Join, or Die News 11/7/24: A Thorough Victory
What a thorough victory.
Election night 2024 was over in just hours. In 2020, election streams went on for days as chaos surrounding mass mail-in ballots ensued. It was one of the most thorough victories in recent memory. Republicans took the Presidency and the Senate, and they will take the House. For the first time since G.W. Bush took the White House in 2004, a Republican won the popular vote.
With all that, what can detractors whine about? Many Americans don’t understand the reason behind the electoral college system. It exists because America’s founders weren’t too crazy about a democracy. They understood the potential dangers of a mob rule situation. So, they put checks in place, including the Electoral College. In 2016, when Trump won the election and lost the popular vote, there was a collective meltdown over the unfairness of it all. Most Americans wanted Hillary! Well, what are you going to say now?
There are so many things to say today. Yesterday was a moment to collect my thoughts as I sat in the woods all day deer hunting. November 5, 2024, represented a break from the establishment and a complete repudiation of the system. Americans are fed up.
After the resounding win, the media meltdown began. They were appalled that so many picked the collapse of democracy and freedom, and they chose the installment of fascism over our sacred system. This is, obviously, a lie. The dying corporate media has yet to sit down and listen to an internal monologue as to why this happened. It’s the same reason their networks are dying; normal people are tired of being lectured and blatantly lied to. This was a national mandate.
Ordinary people who are hurting from economic collapse, constant wars, government overreach, censorship, and government spending have decided to reject the continuation of 2000s-era politics. They rejected Obama’s grand visions for America with its elite political collapse and drive for progressivism.
Now, let’s head over and see what the media says about this! With TDS still rampant in our society, we should probably check in on our patients as well.
Trump getting elected doesn’t mean anything unless he follows through. From a Libertarian perspective, it is just satisfying to watch the establishment regime take a massive L. The American people rejected their garbage, watching them weaponize the government to go after an opposing candidate. Maybe we can break from this gigantic, bloated blob that squanders our national resources. Maybe we can push back against censorship on social media and truly focus on our problems. Trump didn’t do a lot of what he promised last time, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens going forward.
For now, I find solace in the idea that America-at-large rejected the broken system
📰📰News & Commentary
📺📺We all knew The View was going to be epic.
Yesterday morning, The View was trending on X. It wasn’t trending because serious viewers were waiting to hear their favorite hosts respond to the election. Conservatives, Libertarians, and anti-media types alike were ready to watch the meltdown—and what a meltdown it was.
The women on the panel looked despondent and exhausted. Whoopi Goldberg was tearful. The group was indignant, as they could not understand how this could happen! How could the American people reject this candidate who meets all the right criteria?
Sunn Hostin was “so hopeful that a mixed-race woman married to a Jewish guy could be elected president of this country. And I think it had nothing to do with policy. I think this was a referendum of cultural resentment in this country.”
Once again, it “had nothing to do with policy.” It was all bout “cultural resentment.” That’s why Kamala Harris got smoked. Because the people who voted for Trump are bigoted and evil, the media can’t get out of their way. The whole establishment media complex is on its deathbed. The reason Kamala was rejected, well, bigots.
The disconnect to claim it “had nothing to do with policy” directly represents how the media helped destroy Kamala’s candidacy. They told us anyone supporting Trump is a fascist, racist, misogynist, and whatever else. Americans can’t afford gas, food, or rent. There aren’t any jobs. We are on the brink of a global conflict. We fork over billions to foreign nations while letting immigrants flood our borders, but the reason why Trump won is because they rejected Kamala Harris for her intersectionality. Unreal, and they wonder why they lost.
Not all of their takes were terrible. A somber Joy Behar gave a take centered on the idea that “this is what the people wanted,” and while she disagreed, this is how the system works. Alyssa Farah Griffin stated there were lessons to be learned, and many Americans feel abandoned by “the powerful, the elite,” who “only care about themselves and their power.”
Somehow, the panel used the moment to brag about Kamala Harris, who lost by an epic landslide, praising her for putting a campaign together in two months. That’s a lot easier when you have the entire corporate media complex campaigning for you, along with the wealthiest political donation machine in the world.
According to Goldberg, she “ran a flawless campaign” and “kicked his butt all over the country over the course of those two months.” The greatest enemy to Kamala’s campaign was the candidate herself. She could not handle lengthy interviews and anything beyond a toss-up softball question. Harris bombed on all policy fronts, praising the Biden Administration as a resounding success. Her campaign focused entirely on demonizing her political opponent and offered very little substance.
The panel was a trainwreck, trying to understand how their dear Kamala could have lost to this evil man. Sunny Hostin assumed it was “uneducated white women,” while Joy Behar blamed social media platforms like X. The greatest threat to American ideology is, of course, free speech. Whoopi Goldberg made some bizarre statements, including “I know people who have died trying to vote,” somehow trying to tie that to Trump’s victory?
A show that panders to the anti-Trump crowd should do some soul-searching to understand why the precious Democratic Party was crushed in this election. Americans didn’t vote to have their rights taken away; it was the complete opposite. As the panel calls for greater censorship, they complain about the alleged rights Trump will take away.

😭😭George Clooney, it’s all your fault!
Remember when Biden was still “sharp as a tack”? After Trump made him look utterly hopeless during their first debate, we were still assured he is basically Einstein behind closed doors.
People across the country slowly started to come around after watching years of Biden’s gaffes. They started to question his mental fortitude and his ability to do, well, anything.
George Clooney, a good friend of Biden and Barack Obama was trying to convince us all that Biden was the man. That was until he tried to convince us all that he wasn’t.
Remember that 👆👆👆👆👆?
