Coulter Ann H. - In Trump we trust: e pluribus awesome!

Until June 16, 2015, every conservative felt four things:

1. Were losing.

2. The fight wasnt fairit was over before it began, and the rules were rigged.

3. Our allies have abandoned us.

4. This loss is permanent. Were 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, Obamas 2008 position on gay marriage, as the union between a man and a woman, 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 drivers licenses for illegal aliensHillary, Barack Obama, John Edwards, and Joe Biden. By 2012 illegal aliens could get a drivers license in forty-nine states, as a result of Obamas executive amnesty. The only holdout was Nebraskaand the ACLU was suing Nebraska.

The mayor of Los Angeles brags that more than two hundred languages are spoken in his city.

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 Romneys loss was. Looking ahead to possible 2016 presidential candidates, it was gun-to-the-mouth time.

Its 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 isnt 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 ODonnell 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, theres nothing Trump can do that wont 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 Hillarys 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.

Trump announced he was running for president in a speech talking about Mexican rapists, pledging to deport illegal aliens and build a wall. He said America was getting ripped off in its trade deals with China, Japan, and Mexico, and that he was running because the country would soon be so far gone, it would be unsalvageable.

The media reacted as if hed called for gas chambers, but that speech propelled Trump to the top of the polls. So the pundits furrowed their brows and explained that Trump was riding a wave of anger against Washington, there was anger sweeping America, his supporters are fed up with the status quo, he was appealing to this very visceral, very angry populist working class blue collar worker. (Actual quotesIm too busy to footnote.) Evidently, voters were angry. Lots of anger. Fiery pits of anger. The 2016 electorate would have made Sam Kinison president.

On the other hand, if it was just tough talk the voters were hungering for, why didnt Governor Chris Christie go anywhere? He wasnt exactly Cary Grant on the campaign trail.
