In the 1970 film Tora! Tora! Tora! Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto famously said, after he directed the Japanese naval attack on Pearl Harbor, “I’m afraid we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.” While there is no evidence that Yamamoto ever actually spoke these words in real life, they remain entrenched in World War II folklore.
Fast forward to 2024 and a much different America. If the November 5 election proved anything, it’s that America is not Martha’s Vinyard, or the Hamptons, or Washington, D.C. Nor is it Oprah, Beyonce, or Taylor Swift. America is East Palestine, Asheville, and Springfield. America is the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker. Fortunately for Republicans, the Party of Hate and Hysteria (a.k.a. the Democrat Party) still does not understand this. Worse, Democrats have no clue that over the past 16 years they, like the Japanese in 1941, have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.
Silver-tongued Barack Obama was a shock to the American way of life that has always been based on goodwill and civility, which caused the sleeping giant to begin to awaken from his slumber under the moniker of the Tea Party. Ultimately, however, Obama’s ability to convincingly spew out hateful B.S. to guilt-ridden, comatose voters made it possible to keep the sleeping giant in a state of mild drowsiness for eight long years. Then, from out of nowhere, Donald Trump burst onto the scene, and the giant reawakened and began to flex its muscles once more.
However, when Joe Biden and COVID came along, Democrats started believing that the giant, in the form of the butchers, the bakers, and the candlestick makers, had once again fallen asleep. They were confident they could destroy their mortal enemy, America, and shame misguided voters into submission. They truly believed that their four-year reign of terror could be carried out without much resistance, even with a cognitively impaired puppet as their figurehead. So much so that they ultimately performed a coup against him and brazenly installed a totally unaccomplished, low IQ radical-leftist as their candidate to run against Donald Trump.
Given all this, the results of the recent election should not have surprised anyone who had been paying close attention to the sleeping giant while Democrats were laying waste to the country. The butchers, the bakers, and the candlestick makers were becoming angrier by the day, especially when Democrats tried to remove their leader from state ballots, imprison him, bankrupt him, even kill him. Unlike Yamamoto, however, Democrats are guided by emotion rather than intellect, so they immediately started to jump the shark by announcing they would resist the will of 72+ million voters and stop Donald Trump’s efforts to turn the ship of state around.
With flames shooting from their nostrils, Democrats have pledged to fight, fight, fight! By fight, they apparently mean they intend to do everything in their power to stop the duly elected administration from carrying out its mandate. It’s just their idea of how to restore democracy. With intellectual icons like Morning Schmo, Black Barbie, and the Witches of the View leading the charge, Democrats have clearly zeroed in on what went wrong on November 5: It’s simply that voters were too stupid to realize what they were voting for.
After all, those voters are racists, misogynists, homophobes, and Islamophobes, among a whole string of other sins. And since such lost souls are almost certainly beyond redemption, the only solution is to get rid of them, which is a big problem for Democrats, given that they have lost their political power.
We all know about the mental state of those who make the same mistakes over and over again, and Democrats have gifted us by making it clear that they intend to stick with their gameplan to ignore the will of the people. The question now is whether or not the giant will once again fall into a slumber as America’s modern-day Jacobins roam the countryside dragging their guillotines behind them.
Trump has gotten off to a good start by quickly eliminating Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo from consideration for cabinet posts, but the fight, fight, fight crowd is digging in their heels and preparing for all-out war — not so much against Donald Trump, but against the numbskulls who elevated him to power. They obviously are not familiar with Rule No. 1 for Living a Long Life: Never awaken a sleeping giant. Or Rule No. 2: Once awakened, make nice to the giant and hope he goes back to sleep.
Muammar Gaddafi found this out the hard way in Libya, as did Batista in Cuba, Marcos in the Philippines, “Baby Doc” in Haiti, and endless other tyrants throughout history. For years, Tucker has warned that if you push people too hard, they will eventually revolt, and clearly that is what has just happened. Nevertheless, here we are, just a week after the election, and it appears Democrats are bound and determined not to make nice to the giant so he might doze off again.
Thank you, Democrats, and please keep up the good work.
