Epic.

I imagine many people, myself included, feel exactly like this today:

I'm far less surprised by Trump's win and his electoral college win, his expected popular vote win and the senate and (likely) house victories than I am surprised by the speed of it.  I expected things to drag on for days, and with each passing day the chances of a Harris 'magical' come from behind win to materialize. That did not happen, and to me that was the biggest surprise.  It was not only too big to steal, it was too quick to steal.

The fact that Fox News called Pennsylvania when it did is historically not surprising, but for recent history a bit of a shock.  Perhaps Fox was trying to atone for calling Arizona way too early in 2020, or perhaps it was just too obvious to not call. Indeed the AP called the state shortly afterward. With that state gone and Trump leading in all the battleground states the weight of the victory was just too much to overcome by a vote dumping.

Dow futures are way up this morning.  I'm not surprised by that either. The Democrats' economic policies have been asinine for decades but have truly blossomed in their putrescence during the Let's Go Brandon years.

Here's another big surprise, as of 9:25 this morning, 

...Trump edged Harris by a few million votes -- 71,436,910 to 66,364,497 -- with 88% of precincts reporting, according to NBC News.

Trump is roughly on track to win just under the same number of votes as he did in 2020.  According to Cook Political Report, Let's Go Brandon got 81.28 million votes to Trump's 74.22 million votes in 2020. And according to CNN, Hillary Clinton also beat Trump 65.8 million to his 62.98 million votes.

Trump may end up with fewer votes than in 2020 but a landslide victory compared to a loss that year. The surprising part is that Let's Go Brandon somehow got 81.28 million votes in 2020. More than any other president in history. Roughly 12 million more than Obama's best year (2008). No one believes Let's Go Brandon's popularity on the left rivalled Obama at his peak, or even Obama in 2012.  You'll never convince me that TDS was so bad in 2020 that Let's Go Brandon overperformed to that extent. It supposedly was high turnout, during COVID. Something clearly happened in 2020 that still needs to be reviewed and fixed. 

Getting back to 2024, this win was epic.  More importantly it was justice; they tried to imprison him, they tried to keep him off the ballot, they incited violence against him. This may indeed have even been more than justice. It may have been Divine Providence.
