Total Repudiation

They were wrong.

The MSM, the Republican elite and Hollywood elite were all wrong about the presidential election.  Despite the fact that they acted as if they possessed all the knowledge about what was right for the country, what would happen with the vote and how they could guarantee a better union, not one of them was proven right.  In fact, each of them in turn was proven horribly wrong.

The MSM is the most hypocritical of all.  Thanks to Wikileaks revelations, we learned that the MSM was actively operating behind the scenes to assist Cankles in the debates.  At least thirty so-called journalists emailed Cankles' campaign with offers of assistance.  Donna Brazile, who reminded the world that as a Christian she knows persecution (I don't recall her having been in the Colosseum...), was shown to have sent Cankles questions ahead of debates.  Independent organizations have rated the coverage by the MSM outlets as 91% hostile toward Mr. Trump.  The moderators of the first two debates were pilloried for their offensive conduct.  Yet, implicit in its criticism was the notion that it, above all, knew what was best for America and even rigged polls to show the unaware public that Cankles was supposedly leading, when in fact she was trailing horribly and pictures of overflowing Trump rallies mocked the silent and mostly unattended Cankles rallies.  People claiming to be journalists even outed themselves and claimed a moral responsibility to actively campaign against Trump in their attempt at journalism.

I called out the MSM several times for its Nazi-like attempt to side with one party to the detriment not only of the other party but also of the country.  I was proven to be correct.  Lest anyone think I'm out on a limb all by myself, check out this article:

The RNC also shares in the repudiation.  The Bush family, notably, withdrew its support from Mr. Trump.  John Kasich also walked away from him, as did other high-ranking Republicans.  George Will, one of my favorite columnists, withdrew from the Republican party when Mr. Trump became its nominee.  The underlying message from the RNC is that it knew better than the electorate did what the country needed, and the country certainly didn't need Donald Trump.  Unbelievably, despite this selfless assistance from both the MSM and the RNC, the country rejected the free advice.  Now the RNC is scrambling to catch up, trying to burnish its image and do away with the bad publicity garnered from not supporting a successful candidate that ran under its banner and pulled off the biggest upset in political history without much help from the party.

At least with the MSM and the RNC, there is an attempt at sounding and being intelligent, no matter how Machiavellian the machinations.  Hollywood, on the other hand, was pure motion masquerading as, well, I'm not sure what.  The unremitting anger, wailing and gnashing of teeth, calling for revolution is just so...infantile.  It's as if they think they're manning the barricades in Les Miserables.  The man hasn't even been sworn in yet and yet American is headed down a racist, sexist, xenophobic path.  Taran Killam, that noted sociologist who doubled as a mildly talented ensemble player on Saturday Night Live, suggested rather inartfully that anyone living in a rural area was stupid, because most of the rural parts of the country voted for Mr. Trump.  Katy Perry is beside herself, Amy Schumer is, thankfully, quiet for once, Jessica Chastain has lost her mind, Gabrielle Union is trying for an Oscar, Jamie Lee Curtis is trying to network with her niece and Sophia Bush is working on her sociology degree with bad English.  Lady Gaga wants people to fight, although it's unclear whom they are to fight, and Mark Ruffalo is trying to cast himself as Vladimir Lenin by referring to his brothers and sisters and encouraging them to lift their heads up.

In other words, hyperbole never had it so good.

What the idiots in Hollywood did, on a vastly different level, was the same thing as the MSM and the RNC did, albeit on a different level:  It treated the great silent majority of Americans as stupid and uninformed, unable to formulate an opinion without their assistance.  The fact of the matter is, many of us had formed an opinion over the last eight years of elitist social engineering and decided we were tired of it.  The revolution, now called for by Hollywood's vanguard of political activism, took place over the course of eight years, and the elites were clueless about it.  For the only revolutions that can happen are ones that they approve, they begin, they champion.  If a revolution counters their beliefs, it's completely ignored.

They were repudiated, loudly, by the silent majority.

Let that be a lesson.
