Yep, well said and correct. And many of us watched on in complete disbelief that people were actually eager to give up their rights and so short-sided as to think they would be returned as easily as they were taken. As a life long democrat, 2020 was the year I took a hard right turn and I’m never looking back.

Don't forget that Trump inexplicably strongly condemned Georgia Governor Brian Kemp in April when Kemp boldly reopened Georgia and ended the lock down. Trump's response to Georgia's reopening was indistinguishable from Dr. Fauci's response.

This is exactly what happened. If you don't believe it, you haven't been paying attention. He listened to his cabinet. Who in reality, hated him. He trusted Pence. Pence set him up. And the rest is history.

Jordan, Sharine & MrLanders: Excellent commentary (well written) and exactly right. I believe all these events are meant to wake us up to to the importance of what is going on right in front of us, as well as many unsavory things behind the scenes that have now been revealed, including who people really are and what lengths they are willing to go to hide the truth or destroy individuals and institutions. These aren’t just the fringes, but now at the core of our society.

My whole life, I’ve naively believed in our institutions and fellow Americans, thinking everyone is desiring a better America, though they may have different ideas about the best way to get there. However, after the past 10 months with Covid and the election, and 4 yrs with Trump exposing so much, those illusions are shattered. I question everything, everyone and especially every motive.

Like you, I believe connecting with the Creator is the only way to navigate the future. As a Christian, warnings about the “End Times” being near never seemed relevant to me because it seemed so far in the future and I never believed I would experience it. But after doing some research in just the past few weeks, I was shocked at how wrong I was. It’s here! We’re in it, where everything seems upside down, where evil is praised and goodness is mocked and reviled.

We just have to figure out, as you say, how to navigate it all and protect ourselves, our loved ones and those like-minded. It occurred to me that this is what the Apostles faced after the death of Christ. Though publicly reviled and isolated for their beliefs, they still fulfilled their missions by preaching throughout the world, while being hunted and persecuted.

My solace when I’m fearful about the coming years, is that there are many indications that exciting things will be happening, too. Several well-reasoned timelines indicate 2024 as the end of tribulations and the Second Coming soon after. That may be incorrect, but it’s helping me make better use of my time rather than feeling depressed or demoralized, though I still have those times. It’s hard not to. I believe things will get even harder—-how could they not with the forces now in power—-so we better get prepared for the many battles ahead.

I don't believe I've seen this summed up any more articulately and precisely than this. And I also concur with Sharine Borslien's reaction below. We are in a world of hurt as a people. It's strange to see hundreds of millions of human beings each individually feeling so alone and helpless. Every single institution and founding document we thought we could rely on for strength has been neutered. I can only hope that in the coming days, the much-heralded Biblical "Kraken" will emerge that will blow the Fauci-Birx-PENCE doctrine into oblivion. This, for me, is no longer about a particular President. They didn't just steal his momentum and election, they stole our shared American soul.

“He is not a threat to global capitalism, but the people who elected him president are. In order to teach these people a lesson, GloboCap needs to make an example of Trump.” https://consentfactory.org/2020/09/20/the-war-on-populism-the-final-act/

The lesson-teaching for us deplorables started with the lockdowns in March.

great analysis, I had the same conclusion! A leader should never allow for singular voices to take over the narrative in this type of situations.

No, election fraud ended the Trump presidency.

With 20 20 hindsight I agree that Mike Pence was the wrong choice for vice president. One of the most important outcomes of a Trump presidency was that it exposed the globalist agenda and those that support it. It is important that the states reform election laws. Voter id needs to be part of that reformation. Most importantly the candidates for elected office should be vetted. Each sitting lawmaker that sided with Pence such as Lindsey Graham should be primaried even to the point of voting for a democrat to pry them out.

To everyone claiming that the election was stolen.

This appeared on a post on Fox News as a rebuttal to the accusation.

Tes, we stole the election. And it was *so easy* for the Secret Cabal who really controls your country.

All they had to do was organise all the postal workers, poll workers and observers, the designers of the voting machines and the software engineers involved. Then came the potentially tricky bit - they had to get all the state Governors involved, both Republican and Democrat, on board, and finally square things with the new people on the Supreme Court.

Finally, they had to get Pencey on board. Mike Pence, who had stuck with Trump all the way. Ah, well. These people are GOOD.

In case you are wondering, Soros funded all this, and it was run on Hillary's server.

Best head for the hills immediately, before that China puppet, Biden, gets in.

Hi Sam. Congratulations! You win the internet idiot of the month award for claiming "381,480 US citizens have died this year". Without even backing up your preposterous conspiracy theories!

If only someone rational would have advised Trump at the beginning to never let public health officials be in charge of anything. If it were up to public health, we would all have been mandated to continuously wear masks in public to control illnesses 20, 30, or more years ago.

Great article! The covid will forever be remembered as being the main proponent of Trump losing the election. Fauci was too entrenched and Trump went along too far with these people. This is the gift that keeps on giving to the CCP. Trump could have won the war against the Media and Democrats but the 3rd front was a flanking attack that no defensive position could hold.

Steve Bannon would have never let this happen.

I was dismayed at the choice of Pence as vp at the time. The choice was rationalized by many pundits. What do they think now?

Expand full comment

Absolutely. Trump should NEVER have gone along with these little trolls. The science and sense was up theAss from the beginning. But it was a set-up all along, so it would have been hard to avoid under any circumstances. Hard to win, when the game is rigged.
