No Crying!
There's a lot of crying these days. A dictator is coming to power, so I guess it makes sense.
Trump is not just a candidate from the Republican Party....Trump is a world revolution. A conservative revolution. And the fact that he managed to come to power once, then withstand all the blows during Biden’s presidency, and now triumphantly win the presidential election again, means that he is no accident. Now, no one can dispute this by saying it is just a “system malfunction.” No, this is a trend, a fundamental line.1

I keep seeing videos of people crying because Kamala lost. It’s mostly young women, but there are some men in there too.
I saw an 80 year-old man giving a heartfelt good-bye. I thought, initially, that this guy must be dying or something. He was not dying. However, he was so upset about Kamala losing that he was going to leave X. I guess because free speech dethroned Kamala he’s letting X know it will no longer be graced with his presence.
“Yup, I’m going to have to leave X. Good-bye everyone. I love all of you so much…good-bye…good-bye…good-bye…good-bye…okay, maybe I’ll stay.”
They always stay. The “likes” are addictive and everyone begs them to stay. I’m sure the gravity of the situation caused lots crying and wailing and gnashing of teeth with all those faceless friends and bots who are now traumatized and in need of weekly visits to the psychiatrist or psychologist or the bartender down the street. I have no idea how bots handle this sort of thing.
Look, there are certainly times to cry, maybe even throw a tantrum, like I did when the San Diego Chargers moved to Los Angeles. The team this San Diego native had loved since childhood! Lance Alworth, Dan Fouts, L.T., Rivers and a host of others occupied my Sundays for decades. There was no comfort, there was no consoling. My bread and circuses disappeared…whatever would I do…hmmmm…who knows? Think? Read? Maybe start a Substack?
I’ll tell you what I didn’t do. I didn’t post myself crying so all my friends and family could see. No, I didn’t do that!2
Many of these criers, I gotta believe, are not real…they just want “likes,” the new currency of the woke. Those that actually feel that bad…must want attention, I guess. I can’t imagine posting videos of myself after my dog died (I did really cry in that instance). Who wants or needs to see a blubbering old guy? Why would I want anyone to see that?
I do realize that people are very upset that Kamala didn’t win. If they literally believe that Trump is Hitler and that he is going to be a literal dictator, who wouldn’t be upset?
But I would be far more impressed if these professional criers would show some backbone. “Hey, we’re not going to give up. We’re gonna win the next one,” instead of, “I can’t believe you terrible people, sniff, sniff, voted for Trump. What’s wrong with you? Sniff, sniff.”
The gaslighting is strong with these criers.
Naomi Wolf, who I love and whose two books I have reviewed (The Bodies of Others and Facing the Beast), who is a former Democratic consultant for Bill Clinton, offered some free advice to the Trump team. She thinks they (us) shouldn’t make fun of these criers. She thinks Trump needs to reach out specifically to all the country. Unite everyone.
Yes, uniting the country would be great, but Trump’s message has always been for all our country’s citizens, for all the world. It has always been the Mainstream Media that has lied about Trump’s message over and over and over again. They’ll continue to do that.
Trump just won a landslide victory against the odds. I think he and his team know what they’re doing. Resurrecting political advice from the Clinton administration is not the answer. I never believed any of Clinton’s bullshit anyway. So there’s that.
Attempting to comfort the criers, the propagandized and the haters is not going to work. They will not be persuaded by “reaching across the aisle.” Please, please, please Trump team don’t fall into that trap. I don’t think they will.
If Trumpers do reach across the aisle (both aisles need some reaching)…yank those people over to our side. If they won’t come, don’t try to ingratiate yourselves to them. It has never worked and never will. Dust your feet off and move on without them. No compromises.
I side more with C.J. Hopkins. You can’t reason with these people. You can’t appeal to their sense of morality if it is warped beyond recognition. Being nice to them will not work. You have to expose the lies they believe in such a way that they see the monsters they’re following and the monsters they’ve become. If they can’t or won’t see it, then expose it to everyone else and MOVE ON.
The left has a habit of doing whatever they want when they’re in power and if that power shifts they start crying about unity and compromise and non-partisanship. The right, then, always tries to appease them.
Thankfully, I don’t think this Trump administration is going to do that. With or without them their goal is to Make America Great Again.
So be it.

Dugin, Alexander, "Trump’s Victory: A Global Conservative Revolution", ARKTOS, November 6, 2024, Source
Just for the record, to keep my manhood intact, I didn't really cry when the Chargers left. I broke a few things, I vowed to never watch them again unless they moved back to San Diego, I didn't eat for days, I drank too much...but I did not cry. Okay, most of that I didn't do either.
It is all well and good to stop, and step to the side of the trail to console or consult the lost hiker. But never give away the compass, that is leading you in the correct direction, to someone who doesn't know how to use it. Then, you both will be lost.
Another analogy, offer a ride to the "fellow traveler", but don't let a serial killer into your passenger seat.
There is an opportunity to help those who are simply lost or misguided. But the insane will only sabotage the journey, leave them be.
Naomi Wolf also wrote that the Republican women should stop looking so beautiful, slim, well-dressed, graceful, because Democrat women don’t see themselves that way and of course we should all pander to these losers, these fatties, these blue-haired, shoddy, lazy dressers. So, once a very silly Democrat woman, always a very silly Democrat woman if Ms Wolf is anything to go by. She is far too immersed in ‘feminist’ thinking, can’t seem to shake it off entirely, perhaps she is too old to change, too old for her long hair, anyway. But, she has redeemed herself regarding the poison jabs and the ‘Covid’ evil generally, so there’s that. But her take on what President Trump should do if he cared to win the unwinnable votes of very silly democrat women is way off beam.
