Listening to NPR always gives me a fatalistic view of what appears to be the looming apocalypse. Yesterday they were fielding calls from listeners voicing their opinions regarding the election results. They were understandably jubilant over the failure of the red wave to materialize. What was interesting, however, was the panel’s strategizing about how to mount an assault on Florida, seemingly the last Republican stronghold. Even more telling were the female callers that stated it was a “one issue election” for them, and that issue was abortion. So, in essence, let the country burn, allow crime to run rampant in our streets, dissolve our borders and go ahead, keep printing money but dammit, preserve my right to kill babies above all else. Even if it requires electing an intellectually impaired candidate to the US Senate in Pennsylvania. The end justifies the means. Clearly, insanity on display. Another caller, a Florida resident, chose to attack Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, claiming he is nothing but “a more palatable racist than Trump,” allowing Nazis to fly the swastika at his rallies, and claiming he has “decimated” Florida’s public school system. No questions were asked by the panel, of course. Imagine if those same charges were leveled at Democrat presidential hopefuls by a publicly funded news source. That’s right; you can’t. So my point is: there was no red wave, just as there was no blue wave in the last election. There will be no more waves. We are a partisan, divided nation with crazed leftist activists and a complicit media that will keep us divided by fanning the flames of extremism. And it does not bode well for these United States.
