<\/line><\/p>\nWe don\u2019t. They do. So when Hispanics… They\u2019re all thought to be monolithic, by the way. Every Hispanic thinks and votes the same way, according to liberals. Every woman thinks and votes the same way. That\u2019s how they approach them. Every African-American thinks and votes the same way. And to the left, they are all victims. They\u2019re victims of various American grievances and discriminations. And they believe two of the most outrageously untrue, false things that are a special kind of stupid to believe. A, that white supremacists elected Trump, and the second thing they believe is that the Russians tampered with the election. <\/p>\n
They believe those two things are why they lost. White supremacists and the Russians tampering with elections. Elected Democrats literally believe those things. Now, see, Mr. Snerdley just said to me in the IFB, “They have to know better.” See, I used to think that they knew better, they were just saying that. I have revised my thinking. I think they really believe it. You\u2019re looking at it logically, you\u2019re looking at this logically. You\u2019re saying there aren\u2019t enough white supremacists to influence anything. Absolutely true. <\/p>\n
They\u2019re not looking at this logically. These people are rooted totally in a very convoluted series of emotional illnesses, I think. And so emotion governs their reason. It is their reason. There actually isn\u2019t any reason. They cannot comprehend a legitimate society rejecting them. And so it has to be something aberrant, it has to be something racist, it has to be something impure that would reject them, because they\u2019re not wrong, and they\u2019re not flawed, and they\u2019re pure and clean and just the best. <\/p>\n
Logic would say there aren\u2019t enough white supremacists, but are there any? When you get right down to it, white supremacists? I mean, you could put \u2019em in a phone booth, for crying out loud. However, there are black supremacists. There are all kinds of minority supremacists, and they are perfectly fine in that state, according to the left. But whenever white people happen to vote their interests, have you picked up on the fact that that\u2019s somehow illegitimate? But when any minority votes its interests, whether it be economic or cultural, when any minority votes its interests, why that\u2019s perfectly fine, it\u2019s justifiable, makes perfect sense. When white people do it, it\u2019s unacceptable, it\u2019s white supremacism, and it\u2019s racism. <\/p>\n
Well, that\u2019s just absolutely absurd. So when you start talking about making America great again, the people I\u2019m talking about literally quake with fear. They literally do. “Make America Great Again,” it\u2019s the “again.” They get lost in their emotional swirl thinking that we want to take the country back 200 years to the founding and the years shortly thereafter. <\/p>\n
Can I tell you what “Make America Great Again” is to Trump? I\u2019ll tell you exactly what it is to Trump. Yesterday was Pearl Harbor Day and I was not here. I had to take the day off. We commemorate Pearl Harbor Day every year on this program by offering a few moments of reflection to remember it. Now, I\u2019ve talked about what happened in the 1930s in this country in the midst of the Depression. You look at what we built in less than seven years during the Depression in the 1930s. <\/p>\n
The Golden Gate Bridge that\u2019s still like brand-new today. The San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge went up at the same time. It doesn\u2019t get nearly as much attention because the Golden Gate Bridge is just iconic for bridges. The Hoover Dam. Prior to that was the Panama Canal. Building things, expanding. If you look at World War II, look at what happened. People don\u2019t stop to think about this, particularly now, and it\u2019s largely because we\u2019re never gonna fight wars anymore the way we fought them in World War II. <\/p>\n
Technologically we are so far beyond that. We don\u2019t need Rangers rappelling up a 200-foot-cliff to take German gun installations at the top of Pointe du Hoc. You simply send some drones over and wipe them out. But back then we didn\u2019t have the technology we have today. World War II, we\u2019re not in a war footing at all and we\u2019re attacked by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. World War II had been going on in the European theater for quite a while. We had studiously avoided it, which produced its own controversies at the time. <\/p>\n
![\"original\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Trump-Flags-B.jpg\"\/)
