Going into the primaries at the start of the year, I was certain Trump was the wrong choice.

I was certain that the Dems would rally around TDS and mount a response with Biden that would be unstoppable. That Trump wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut, and pick up where he left off in 2020. That the left would find ways to rig the vote again. The social media would put their fingers on the scales. That shenanigans would occur late into the evening. Water leaks... ballot dumps... ballots pulled from under tables.

I realized something this morning. Trump... is the first 3rd party candidate to win the White House in a very very very long time. Trump ran as a Republican... sure... but the leftward movement of the Democratic party, and Trump fully embracing the platform of the working man, the anti-war, the anti-establishment changed the landscape of this race.

Then Biden's mental health became more apparent and the Democrats, in a panic, yanked him off the ticket only to replace him with a candidate that was probably the WORST candidate to ever run on a party's ticket nationally. Kamala without a doubt is a fuc#ing moron. Just a trainwreck of a candidate that couldn't carry her water if it was in a teaspoon in a bucket.

This election is more than just Trump winning. It's a shift in the Republican party. A shift away from the Neo-Cons and Establishment. When Kamala touted the endorsement of Liz and Dick Cheney, you knew that the winds have most certainly been permanently changed. In one night Trump moved the needle in a very significant manner when it comes to the Black vote, the Hispanic vote and the Asian vote. He also woke up the youth in this country in a way that I didn't expect.

I have voted for 3rd party candidates in Presidential elections most of my voting life, and yesterday, after voting for Trump, I realize I did so again. Sure he's got an R next to his name, but it's a different R. An R that's more indicative of the party that Thomas Jefferson envisioned with his Anti-Federalists. I'm more hopeful now that we will actually get some real foundational change in how our government functions and operates.
There have been other bad ones. Dukakis and Mondale were bad
