Why the left and the media are in panic mode

The left and the media have been in panic mode for a while now. They started to get more wild and bent out of shape the closer we got to the election. Making completely baseless claims about Trump and his past, stirring up race issues then accusing Trump of being the cause. Even going as far as sending people to Trump rallies and having them act violent. Then the media claim it was Trump and his supporters who were at fault. The question is why? Why are the media the left and even some Republican politicians so hell bent on destroying Trump? They say it’s because he’s divisive and racist and just going to be horrible for the country. But is that really the case?

It seems more likely that they are afraid he might actually do some good.  If you think about it most of Trumps campaign was based on telling people he was going to correct a lot of issues. Issues that have been created by both parties. He didn’t run a campaign as a Republican or a Democrat he ran as a fixer. There was no promise to prop up a party the promise was to lift up America. It was almost more like he was in an interview and he was telling Americans how he could fix their company. He wasn’t just trying to appeal to his parties base, he was talking to everyone.

This reminds me of when I have discussed politics with my friends, we don’t agree on most things but the one thing we do agree on is we want what’s best for everyone. When it comes down too it most people don’t just want what’s best for themselves or certain groups, they would like to see everyone succeed. It is only when politicians and the media get involved that people devolve into these specific interest groups. And this division is only increased when the media paints the other side as evil. This is how you get people in cities like Baltimore, Chicago and Detroit to constantly elect people from the same party making the same or similar promises.

Trump wasn’t saying the same tired old things that we are used to hearing from politicians. This is why the media bent over backwards to stop people from listening to him. Most people I know who can’t stand Trump and think he is going to be this horrible dictator, didn’t listen to a single one of his speeches. Myself included, I was on the fence about Trump even after he won the candidacy until I heard him speak. It was different he was talking about things I never heard a Republican talk about, things I feel are important.

And this is exactly why the media is in panic mode. If Trump does just some of what he talked about wanting to do, the politician as we know it is dead in the water. This is why you see the media and politicians working together trying to undermine him. They are trying to cling to their one party system where they divide the country up into little groups and pander accordingly.

Russia’s motive

This is a question I have not heard answered by anyone who is accusing Russia of hacking the election. It seems when you are placing such heavy charge against a nation and its leader, you should at least provide some motive to go along with your proof. While most articles on the subject lack both of these things they at least try and provide proof by naming anonymous sources. But it doesn’t seem like they ever try and show what exactly the motive was for this massive hack. There have been a few far fetch completely unsubstantiated claims like Trump and people in his cabinet are Russian agents. Outside of that little has been talked about as to motive for this egregious attack on our democracy.

I would like to pose a question to people who believe that this hack really happened and changed the outcome of our election. Why did they do it? What was the Russian motivation that they would risk starting a war with a major superpower by committing an act of cyber warfare? Let’s just say I believe what you say no proof needed, from here on out I believe that Russia hacked the US election. Why did they do it? I feel like that is a very important question. As you can imagine I have a few theories of my own.

Was it to avoid war? During the debates Hillary said multiple times she would implement a no fly zone in Syria where Russia is conducting raids on what are believed to be ISIS strongholds. That sort of move by the US only goes two ways. One the Russians stop flying in the area and give up on their campaign to defeat ISIS in the area. Two they continue their campaign and the US shoots down their planes. The latter would certainly at the least end in a conflict at worst an all out war.

Did they feel like the current administration is not doing everything it can to defeat ISIS? Many people believed that a Clinton administration was going to be an extension of the Obama administration. There have been questions raised on how the Obama administration ran it campaign against ISIS. Some people felt they weren’t tough enough or being aggressive enough. Most of which can be backed up by how much territory they now control in the Middle East. Could this have been a driving force in the hack?

These are just a few ideas as to why this may have happened. While I never would endorse or be ok with any outside country hacking our government. If this is in fact the case and proof eventually shows up these are some interesting questions that will be asked.

Abolish the Electoral College

This has been much of the rallying call behind the Trump protests. To start the popular vote hasn’t been counted to completion yet. As of the time of this post, it is still a razor thin margin of just about 200k votes. So let’s get this out of the way, no matter what happens Hillary did not have some landslide win with the popular vote. She might not even win it when all is said and done.

Something I find interesting is that there was no issue with the Electoral College when Obama won twice. This is interesting because the left should probably always rally against the Electoral College, there are like 3 major cities that would decide every election. And of course those cities are super liberal.

Something else that people need to understand, if they did indeed abolish the Electoral College that means absolutely nothing as far as this election is concerned.  Do you have any clue how much campaign strategies would change if that were the case? I can’t say exactly but I can say for sure they would change drastically. So arguing after an election is over that the electoral college should go away because it would have changed the outcome of this past election is just…….DUMB.
