Election Post-Mortem and Democrat Despair Part I

Uncategorized | 0 comments

The following article, Election Post-Mortem and Democrat Despair Part I, was first published on The Black Sphere.

Donald Trump went John Wyck on Democrats, like they killed his dog. And Trump’s decimation of the Party of Lynching has major implications for Democrats.

At this point, if establishment Republicans don’t jump on the Trump train, then they deserve to get steamrolled with the Democrats. Because, Trump signaled without a doubt that he and MAGA will set the course for what defines Republican from now on. Frankly, this course-correction is long overdue.

Needless to say, Trump crushed in every nook and cranny of every state; Harris gained nowhere. Watch as Jake Tapper gets schooled on just how bad things were for Harris and the Democrats:

Harry Enten explained the historic ramifications of Trump’s victory:

As on commenter on this video put it, “Enjoy the new normal!” Because this vote is the true America and not what Democrats and their minions pretend it to be.

Even in the wake of the election and these data points, Leftists throughout the media industrial complex lament Trump’s win as a “vote for hate”. I’ve learned to happily accept the labels of Democrats, so play along with me.

I hate the following:

  • $5 per gallon gasoline
  • 50+ percent inflation
  • The invasion of illegals
  • Welfare for illegals over taxpaying citizens
  • The rise in crime, particularly from illegals
  • The government lying about the FBI statistics on the rise in crime
  • Fighting endless, useless wars, particularly in Ukraine
  • The dual justice system
  • LGBTQ nonsense around what defines a woman
  • Men playing women’s sports

And that’s just a few of the things that I hate and voted against. But as long as that list is, the list of things I vote for is even longer.

The election had major implications.

Just like in 2016, when everybody said the election of Trump would mean doom for the markets and the economy, and the market surged. It was no different this time, as the market jumped 1200 points in a single day, the day after the election.

To put this in perspective, the only times the DOW hit these kind of numbers was during Biden’s first year in office when he lived on the muscle-memory of the Trump economy. Further, the largest single-day Dow Jones gain during Biden’s term (after his first year) was a rise of approximately 701 points on June 2, 2023. Post-2024 Presidential Election, the market spoke.

Looking back, here is a bit more information on the DOW under Trump.

During Donald Trump’s presidency, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) saw several large gains, breaking the 1,000-point mark multiple times, especially during periods of recovery or major policy announcements. While exact tallies are scarce, records show several instances where the Dow surged over 1,000 points due to events like policy adjustments and reactions to market conditions. For example, in March 2020, as the U.S. confronted the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, stimulus measures and Fed interventions led to significant daily gains, with the DJIA seeing a record-breaking 2,100-point gain on March 24, 2020, in response to legislative moves for pandemic relief.

The DOW’s performance during Trump’s tenure overall:

The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw an overall gain of around 56%-57% during Donald Trump’s presidency, from January 20, 2017, to January 20, 2021, before the COVID-19 pandemic’s severe impacts. While the Dow hovered around 19,732 when Trump took office, it closed near 30,930 as his term ended. This impressive increase is largely attributed to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and deregulation policies, which boosted corporate earnings and market optimism prior to the pandemic in early 2020.

The gains were especially notable in the context of sustained job growth and a low unemployment rate until the pandemic, which then caused a sharp, temporary drop in the market. Post-pandemic recovery further fueled stock increases as the economy began to stabilize in late 2020. However, critics note that Trump inherited a strong economy from Obama, which set a foundation for the gains seen initially during Trump’s presidency.

As did the people, the Market spoke, as well. Loudly and clearly.