George Clooney was part of the collective Democratic organism that talked the party into toppling Biden. Clooney wrote this New York Times op-ed questioning Biden’s ability to defeat Trump.
Now that Donald Trump trucked Kamala Harris, it has to be someone’s fault. Congratulations, Clooney, you’re the winner.
Winning is far more important to Democratic voters than having someone competent in the White House. That means the evil orange man is not there to be a dictator. He’s not there to do Hitler things. Who cares if the president is practically brain-dead?
While Kamala Harris was an atrocious choice, the idea that Biden was going to defeat Trump is laughable. There were more debates scheduled. Biden would have to do the interview circuit. Sure, Biden pulled it off in 2020 but those were some pretty extenuating circumstances.
The same people who rejected Kamala Harris were inevitably going to reject Biden, too. Harris’ campaign spent two short months trying to distance itself from her connection to the administration. Why? Because it was terrible. Also, Harris was cornered by journalists asking about Biden’s mental decline. If left-leaning journalists were trying to wrap their heads around that one, what would they say to Biden?
Blaming George Clooney is absurd. After Biden’s crushing debate defeat, plenty of Democrats tried to toss him aside. Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Hakeem Jeffries, and others changed their tune following the debate. They wanted him gone.
This is just the binary way many people think about politics. One person with some pull would not be why Biden was forced out. Clooney pressured Biden, but remember, the media, politicians, celebrities, and voters wanted him out.
Harris was just next in line. When the Democrats undemocratically put a candidate in to protect democracy, they had to somehow sell it as acceptable. Harris was Biden’s VP. Biden had already accrued a massive war chest. They needed to manipulate the public. For years, the democrats claimed Trump was the ultimate threat to democracy, but they needed to find a way to subvert their own messaging. Kamala didn’t receive a single vote, but being Biden’s VP, the delegates technically were for her too, right?
This is why the Democrats lost. They want to play the blame game and point fingers. There has to be a simple explanation! It can’t be that we are terrible, right? It can’t be that we skipped over talking about things Americans actually cared about. It’s because of George Clooney! Thanks, George Clooney. Now Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler are in office because of you. How will you sleep at night when he’s hunting his opponents down in the streets?
❎❎Voter Demographics Shift for Trump
Remember just moments ago, when I showed you Sunny Hostin from The View claimed this election was “a referendum of cultural resentment”? Well you should see these numbers.
Source: The Epoch Times
Youngsters from Generation Z started moving in a more conservative direction. They are now seeing the downfall associated with policy disasters, so they decided to do something about it! Only 36% of Gen Z voted for Trump in 2020 compared with nearly 46% in this election.
When it came to the black vote, Trump received 15% compared to 8% in 2020. Hispanic voters rose from 35% (2020) to 41% in 2024.
I think Americans need to understand the significance of this shift. This election was no longer about corporate media and the political establishment. Trump and Republicans focused on making the rounds on podcasts. Over the last decade, Americans have moved away from legacy media news sources and instead focus on independent producers. Podcasts have become one of the primary information sources, along with social media, independent sites, and publications on sites like Substack.
Also, identity politics and the push toward more cultural issues have failed. That stuff was king for the last decade after Obama’s rise. Interest has waned now that policy has surpassed vibes.
Young Americans are inheriting a country that prior generations have destroyed. While I am not a “young American,” I can sympathize. My generation came up during the affluent 90s to watch our future destroyed in the name of constant war, terrible economic and policy decisions, a decline of culture, and the massive inflation of our currency. These younger voters are inheriting that during a time when Americans are more divided than ever. They want to see a future.
We just witnessed a rejection of names like Obama, Clinton, Cheney, and Pelosi. Obama’s days as kingmaker are over. As he desperately tried to shame voters into electing Harris, he just appeared desperate and, honestly, kind of pathetic.
Obama, like many Democrats, always tried to make their supporters feel like they were cool, hip, cultured, educated, and intelligent. They did this by scoffing at their opponents. Democrats would smugly look down upon those unfortunate Republicans who just aren’t as smart as them.
Well, the opposing Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents were smart enough to reject this establishment regime and build their system. They built a new ecosystem where corporate news networks became irrelevant. The days of the “expert class” are numbered now, and it’s no longer cool and counter-cultural to be a Democrat supporter.
The “vibe” politics quickly disillusions young people and other demographics. The perception of being a good person does not put food on the table, create productive jobs, or make gas more affordable. Many need to impart their image as being a good person, and for whatever reason, they attribute this to their political leanings.
You don’t need to vote Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian, or whatever to be a good person. Actions speak louder than words. Voting for candidates who vow to steal money from the wealthy to give to those in need is not proof you’re a “good person.” Promoting the DEI hiring policy does not make you a good person. People are starting to realize that.
It must be killer to no longer be the hip political party. Obama is probably realizing, “I’m not cool anymore!”
(Move Reference!) It’s like the movie 1991 movie Hook. When Peter Pan returns to the Lost Boys, he has been replaced by the cool, young Rufio. Later, when Pan topples Rufio’s leadership, and the Lost Boys chant Pan’s name, Rufio is sitting alone shouting, “Rufio! Rufio!” The Democrats have officially become Rufio, desperately shouting their name, hoping anybody will remember their glory days. Scene for reference 👇👇👇👇👇(2:05 for the moment I mentioned)
If that’s an obscure reference, I’m sorry. It’s the first thing to come to mind!
That’ll do it for today’s newsletter! I’m going to be posting some links later after I catch up on life. Also, the podcast comes out tonight; you can see that here on Substack or any of the video/podcast links below. In the meantime, watch as Americans meltdown.
