A Happier Thanksgiving

This could’ve been a grim Thanksgiving. Spent lamenting the further, faster decline of a glorious nation under re-empowered bad leadership. To the bluster of friends, relatives, and media types cheering her downfall. Many of them hostile to American traditions, beginning with the feast day they’re supposedly celebrating.

Thanksgiving history is tragedy to the Left. A group of white Christian zealots seeking religious expansion befriended some naïve Indians, who gave them enough food to survive a brutal winter, thus enabling their own racial colonization. How much better for them to have remained blissfully ignorant of corruptive modern advancements — like the wheel. (READ MORE from Lou Aguilar: The Night That Wrecked Hollywoke)

At least Leftists have made symbolic reparations for their Euro ancestors’ sin. These include idiotic land acknowledgments, removing the Indian beauty from Land O’Lakes butter product, and renaming the Washington Redskins the Washington Commanders. Yet the ungrateful savages rejected Democratic virtue signalling on Election Day. Exit polls showed 65 percent of Native Americans voted for the White Supremacist Trump and regressives who still want to sing Hail to the Redskins.

Which will make this Thanksgiving Day all the pleasanter. Our liberal intimates — whom we know would be gloating obnoxiously had the electoral outcome been different — will be glummer and quieter. Unlike them, we can be gallant and refrain from outright mockery, while enjoying their pain on the inside. That is if they show up at all, after being advised against it by their luminaries. Like Yale University child psychiatry fellow Doctor Amanda Calhoun.

“If you are going through a situation where you have family members or you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, that are against your livelihood, then it’s completely fine to not be around those people, and to tell them why,” Dr. Calhoun told MSNBC’s Joy Reid. “To say, ‘I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not going to be around you this holiday, I need to take some space for me.’”

So much of what is wrong with liberalism oozes from Calhoun’s screed, starting with the excess words. A normal person without a doctorate from Yale would just say, “If your friends or family voted for Trump, and against your values, you can avoid them and tell them why.” And no conservative would view a contrary vote as a personal attack to say, “You voted against me, and against my livelihood,” — whatever the hell that means. Or conclude with the cliché whimper, “I’m not going to be around you this holiday, I need to take some space for me.’”

Because for the likes of Calhoun, Joy Reid, and everyone on MSNBC, progressivism is a religion, and Donald Trump the anti-Christ who threatens their cult. Since they disbelieve in the true Christ, Thanksgiving has no meaning or value, other than as an archaic ritualistic gathering increasingly outside their comfort level, or “space.” Where the friends and family members that voted differently from them betrayed them.

But conservatives know there’s a God. And He just saved America from great darkness. While infanticide continues apace, although now absent Constitutional sanction, perversion and delusion are in retreat. And this Thanksgiving, we have many blessings to be thankful for, apart from the silence of the lefties.

Most, of course, revolve around the man whose historic victory against insurmountable obstacles brought us here — Donald J. Trump. Below, in chronological order, are some that merit my gratitude. The first may seem counterintuitive but to appropriately cite the Bible (Isaiah 55: 8-9), the Lord works in mysterious ways.

This Thanksgiving’s Good Fortune

Trump’s 2020 loss to Joe Biden. As disastrous as this was, people needed to experience the contrast between a visionary if boorish pro-American President backstabbed by his key personnel and a hapless, inept leftist fool with total media cover. They got an early glimpse with the catastrophic Afghan withdrawal then a final one with the two men’s one debate.

Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter. Even while Trump was still President, all social media platforms engaged in leftwing censorship, banning illiberal claimants including the New York Post on the factual Hunter laptop story, Trump himself, and anti-COVID-mandate medical professionals. Musk broke the conspiracy by buying Twitter and restoring free speech. Not coincidentally, to leftist screaming, he then joined forces with Trump.

The failed assassination of Trump. Trump literally dodged a bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania last summer by turning his head at just the right instant. Anyone but a radical leftist might consider this a miracle, and believe God had a greater plan for Trump and America. On November 5th, it began to unveil.

The Kamala Harris candidacy. All the Left’s horses and all the Left’s women couldn’t make a viable, credible candidate out of cackling, blathering Kamala. But, boy, did they try, even lauding her ridiculous spasmic running mate as a male role model and fabricating joy. With Twitter now X, and rightwing media ascendant, the American people saw through the illusion and voted for Trump. (READ MORE: Trump Victory Is the American Counter-Reformation)

The election of Donald Trump. Now, Trump is back. And for the first time since the election of Ronald Reagan, I feel America can be great again. And it will be a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. Good thing Uncle John won’t be there — I mean too bad.

“You destroyed a three-thousand-dollar television set tackling the guy,” Cork said.

“It was showing The View,” said Slade.
