What does a modern-day revolution look like? It looks like November 8th. A day where the average men and women in the heart land said enough is enough. Some 60 million of them went to the voting booths and cast their vote against further socialism, political correctness, elected officials thinking they were above the law, political hacks that used their positions to further their wealth and power, against elected representatives that no longer represent the people who elected them, and a revolt against those in power that belittled law enforcement and military that keep us safe.
It was a revolt against powerful companies and tainted news media. It was a revolt against big government that continually lie to us.
Those 60,000,000 men and women ignored the stacked polls saying they couldn’t win. They ignored their union leaders that had always counted on them to stay in line and vote as directed. They ignored the liberal media that said it was all over and a vote for anyone other than Clinton was a waste of time.
These people said we don’t want more non-vetted Muslims, we don’t want more illegals crossing our open borders. We don’t want safe cities or undocumented residents sucking our education and health care systems dry. We don’t want government telling us what we have to buy, whether insurance or light bulbs. We want the burdensome regulations removed so our companies can come back to this country and we can work. We are sick of politicians taking lush vacations on us and voting themselves raises and excessive benefits while we struggle to feed our kids and pay the mortgage. We don’t like all the money going to illegals for rent, child care, food, and even cell phones. We don’t want our government sending our tax money to foreign governments, some our sworn enemies, while our vets can’t get medical care, and we have homeless families that are citizens.
We don’t like being called deplorable, and irredeemable. We don’t like being told that we don’t matter because we cling to our guns and bibles. We don’t like being ignored and treated as though we don’t matter because we live in that part of the country that the wealthy consider just a vast “fly over” area. And, we don’t like being told that government knows better how we should live than we do.
Sixty million people said that even if they didn’t like the alternates, they were willing to take a chance on candidates that were not ingrained in the vast political machinery of our government and political parties. They no longer were willing to accept being lied to, manipulated and treated like they didn’t matter.
So, who are those millions of people who revolted. They are us and we are them. And while the political analysts, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and others stood slack-jawed we revolted and the world took note.
