OPINION: What I’m politically thankful for this Thanksgiving
In many respects, the thing for which I am most thankful this holiday season is how Donald Trump’s Grover Cleveland-like election victory is driving the usual suspects absolutely batty.
And why not? For the last eight years conservatives/Republicans/right-leaning voters have been demonized in the most ludicrous ways imaginable, so why shouldn’t they sit back for a bit and satiate themselves watching progressive meltdowns?
Here’s what I think will be most enjoyable about the present through 2028:
1. The pink/blue-haired nose-ring-wearing set will be very entertaining. Did you happen to catch this cadre of lily-white progressives engaging in a primal scream on the shore Lake Michigan? As Johnny Carson might say, “weird, wild stuff.”

Or what about these geniuses … with “strategies” to crush the Trump economy, pontifications about migrant detention “camps,” and impersonations of economists:

2. Teachers who indoctrinate will be easier to root out. Far-left “I’m-not-going-to-teach-but-preach-to-my-students” teachers just won’t be able to help themselves during the 47th presidency.
How many Maximiliano PerezesĀ are out there that we yet don’t know about? How many teachers feel like Ohio’s Danielle Mann but (for the time being) aren’t stupid enough to make a video of themselves advocating men wear blue bracelets so as to mark themselves “safe” in Trump’s America?
And so on:

The principal was made aware and immediately put the teacher on leave. pic.twitter.com/VUOUDyaKyg

3. Race-related incidents all will have one origin: Trump. Remember how Trump was the genesis for virtually anything race-related after his 2016 election? And how heĀ was to “blame” for the rise in anti-Asian sentiment beginning in 2020 … because he used terms like “China virus” and “Wuhan virus” for COVID-19 (which actually were common naming protocols until he became president)?
It’s already started in 2024 in, of all places, swanky Beverly Hills where inexplicably no one had a smartphone handy to record (alleged) racial slurs uttered by pro-Trump students, nor even to snap a single photo of (alleged) racial epithets scrawled on bathroom walls. What are the chances of that in 2024?? Next to zero.
But a fashion teacher/faculty advisor to the high school’s Black Student Union, along with several of her students, want us to take their word for it.
Expect (a lot) more of this in the next four years.
4. The mainstream media will resume practicing actual journalism again. Well, such that itĀ is.Ā So far, we’ve seen that reporters are incredibly concerned about the qualifications of Trump’s cabinet picks. Such is the stuff of legitimate debate, of course; however, four years ago qualifications weren’t that big a deal — it was all about identity-politics “firsts.”
The past administration gave us (clockwise) an assistant secretary of Health and Human Services who thinks he’s a woman, an openly gay transportation secretary who noted part of his “qualifications” was “liking trains,” a black and gay press secretary who can’t answer a single question without frantically sifting through a huge binder for a response, and a “non-binary” Department of Energy official who has an affinity for stealing women’s luggage.
Adding to my enjoyment is the fact that the previous eight years gave away the game for liberals and their media/Hollywood pals. The bogus “Russian collusion” narrative, the ridiculous impeachments, the January 6 narrative … this time Trump and his allies (like Elon Musk and his X social media platform) actually are prepared to do political battle against the nonsense.
Think the establishment, et. al. will learn?
Nah. As Major Powers lectured Gunnery Sgt. Highway in “Heartbreak Ridge,” they “can’t help it” — they’re just “too stupid, too prideful to change” … and “I’m gonna enjoy watching [them] fall.”
