Alicia
Colon’s column on the occasion of President Trump’s birthday is, as usual,
thoughtful. Her title is “When Losing an Election Makes You Lose Your Mind” –
and it will probably resonate with Cleveland Tea Party people. Here are a few
extracts:
The presidential election of
2016 was an entirely different ball game because the man who won was a
completely different animal.
A billionaire nonpolitician was
elected who was also very dangerous to the settled bureaucratic elite in both
parties because he is uncontrollable by the special interests that rule
Congress. The wrath and derangement that spilled forth after the election and
continues still is unprecedented yet not completely surprising.
Although it made absolutely no
sense, the hype for a Hillary Clinton presidency was relentless and
overpoweringly waged in all sources, including the media, the Internet and
social networks.
There were very few critics
asking the important question --- why this woman?
She carried more baggage than
an airport porter yet only one candidate (Trump) chose to call her a criminal.
. . .
It is clear that the Democrat
Party has become the amoral party of progressives aka Marxists and not the one
my family grew up with. There are no Zell Millers or like-minded thinkers left
here.
. . .
If you're a conservative who
voted for Donald Trump even though he wasn't your first choice, you may have
ended up ostracized by the Democrats in your family or have ended up writing
off a number of friends who've expressed contempt for your choice. It's a very
wise policy not to discuss politics or religion but hard to do when your career
is about politics.
I've been called a moron, a
deplorable, unhinged, and worse by those whom I once believed were reasonable
but have now lost their minds. I choose not to return that vitriol for those I
care for and hope that one day they will come to their senses and realize the
sky is not falling and our POTUS may succeed in making America great again.
He will do this in spite of all
the mainstream media, leftwing pundits, social media, the entire Democrat
Party, RINOs, Hollywood celebrities and Soros minions spending his billions
waging phony protests against him.
I will continue to pray for
President Trump's success and I encourage the rest of the deplorables to wish
him well.
Happy Birthday, Mr. President!
