Donald Trump’s massive win for the highest office in the land shocked much of the world. Not only did Trump earn a second term, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris, but he won the popular vote as well, including securing both the Senate and House of Representatives (House to be determined, but likely) with republican majorities.
Record numbers of Americans showed up at the polling booths, and millions mailed their ballots in early. Seems to me that the greater number of Americans sensed just how important this election was, and that four more years of nation-destroying policies from the Biden administration could possibly be something that we might never recover from. For many Americans, the economy was their major concern; for others it was our open borders that allowed staggering numbers of unchecked immigration from the third world.

In the midst of all our nation’s social and economic woes, there were a plethora of black-pilled and fatalistic folks who urged us all to not vote, to not be part of a system that’s hopelessly ‘rigged’ where the final decision of all U.S. presidential elections is ‘fixed’. Voting, it’s argued, only provides the ‘illusion’ that one is making a choice, but in the end the final outcome is predetermined. But is that true in every election? Is that what the 2024 presidential election proved to be?
I can certainly understand why many Americans might feel this way, especially when one considers just how dishonest and internally corrupt the Democrat party is. The results of the 2020 presidential election raised more than enough concerns that a substantial amount of widespread voter fraud was involved to seat Joseph Biden in the Oval Office. There was every reason to think that an even greater level of voter fraud would occur in the 2024 presidential election since a lot more domestic and foreign policies were at stake, including the mess of on-going wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.
For the past four years, the democrats had engaged in brazen lawfare against their political opponents, something we had never previously experienced in this country – at least not to the degree that was waged against Trump. The democrats had reason to believe that if the election were lost, they themselves might be facing similar retaliatory lawfare efforts. In the midst of all this, the mood of the country had become so ugly and divisive that it’s easy to see why people would throw up their hands and give up, declaring it’s all a charade and that no one could be trusted to provide an accurate voter count that genuinely reflected the will of the people.
But none of what the black-pilled folks predicted actually took place. Not even a little bit of it. Trump won so decisively that the mainstream media couldn’t do much more than sadly read the election results, blame Kamala’s weak campaign efforts, and cry bitterly over it. This is not to say that the democrats didn’t engage in any voter fraud, but only that it was not sizable enough to thwart a Trump election victory.
