Not only did President Donald Trump collect enough Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency (a virtual replay of 2016), he got the popular vote as well (quite an eye-opener). What that tells me is that America has spoken. But who and what is America (and are Democrats listening)? America is certainly not a gaggle of A-list celebrities in the entertainment industry, and I’ll throw most of the mainstream “news” media into that barrel – not all of them, but most of them. Real journalists were not backing Vice President Kamala Harris (or Donald Trump). They were too busy doing their jobs, covering the chaos as objectively as they could. America is also not who the pollsters thought it is…who got it wrong yet again. And finally, America is not mega-donors (of which there aren’t really that many compared to the entire population). America, to me, is the average person on the street, with an average job, and an average family.  They’re not rich or famous or powerful.  They’re just people, and on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, those people spoke.  And they said that they prefer what Trump represents over what Harris represents. Simple enough?
