If we had known he wanted a new car that badly, we all would have chipped in and bought him one.

I have argued more than once that if the left had not stolen the 2020 election they would have been done with Donald Trump by now and the deep state’s business as usual would have been able to continue without a problem. Now John Conlin at the American Thinker is pointing out all the ways that the steal of the election in 2020 was a blessing in disguise for the country and a disaster to those trying to destroy it.

The blatant politicization of the DoJ, FBI, CIA, IRS, military, judiciary, etc. — really almost every aspect of the federal government — has been laid bare for all to see. For many of these folks, the concept of equal justice under the law is something they discarded long ago. Many states are as bad or worse.

For years, DEI has been destroying institutions and companies across the board. That is ending now.

Institutions of supposed “higher” education have revealed themselves to be little more than dumbing-down indoctrination centers. Much of public K-12 education has been shown to be the same. The school choice movement is now unstoppable.

All of these things had been proceeding quietly since the Obama years and even before, but now the lid has been blown off them all and the American people are seeing things as they are. Conlin again

These institutions were this way before, but this period has removed all doubt. And before one can begin to address an illness, one must first accept the reality of the disease. We have done that. 

The path forward won’t be a straight one. It will probably involve a lot of “2 steps forward, 1 step back,” but we have bottomed out. The future might look far different than today, but history will show this was the high water mark for socialism, communism, big government, gender insanity, and a whole lot more.

And we owe this awakening to the “loss” of a stolen election, which is turning out to be a wonderous win.

I’m surprised that he didn’t mention what was to me one of the biggest changes. The MSM insisting and demanding that people believe that Joe Biden was completely fine. Was it not just four months ago that they were telling Americans that if you believed he wasn’t sharp as a knife that you were spreading disinformation? They’re very public exposure as a pack of liars before even the most credulous fool is the straw that broke the back of their power.

I suspect if the left knew what it knew now it might have done things different but hey they did get 4 years of good stealing.

It may be that even seeing and knowing all this the American people may still willingly walk into the hell of a Kamala presidency, but if they do it will be with eyes wide open rather than having tyranny quietly imposed on them.

All of these were only made possible by the steal. It has turned out to be a blessing in disguise, although I admit, it was a pretty good disguise.

Do remember you are there to fuddle him. From the way some of you young fiends talk, anyone would suppose it was our job to teach!

C. S. Lewis The Screwtape Letters Letter #1

In the days when I was doing Computer Technical Support (which is why this blog is DaTechGuy blog and why I’m DaTechGuy online) one of the things I ran into a lot were people who focused on a particular problem while losing sight of what their actual goal was. You could fix a bug but if you aren’t addressing what the actual goal was you weren’t doing the customer much good. I always established what they were trying to do and if there was a better way of doing it suggest it as I fixed the bug so that the underlying problem, the goal, could be achieved.

Even at my current location which is as far as you can get from tech support when I was occasionally given a new person to train on a simple process like picking items ordered, I never started there. I took them to every part of the warehouse from the receiving docks where the product came in, to the receivers to processed and recorded it, to the group putting to the stations where they were being shipped to the lines where the shipped items were put in their respective bins and back to the docks. The idea was to make people understand that while the task seemed mundane it was a vital cog that worked with all the others to the ultimate goal of getting a product ordered by a customer to their door.

One of the best attributes of Donald Trump is one he shares with both Ron DeSantis who I supported in the primaries, is that the sees things in this way and the entire Springfield business is an excellent example of how this works.

The media/left reacted with glee at Trump bringing up the of pets in Springfield and spent days bashing him over it.

This put the entire countries’ focus on Springfield and while the left was decrying memes showing Trump protecting cats and dogs and stuff like this hilarious image:

The reality was that it became excellent fodder for doing two things, first showing the left for what is it to wit:

And this is classic:

All that is fun but is misses the bottom line which is that now everybody is talking about how the Biden Administration dumped tens of thousand of foreign nationals on a small town doubling it’s population with no support for the town in coping with it.

That’s a subject the left doesn’t want to discuss but it’s the cat and dog business that gave the opening to J.D. Vance when the media tried to play “Gotcha” with him on it:

Or as Ace of Spade put it after posting a NY Times story which included (emphasis Ace):

Mr. Trump’s debate remarks have themselves become a meme on the left since Tuesday, as musical remixes of his comments have ping-ponged around Instagram, TikTok and other social platforms, mocking the pet-eating claims while also prolonging their stay in the news cycle.

