Notes
CHAPTER ONE
Trump: The Great Orange Hope
Until June 16, 2015, every conservative felt four things:
1. We’re losing.
2. The fight wasn’t fair—it was over before it began, and the rules were
rigged.
3. Our allies have abandoned us.
4. This loss is permanent. We’re not getting it back.
Plug in any issue and it works: abortion, gay marriage, transgender
bathrooms, immigration, trade, Press 1 for English, drug legalization, criminal
law, the Iraq War, and on and on.
By 2012, Obama’s 2008 position on gay marriage, as “the union between a
man and a woman,”1 had become the vicious Klan position, a transformation
unparalleled in the physical universe.
Fifty years ago, American traitor Bradley Manning would have been
executed within a week. Instead, taxpayers are footing the bill for his sexual
reassignment surgery.
In the 2008 presidential race, every single Democrat but one opposed
driver’s licenses for illegal aliens2—Hillary, Barack Obama, John Edwards, and
Joe Biden. By 2012 illegal aliens could get a driver’s license in forty-nine states,
as a result of Obama’s “executive amnesty.” The only holdout was Nebraska—
and the ACLU was suing Nebraska.
The mayor of Los Angeles brags that more than two hundred languages are
spoken in his city.3 A majority of the residents speak a language other than
English at home.4 Fifty years ago, even Democrats would have said that’s
insane. Today, Republicans are afraid to criticize it.5
In 2012, the most attractive candidate Republicans had run for president in
three decades lost in a blowout defeat to President Obama, a feckless incumbent
who wrecked health care and whose foreign policies had resulted in Islamic
lunatics murdering the American ambassador in Benghazi less than two months
before the election. There was no way to minimize what a disaster Mitt
Romney’s loss was. Looking ahead to possible 2016 presidential candidates, it
was gun-to-the-mouth time.
It’s just been wave after wave hitting the bow. Americans were huddled on
the battleship Missouri, having surrendered everything they believe in, hoping it
would all go away.
Is it really any wonder that when a space capsule crashed to earth and Donald
J. Trump stepped out, he was given a warm welcome?
Trump is the first hope Americans have had in a very long time that it may
not be over yet. Perhaps the country isn’t finished. Maybe we could begin to
reverse our losses. And then, many years from now, when we have our country
back, we will join the little girls in pink party dresses and be appalled by a
presidential candidate who calls Rosie O’Donnell a “fat pig” and sends out
juvenile tweets at midnight.
But not yet, not until Trump ends the orderly transition of America from the
greatest nation in history into some pathetic, third-rate, also-ran, multicultural
mess. Until the bleeding has stopped, there’s nothing Trump can do that won’t
be forgiven. Except change his immigration policies.
Even liberals know that Trump is the only impediment to their destruction of
America. In May 2016, Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet let out a war
whoop to his fellow liberals, proclaiming total victory. “The culture wars,” he
said, “are over; they lost, we won.” With conservatives standing there, asking the
burglar if we could keep our underwear, Tushnet said the left should be
merciless, citing LGBT activists as exemplars of the “hard-line approach.” He
reminded liberals that Justice Anthony Kennedy was irrelevant now that Justice
Antonin Scalia was dead, saying: “fuck Anthony Kennedy.” Finally, he proposed
that liberals draw up a list of Supreme Court decisions targeted for reversal.
(Topping Hillary’s list is District of Columbia v. Heller, which would effectively
repeal the Second Amendment.)
But at the end of the piece, Tushnet concluded: “Of course all bets are off if
Donald Trump becomes President.”6
