Bill Sniffin: American People ‘Woke’ Up Last Tuesday! Wyoming Celebrates Trump Landslide

For years, all we heard about was how Americans were lined up to “vote against” Donald Trump. Really?

Tuesday’s national landslide for Trump revealed that a majority of the voters in America were fed up with all the woke crap of the Biden-Harris-Democrat regime and could not wait to “vote against” them.

Voters threw them out of office and got rid of a slew of Senators and Representatives, too.

It appears that a huge number of American citizens “woke up” to realize that all the silly and goofy ideas being stuffed down their throats were just too much. 

Voters Rejected Woke Ideas

These voters did not support issues like open borders, excessive regulations, crazy climate rules, men competing against women, reparations for slavery 150 years after the fact, paying off student loans, drag queen story hours, gender treatments for little kids, an obsession on race, and a culture of death that allowed abortions being committed on full-term babies.

The Biden-Harris administration was a cultural experiment that appeared to work in California so why not thrust these ideas on the entire people of the country? But much of the rest of the country was opposed being californicated. The people finally had had enough.

Trump and his VP JD Vance put forth common-sense ideas like reining in inflation, lowering energy prices, making peace in the world, and charging our biggest adversaries like China fair prices through tariffs. 

What is wrong with the Democrats on a national level that they have such a time finding good candidates? Biden was a laughingstock during the early times of the 2020 campaign until the Democrat puppeteers realized that candidates like Bernie Sanders or Kamala Harris could not beat Trump.

Under the guidance of South Carolina’s Jim Clyburn, they engineered a primary victory for Biden in that state which propelled him to the nomination.

Then they hid him in his basement during the campaign and used some very effective (and legal) campaign tricks across the country to find enough votes to give him the win. 

By 2024, the Chief Puppeteer, former president Barack Obama, knew Biden had lost most of his marbles so his henchmen pursued that early debate with Trump as a way to knock the poor old fella out of the race. Biden’s ego could not allow him to avoid an obvious disaster.

As Biden was hustled off the stage, Kamala got busy.

She outfoxed Obama by marshalling enough forces to avoid a Democrat primary which probably would have resulted in a candidate like Gov. Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania leading the ticket against Trump. 

Kamala Was ‘Joy’ Candidate

Although Harris brought “joy” to the campaign, she was perhaps the worst presidential candidate in recent history. Her only major decision was picking an even-worse candidate as her Vice-Presidential pick with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Now, the Democrats were stuck with an obvious loser but it was better than senile Joe Biden. With help from media, marketers, and internet owners (plus a billion dollars), maybe they could pull off a miracle and get this group of pretenders elected? Plus, they duplicated the 2020 Biden basement strategy by making her unavailable to the cooperative mainstream media. 

You even saw our own zany Liz Cheney campaigning for Kamala. What a duo they made on the campaign trail! Instead of Batman and Robin, they looked more like Moe and Larry. Tim Walz played Curly.

Now in the wake of the monstrous election defeat, Kamala can join Liz on the sidelines of future politic efforts in electoral purgatory. That lame concession speech by Harris Wednesday was the last we will ever see of her. Harris, Walz, and Liz will move to that political twilight zone occupied by Sarah Palin, Dan Quayle, Mike Dukakis, and a host of other forgettable candidates.

So, that’s my take. I believe a whole bunch of reasonable American men and women had gotten a belly-full of the crazy woke progressive ideas – this was an administration where every silly idea needed to be given a full-fledged try. It was just a nutty time that drove ordinary people crazy.

Out here in Wyoming, we supported Trump by a larger margin than any other state in the country. And why? Because we are a common-sense place.

In his acceptance speech Trump called the folks who elected him “a common-sense coalition.”  Nicely said.

Our Election Quiz

 Last time we did an election quiz, the winner was Tom Lacock of Cheyenne.

This time, I wondered if it might be one of the very smart staff members of Cowboy State Daily. 

Six people finished with just one mistake. Nobody scored a perfect entry. The tie-breaker was who could guess the total number of votes in Wyoming Tuesday night.

CSD Managing Editor Greg Johnson guessed 270,000. The actual number of 271,043.

Others with just one miss were Executive Editor Jimmy Orr, Political Reporter Leo Wolfson, and Ad Director Todd Titus. Non-staff members John Gans of Lander, and Linda Golding of Dayton also had just one miss. 

Congratulations to you all.