The attention has been unwelcome in Springfield, where tensions over immigration have flared since an 11-year-old boy was killed last year when a Haitian immigrant driving without a valid license crashed his minivan into a school bus.

Which caused him to quip

“They’re killing 11-year-old boys, not cats” is not the winning message you think it is, New York Times.

Kurt Schlichter nailed it:

And if Trump ends up going to Springfield and highlights the issue it will be spiking the ball.

Update: JD Vance again:

and again

3rd Doctor:: You went back to change history, but you didn’t change anything. You became a part of it.
Monia: What are you talking about?
3rd Doctor: If Styles didn’t cause that explosion, somebody else did.
Anat: Well, obviously, but who? Shura!
3rd Doctor: Isn’t that exactly what he would have done? One last suicidal attempt to carry out his orders?
Monia: It’s possible, I suppose.
3rd Doctor: You’re trapped in a temporal paradox! Styles didn’t cause that explosion and start the wars. You did it yourselves.

RFK & Trump 8/23/24 Youtube screen capture

Yesterday there was a moment in the 2024 election that a lot of people never thought they’d see

And spoke to the crowd as to why he was there and had decided to join team Trump

The most incredible thing about the RFK JR. Endorsement of Donald Trump yesterday is that it was completely preventable by the Democrat party and all those who are now freaking out over this development.

Consider, at the time when RFK Jr. announced he was seeking the Democrat nomination the people who are actually running this country today (we still don’t know who that is do we) knew that Joe Biden was no longer (if he was ever) fit to hold office. They knew that five minutes in New Hampshire would reveal this, so they did all they could to keep Kennedy off the Democrat ballot, likely because they knew that while a Democrat, he would insist on actually being president.

So they did all they could to keep him off the Democrat ballot until Kennedy was forced to run as an independent, thus giving people who hated both Trump and Biden an alternative.

Even then they treated him horrible, despite the history of assassination in the Kennedy family they refused to give him secret service protection only yielding when Trump, having narrowly avoided an assassin’s bullet publicly called them out on it

When they could no longer hide Biden’s decline it was an even better situation for Democrats because while people really didn’t like Vice President Kamala Harris they didn’t hate her the way some hated Trump.

But that wasn’t enough, they did all they could to keep RFK off the ballot in states and hamper his campaign in every way possible, he addressed this in his speech withdrawing from the race:

And thus here we are now with Trump and RFK Jr. talking all the wind out of Kamala’s sails. Kamala faked having a special guest at her convention speech while Trump had a real one.

But consider for a moment what would have happened if the Democrat party had allowed RFK JR. to run in the Democrat primaries?

The Joe Biden is sharp and healthy canard would have been exposed a year early and Democrats would have had a real primary, Kennedy having a big head start would have likely won or at the very least if he lost endorsed whoever beat him in the primaries.

Just imagine the differences:

  • Think of what the Democrat convention would have looked like if RFK Jr. rather than Kamala had been on that stage
  • Imagine the whole “Return of Camelot” theme they MSM would have gone with
  • Imagine a person who could actually separate himself from the Joe Biden
  • Imagine RFK Jr. facing Trump in debates instead of Biden or Kamala
  • And best of all imagine the media not being exposed for the Biden cover-up

If I’m the Democrat party chair, I’d have liked my odds in November against Trump head to head with RFK as the nominee this fall, and if nothing else I’d like my odds a whole lot better than my odds with Kamala.

That could have been the conversation today instead it’s Donald Trump campaigning with RFK and addressing the issues that Kennedy cares about.

The real irony in the quandary that the Democrats find themselves in today is that it was completely preventable and only driven by the bad, dishonest and dishonorable decisions that they choose to make.

I’m having a hard time not laughing.

Update: Talk about mistakes RFK rebuffed by Kamala

Following my first discussion with President Trump, I all tried, unsuccessfully, to open similar discussions with Vice President Harris. Vice President Harris declined to meet or even to speak with me.

All it might have taken was one meeting to prevent this:

Like I said, they did this to themselves.

I’ll have a longer “Under the Fedora” tomorrow on the subject of Biden’s withdrawal but please keep this in mind over the next 120 days because as of this moment that same media that gaslit you for months and turned on a dime to push Biden out of this race will be back to treating the left with kid gloves and advancing and parroting whatever false narratives the Democrats choose to advance without question.
