Aftermath: November 4, 2026

 

So, I am not ashamed to admit this song made me start sobbing this morning. It comes as great comfort and reassurance after such a shitty election day yesterday. I guess I now understand some of how the wailing leftists felt when Trump was elected in 2016. I thought screaming and crying in the streets was silly then, but I understand the anguish and the sense of teetering on the brink of hopelessness and disaster. I am there, grieving for myself, my family, my state, and my country.

Late last night and this morning I see hardworking, dedicated, principled legislators - several I consider friends - fall short of re-election, replaced by snakes and shills. Only one was re-elected, and only one new one emerged from the bloody field.

I see good and honest candidates, who battled with integrity and authenticity, wiped from the political landscape that needs them, in favor of the unqualified, the socialists, and the liars, who join the ranks of incumbent liars and thieves of the same party. Except in several cases, the newly elected are more dangerous, more cleverly demonic than their predecessors, and certainly more damaging to our state and our nation that any time in recent history (maybe ever). And, depending where else you are, the communist | jihadist cancer spreads, faster and more lethal.

Dark days lie ahead for our state and our republic. Yes, ours is a republic, not a democracy. Fuck democracy; for too long, it's been used as a weapon against us, in a clever game of misleading definitions - a game designed by the chief deceiver, Satan, played expertly by his silver-tongued tokens we call politicians, and cheered on by the blissfully ignorant forest of trees who Keep. Electing. Axes.
