Another important column by Victor Davis Hanson.

He correctly identifies why there is so much hatred towards our President from the liberal elite and their media lap dogs, country-club republicans, and disaffected socialists bankrolled by Soros and Steyer. A few snippets:

"Far more importantly, why do the media, academia, the entertainment and professional sports industries, the progressive Left, the administrative state, and most Democratic officeholders despise him so? But the real source of their antipathy is his agenda.

"But whereas the Obama economy stagnated and his foreign policy was seen by adversaries and rivals as a rare occasion to recalibrate the world order at American’s expense, Trump mostly did not fail—at least not yet. We are currently in an economic boom while most of the world economy abroad is inert.

{What made Obama unpopular with the public—until his last year when he ceded the spotlight to Clinton and Trump and then was liked in absentia the more he was neither seen nor heard—was his wide social, cultural, economic, and political assault on conservatism.

"The Left detests Trump for a lot of reasons besides winning the 2016 election and aborting the progressive project. But mostly they hate his guts because he is trying and often succeeding to restore a conservative America at a time when his opponents thought that the mere idea was not just impossible but unhinged."

Success at stopping the slow slide into National Socialism being driven by our liberal elite has made them aware that their concept for a new America is the WRONG direction for the majority of people in the majority of states. That is why they want to eliminate the Electoral College and let a group of liberals from CA, NY, and MA.

JUST SAY NO to National Socialism.

SAY NO (again)
  -- Spike Souders
Liberals would like to move my country away from a Limited Government, Federal Republic of the Several States into a pure "Democracy" where the enlightened majority of "right thinking" people will set the laws for all of us.
I DISAGREE
Changing the Constitution is a non-starter as too many states would be effectively disenfranchised as the large, liberal states like New York and California and their foolhardy policies that are already wrecking their state's economies and causing smart people to flee. Lets NOT make the policies national so we can wreck the whole country's economy and so there is no where to flee to. Too many of the smaller states would NEVER approve that Constitutional Amendment.
The sneaky they are attempting the subversion of our Constitution is to get the individual states to assign their Electoral College votes to the winner of the National majority vote. So far 14 states have already agreed to do this. (Including mostly Democratic (Communist) bastions like California.)
So far Virginia (my current home) and Pennsylvania (the state of my childhood) have not fallen for this. I want the citizens of the states I'm associated with to
                                JUST SAY NO.
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: the winner of the Presidential election should be (and always has been) the individual who got the majority of votes of the citizens IN THE MAJORITY OF THE STATES*. The last 2 times the Republican "lost" the popular vote they lost overwhelmingly in California but "won" the net majority in the other 49 states. The "National Popular Vote" is a propaganda construct of the Liberal (Communist) elite and their propaganda arm and is correctly of no importance in a diverse country. That is why we have the Electoral College.
We need the Electoral College to prevent the tyranny of a CALIFORNIA super-majority from controlling the other 49 states.
