So, we’ve had 24 hours or so to digest the mid-term election results and both sides have claimed a victory of sorts, but more on that in a bit. More importantly though, what has this great exercise in democracy taught us? Well, first of all, white men - especially the uneducated ones - are overwhelmingly and irredeemably racist and misogynistic. No real surprise there because we knew that already. If it were up to white men only, the modern Democratic Party would never get a look in. But never fear, the Dems are doing everything in their power - including restoring voting rights to convicted felons, a disproportionate number of whom are black, encouraging illegals to vote, and generally doing everything they can to facilitate demographic replacement and impede any attempt to slow it down - to ensure that the white man vote - the Republican vote - continues to become increasingly small. Another few election cycles, and, the way things are going, there will never be another conservative government (that is, a government that wishes to conserve the current demographic status quo) elected.
Despite the best efforts of Kanye West and Candace Owens to wake black voters up to the reality of the Democrat plantation, the black ‘block’ vote remains safely in Democratic hands, so no worries there. Surprisingly, and rather infuriatingly, however, white women - to the indignation of all ‘right-thinking’ progressives everywhere - continue to vote against their own ‘obvious’ interests. As one of the identifiable “disenfranchised” groups, they should be realising what side their bread is buttered on and turning out for the Democrats in far greater numbers than they are, but they’re still just not getting it (I can’t help but marvel at the ironic spectacle of black men accusing white women of treachery).
The only logical conclusion is that they are being pressured, exhorted - perhaps even strong-armed - into voting the way the men in their lives want them to vote (that’s one theory anyway - perhaps they’re just stupid?). I mean it’s just baffling, isn’t it? What forward-thinking, modern woman would vote for a party that upholds the ‘patriarchy’ rather than the party that promises to “end whiteness” by making them and their children a demographic minority within a generation? It makes no sense at all!
Well, anyway, despite the ‘treachery’ of white women to the progressive cause, the Dems have managed to gain control of Congress - although the Republicans have retained the Senate (even gained a little). This gives, as I mentioned at the start, both sides the ‘right’ to claim a victory.
However, let’s be real: even though it’s almost to be expected that the ruling party will lose some ground in the mid-terms, thanks to the fickle nature of floating voters, who inevitably find reason to feel disillusioned and come to the conclusion that the only remedy is a good old shake-up, this is nothing short of a catastrophe for the ‘Trump agenda’. Any progress now will be reliant on the complicity of the Democrats and you can bet your bottom dollar that won’t be forthcoming. The wall isn’t getting built, the military isn’t getting sent to turn the Caravans away, illegals aren’t getting deported, none of it. Expect obstruction, subpoenas, calls for impeachment and general deadlock.
The bitterness becomes ever more entrenched in the psyche of those who sit on opposite sides of the hall as each frustrates the vision of the other. Claim and counter-claim of wrongdoing stiffens the resolve of those who just can’t abide by the wishes of their political opponent. Divisions continue to deepen as each side vows to destroy the other and tit-for-tat ensues. We are fast reaching an impasse, the like of which has not been seen since the reformation, and the consequences of which will be just as dire - more so, given that this time it is not merely a fracture which is philosophical in nature, but a question of the very survival of Western Civilisation itself.
How can two groups with such divergent interests reconcile within the same space? It has been said that Trump is not good at playing with others, but how can a President that has been elected on the basis of preserving a nation possibly come to any kind of understanding with an intractable enemy that is fully and wholeheartedly committed to its destruction?
Many outside commentators looking in see the mid-terms as nothing more than a quirk of American politics; a kind of barometer for measuring the popularity of the sitting President. It tells us whether there is broad endorsement or rejection of the path that is being followed, but it’s not much more than that. Perhaps, when the stakes are low, that is what it is, but this time, the stakes could not be higher.
What we are witnessing here is a nation - no, a civilisation - collapsing in on itself; battle lines are being drawn as each side ramps up the rhetoric in preparation for the coming conflict. What is at stake here is nothing short of the future of humanity. Which way Western man? Darkness or light?
