1972-2020


George McGovern vs. Richard Nixon was the contest. McGovern carried one state and the D.C.

McGovern ran as the anti-war candidate. Unlike today’s Democrats, he was a patriot. He was a WWII B-24 pilot in the European Theater and flew some 35 missions.

His running mate  Sargent Shriver, a Kennedy family member by marriage, was a peacenik his whole life. Still, he served in WWII as an officer aboard the Battleship South Dakota and received the Purple Heart.

Nixon also served in the Pacific theater where, by numerous accounts, he was a gold plated REMF.

So what is your point, WSF? I see a lot of similarities leading up to the 2020 election. All the turmoil of the past three years with the Democrats and Deep State attempting coups and the current BLM/Antifa bullshit shows the same pattern as the communist directed anti-war agitation during the Vietnam War. It seems almost a mirror copy. The communist haven’t gone away; the players have changed. Their goals remain the same, IMO.

When the votes are counted, the deeply corrupt blue states will have rigged the vote, as per usual, although groups like Judicial Watch may blunt the more outrageous past practices.  The solid Red States will go for President Trump.

That leaves the ‘battle ground states”. I predict the President will take them by a landslide; that so many voters are sick of the way the Democrats are acting. They are terrified of what will happen if the Democrats win.

To get vulgar, the Democrats mouths have overloaded their asses. They talk to each other and not the public. The media is with them. There is an almost religious air about their determination to oust the President; that anything that might weaken him is to be embraced and applauded.

The public they were elected to represent? That public wants stability, jobs, safe neighborhoods and a growing economy. Who has a three year+ track record of delivering those results?

The President isn’t elected by popular vote (thank you once again, Founding Fathers) but electors from individual states. President Trump won the majority of them last election, and I believe he will again.

After the Lightbringer’s election, one pundit wrote under the heading of, “We survived Bush, You will survive Obama”. Cheer up, (P)regressives, you only have four more years to survive!

Biden's been out saying that he fears that President Trump will steal the election from him. He's sewing the seeds of the next riots and looting.

Assumption. President Trump is re-elected. He now has a mandate, it you will, to restore tranquility. Let the riots and looting begin. It won't end well for the participants.

Yep, the parallels are definitely there, and I'm really not looking forward to the end of the year... sigh

It may be ugly, but it may preserve the country for a generation or two.

Good predictions, WSF, and I remember the '72 election (tho very young).

For sure, the commies haven't gone away but they couldn't pull another Woodstock, just fauxtrage race war mutinies and a goofy CHOP. So I'd argue they don't have the same cultural pull they had then. Thank God.

Let's see a MAGA landslide.
