The ramifications are staggering, tragic, and universal … and not just for the U.S.

Blue wave. Tsunami. Bloodbath. Armageddon. (If you trust the process and counting.)

I was never optimistic about the midterm results. And today we learned what many of us have long suspected: the bulk of the American citizenry, or non-citizenry, no longer possesses the morals or the knowledge required to keep a free, representative republic from collapsing into slothfulness, envy, chaos, and tyranny. The United States, once the lone supernova among nations, has now begun its transformation into a black dwarf.

The ramifications are staggering, tragic, and universal … and not just for the U.S. Those who celebrate this, whether at home or abroad, will soon realize that their glee was heinously misplaced.

There are many factors, of course, including massive demographic change, an anti-American educational system and media, and the consequent collapse in Judeo-Christian values and respect for the values and beliefs upon which this country was founded. The idea of limited government, incepted specifically to protect the unalienable rights granted to us by our Creator has been replaced by a desire for a big government to give us “free” stuff. Meaning paid for by others. There’s the immorality. And, of course, there was much hatred of Trump.

But the proximate cause could be COVID-19 and the government’s response to the Wuhan flu. Suddenly, we had mail-in voting, ballot-harvesting, drop boxes, and vote counting for days after “Election Day.” People stopped meeting, discussing, debating, and took to “social” media to hurl obscenities at each other.

Politics is the left’s religion. Government its one true God.........