And then the Japanese attacked us at Pearl Harbor, we couldn\u2019t stay out any longer. But we were not on a war footing. We had a large Navy, but it was largely wiped out. You look at what this nation did in order to be able not just to fight World War II in two theaters, the Pacific theater and the European, and win, in seven years? You look at simply the things that we built in order to make it possible, from all of the aircraft, to the ammunition, to the tanks, to the jeeps, to every bit of military and construction equipment that was necessary. <\/line><\/p>\nYou\u2019ve heard the story of Rosie the Riveter. Everybody went to work in the factory to start manufacturing what was necessary to fight the wars. We could not do that today. Not as we did then. I don\u2019t mean this to be critical, just illustrative. Look at how long it took to simply decide on what was going to replace the World Trade Center after 9\/11. Both of those towers, had it been the 1940s, would have been rebuilt inside of five years. Again, not a criticism, just an observation. <\/p>\n
I think with Trump, the whole idea of making America great, some of it\u2019s rooted in industrialism, clearly, but it is largely about having and being and building the best with whatever we decide to do, be it airports, be it a space program, be it a welfare program, be it a health care system, whatever it is, it\u2019s gonna be the best. We\u2019re gonna make it the best, and we\u2019re gonna do it, and we\u2019re gonna roll up our sleeves, and we\u2019re gonna start to work, and we\u2019re gonna do it. <\/p>\n
Now, from his perspective, there are a lot of things in this country that have been allowed to slide that are not in tip-top shape that are deteriorating and about to fall over and fall down in our infrastructure and in a lot of other places. And I think it\u2019s simply unacceptable to him. And he\u2019s simply referring to things like that. But he\u2019s also talking about human capital. Whatever we decide to do, we\u2019re gonna be the best, we\u2019re gonna find the best to put in charge of these programs that are gonna end up being the best when we complete them. <\/p>\n
But to so many people on the left, that whole concept escapes them. That doesn\u2019t even show up on their radar. “Make America Great” means a return to the days of slavery and white supremacism and the KKK and women with abortions in the back alley. It is a new kind of stupid. “Make America Great” means we\u2019re going to, oh, my God, we\u2019re gonna let the ice caps melt and there isn\u2019t gonna be a New York and I\u2019m not gonna be able to survive on the planet when I hit 65.” <\/p>\n
That\u2019s what “Make America Great” means. We\u2019re gonna abandon all of these wonderful new projects to fix nonexistent emergencies like climate change, which used to be global warming, but it\u2019s climate change \u2019cause now we got this massive cold front sweeping in from Alaska. You know, there\u2019s a football game tonight, the Oakland Raiders at the Kansas City Chiefs. And it\u2019s gonna be about 20 degrees, 15, 20 degrees below normal. It\u2019s gonna be colder than a witch\u2019s upper torso out there, and the place is gonna be full. <\/p>\n
The Raiders, it\u2019s a short week, they have to travel three hours, 1,500 miles, after having played a game on Sunday. They\u2019re at a clear disadvantage \u2019cause of that, but this is such an important game tonight. And it\u2019s gonna be played in weather so cold that should not happen because of climate change and CO2 warming the planet and all this kind of stuff. I think that\u2019s all “Make America Great” means. It means what common sense would tell you it means. And the fact the left is so afraid of that ought to open a lot of people\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So no sooner did Snerdley think that I was exaggerating, maybe, talking about how the left really believes they lost election because of white supremacists, than he turns on PMSNBC, and there\u2019s Maxine Waters! And Maxine Waters is busy yelling and shouting going on and on about all the white supremacists and how they\u2019re reason that Trump won and it\u2019s up to Trump to tame \u2019em in. It\u2019s up to Trump to tell them to behave. It\u2019s up to Trump to get these white supremacists to understand that they do not run the country or some such thing. <\/p>\n
Folks, do not doubt me. Now, granted, you\u2019re gonna have some Democrat strategists go on TV who are going to pander. They\u2019re gonna figure that, you know, the collective IQ of the audience may be that of a pencil eraser. So they\u2019re gonna tell \u2019em what they want to hear and that is that they didn\u2019t lose for any reason other than white supremacists. But I\u2019m telling you, there are a whole slew of Democrats that believe this garbage, and they believe that Putin tampered with the election. They believe it! It\u2019s inarguable. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
