I kind of expected 2024 to suck. It didn’t, at least not completely. All’s well that ends well, they say, and 2024 ended well. It’s amazing what a good ending can retroactively do to an otherwise mediocre movie, and it’s amazing what an electoral victory can do to an otherwise mediocre year. That encapsulated 2024 for me.
The year wasn’t that great – inflation continued, people suffered and the political party in charge didn’t give a damn. Democrats spent the year trying to convince people they didn’t realize how good they had it. It was never a winning strategy, no matter who their candidate was.
They also spent the year trying to rewrite history, recent history. It’s one thing to try to claim Abraham Lincoln was gay because you’re desperate to push a left-wing gay or trans agenda and there’s no one left alive to call you out for the lie first hand, it’s another to attempt to do it to convince people they had it worse just a couple of years ago when they can unambiguously remember the truth.
It takes balls, I’ll give Democrats that much, whether they’re theirs or ones they keep in a jar as a trophy from one of their pre-pubescent “tolerance” victims. But it was never going to work because reality is relentless and undefeated, and it is not dependent upon your belief in it.
It seemed that Democrats really believed they could convince people that failure was success. Hell, they had a billion and a half dollars to do it, so you can sort of see why.
And never let anyone tell you that money was raised because Kamala Harris was their ultimate candidate, they raised it because Donald Trump was ours. For all the talk of money corrupting politics and the whining they do about Elon Musk spending $200 million to elect Republicans, their billionaire class gave 6 times more and has for years. This just happened to be the time where the emperor had no clothes, and not just because Joe Biden likes to walk around naked in front of female Secret Service agents.

That money would have been spent if Biden hadn’t been knifed, and maybe more effectively – there was no way to spend it any dumber, honestly. Maybe Oprah wouldn’t have gotten more than a million dollars for a 90-minute streaming disaster or any of the other celebrities she paid might not have gotten richer off it, but other people – probably also with the last name “Biden” – would have.
Until it wasn’t, the election was up for grabs. That made much of 2024 uneasy. The polls sucked, naturally, but they were the only unit of measure we had for much of the year. When they shifted from a Trump blowout against a senile Joe Biden after that disastrous debate to a margin of error white knuckler, everyone had a hard swallow (and no, that is not a Kamala Harris joke, sick-o).
On top of that, there was a real question as to whether or not the Republican candidate would survive the election, with two attempts on his life…that we know of.
Isn’t it weird how we know so little about either of the men who tried to assassinate the President-Elect and no one in the media seems interested? Hell, if they would’ve had a unibrow or succeeded, just imagine the fawning over them Democrats would have done – Trump is obviously a bigger fish than the CEO of a health insurance (not care, as insurance companies do not deliver “care,” medical professionals do).
With all that in mind, 2024 will do down not only as the year Donald Trump was reelected, it will also be remembered as the year Democrats became even more disgusting than they’d been since they started a war to protect slavery or invented segregation and Jim Crow laws. They called everyone who wasn’t one of them a Nazi, promised the “end of democracy” if they lost, then immediately started fundraising for the next election once they did.
They didn’t even take a breath between any of it. They truly are a testament to sociopathy.
2024 left the left reeling, but they are not dead. They still control the education system and will continue to churn out more and more drones.
Reality struck back and gave Republicans the House, Senate and the White House. If things improve – and how could the not? – and Democrats continue to double-down on the hate, child genital mutilation, embracing of mental illness and calling everyone else names there is no reason to think this will change in 2026. But we have to get through 2025 first, and no group of people excels at self-destruction like Republicans.
Buckle up and sharpen your elbows. Happy New Year.
