Who Would Have Thought?

By Dennis Brent Melby

• We’d get to the point where a large portion of our society sees political violence as acceptable?
• You’d be told to allow boys in the girls' bathroom at school?
• You should be ashamed of your religion?
• Political assassinations were OK?
• Adult men dressed as Drag performers would be encouraged to perform for kids at public libraries?
• When you complain that things you need at the store are locked up YOU’RE the bad gal?

Has the world turned upside down?

No, traditional Democrats and mainstream Republicans and Independents agree. Most folks are still normal, the majority are just afraid of acknowledging what’s right for fear of being cancelled and ridiculed by the vocal minority, the press and the far-left leadership of the majority party.

The majority will come back to their senses. We’ve just seen it. A few Democrats stepped up and settled the government shutdown that was harming our whole country, just eight of them but that’s all it took. As time passes, prosperity returns, peace continues to break out and wokeism retreats, normalcy will return. Count on it. 

We’ve seen it before. When the media was in Jimmy Carter’s camp, the general public, the voters, knew things had gone south – and the very popular Ronald Reagan was elected, then reelected. After years of Bidenomics and open borders they returned to Trump. Will the next nominee be a Mamdani, or Ocasio Cortez? They’re already jockeying for the spot.

America wants progress, results, and a continued return to normalcy from extremism. Isn’t that what we deserve?
