the other. These coddled workers can either come back to the office or quit. It’s that simple, and all their concerns are things working people have endured for generations. No one cares, folks.

As of now, we’re just better than the Democrats. We have better people, better policies, and better messaging. The left is adrift and rudderless, incapable of cobbling together a message that can animate the left-wing base. This issue arises when your public policy positions are garbage. There’s a reason why Trump and the GOP are a multiracial working-class party and the Democrats are not. Our people are better than the overwhelmingly left-wing, white, wealthy, and overly educated psychopaths that dominate the Democratic Party. There’s also not enough of them to win a national election, and their ethos and demeanor are decidedly unwelcoming, illiberal, and insane.  

Eventually, Democrats will get their act together. But, for now, take a victory lap.  

Enjoy the moment.
