Donald Trump, in what some in the world of media punditry have described as a shocker and a stunner, barely short of a miracle, has won the presidential election with an electoral count of 276 to Hillary Clinton’s 218..
And now comes the screams from the left – particularly when the exit polling shows that Trump’s win is due, in large part, to the rousing voice of the Christian community. Here’s a taste of what it looks like on Wednesday, post-Trump win, to the left.
Ariana Grande, that Hollywood millennial-age actress who made national headlines some months ago for taking a bite from pastry on a bakery shelf and putting it back, while saying she hated America, responded in shrill tears to the news.
On Twitter, to her nearly 43 million followers, she wrote: “Well, this is utterly terrifying” and “I am in tears.”
The sentiment – the so-called “terrifying” aspect of a Trump presidency – was echoed on CNBC by a talking head. CNBC also managed to dredge up a Clinton supporter who was walking down a New York City street while holding her Democratic campaign sign who told a sad tale of a man, ostensibly in the Trump camp, ripping up her go-Hillary message and screaming at her. The message the media outlet meant to convey?
That all Trump supporters are crazed nuts, and sane America better prepare: The “terrifying” days are a-coming.
Others simply shed tears, as captured by photograph on Twitter.
And get this, out of California: Protesters took to the streets of Los Angeles and college campuses in the dawning hours of realization that Clinton had not won, screaming in the streets, “Not my president. Not my president.”
This is insane. The left is insane.
Trump, meanwhile, took to Twitter and wrote: “Such a beautiful and important evening! The forgotten man and woman will never be forgotten again. We will all come together as never before.”
So how did Trump manage the win?
Here’s a headline, from the Wall Street Journal: “Evangelicals Back Donald Trump in Record Numbers, Despite Earlier Doubts.”
More than 80 percent of the evangelical and born-again crowd went for Trump, exit polls showed.
From the Wall Street Journal:
“Conservative Christians backed Donald Trump in huge numbers on Tuesday, helping him secure the presidency after months of questions about whether religious voters would turn out for the Republican nominee.
“More than 80% of white evangelical and born-again Christians voted for Mr. Trump, according to national exit polling—a larger percentage than backed Mitt Romney, John McCain or George W. Bush, the GOP candidates in the past three elections.
“Though evangelicals have voted overwhelmingly for Republicans for decades, Mr. Trump’s nomination sparked an identity crisis among conservative Christians, which some feared might even split up the religious right’s powerful political voting bloc. …
“[U]ltimately, white religious conservatives showed up for Mr. Trump on Tuesday in force. Despite misgivings about Mr. Trump’s character, more than 75% of white evangelical women voted for him, according to the exit polls.”
Wow. The world, if you’re a liberal, must be a scary place right now. Not only did the American people slap back at corruption, scandal, status quo and establishment politics – but the Christians rose up with a voice of solidarity, an always “terrifying” notion to the far left.
