President Trump: Republican Senators Should Object to Electoral College Votes

The power center of America is the elite university system. Everything in presidential politics revolves around it. Check the head to head contests between major candidates going back to Teddy Roosevelt (before him was the civil war generation, so I’ll take that as a natural turning point). There were only 2 candidates with a clearly (as far as coastal elites are concerned) lower personal college background reputation and who still managed to win. They were Reagan and Truman. Reagan vs Carter was Eureka vs USNA, but this was only a small upset because these coastal masters of the universe have only little respect for the elite military academies. Truman vs Dewey, little to no college vs Columbia, was a major upset. It was only made possible because Truman was an accidental president to begin with, so he had incumbency going for him that barely got him across the finish line, in a famous squeaker of a victory.

After Nixon, every Republican president’s Ivy league credentials were smeared, Ford (who of course was not elected president) was ridiculed as a jock from the University of Michigan before `attending’ Yale law (Michigan being one of those places where Ivy leaguers were all afraid they would have to go as a safety school), Bush Sr was ridiculed as being a dinosaur from before the meritocratic, post war, test baby epoch, and Bush Jr as being a legacy of another legacy. I believe that this silliness was what really caused Bush derangement syndrome. Finally, Trump was dismissed as being a mere transfer student into one of the lesser known Ivies and the elites do their best to ignore he had any connection at all (when they’re not spreading rumors that he cheated to get in). These are not my assessments of these presidents, but what clearly seem to be the assessments of our elite class.

The presidents of the modern era who I was taught to believe were `impressive’ almost invariably went to either Harvard, Yale or Princeton and, additionally, had kept intact their reputation on the basis of the purity of their admittance, whether deserved or not (and no-one deserves the tyrannical powers these elites have seized, however they did or did not get in). Those presidents who had less prestigious backgrounds were at best dismissed as mediocre or forgettable. I was not told where they went to college, these presidents. That would have been deemed vulgar by the snobs who push these conceited narratives. But they all check who’s who and pay very close attention even if we do not care about it.

It all goes back to the Ivy league, especially the Big 3 (and now perhaps a newcomer non-Ivy, Stanford, although Stanford and Duke, elite as they may be, were considered regional outsiders with regards to Hoover and Nixon in their own time). That is the real power center of America. That is the gateway to the connections around which all of our elites revolve. Either they `got in’ and what to jam that down our throats or they didn’t and they want revenge, or they got in the `wrong way’ and they try to compensate for that or they want to get their kids in etc. etc. It is not money they’re after. The `crown’ of America is that ever so elite university pedigree and nothing less. Once they’re in; they’re in, as the saying goes, and their maturity seems to stagnate at that very moment they receive their mystical acceptance letter. We are essentially being run by a bunch of aging teenagers reminding themselves that they got in, and we did not. They really do believe that we are their natural inferiors. That is their narrative, their fantasy. To be clear, I have never respected this elitist narrative. I think this college admittance game is utter, rank nonsense.

I’m sorry to be so longwinded, and I do hope that one or two people get to this part. We are being betrayed by so many of our fellow citizens, Rinos, and traitors, but not because of a lack of intellectual understanding of our arguments and not for the sake of money, but rather, because all they care about is advancing themselves in this Darwinian social contest of the fittest, and so that they may be welcome among the self anointed neo-aristocracy of the U.S. Through long and harsh experience, I have learned, as have so many of us have, that there is no real talking with such people, as they have already made up their minds. They observe us like you would an animal, as a pet, or as a study or as prey. We cannot back down in the face of this. We cannot be demoralized. Wherever the fight is, we have to stand firm in their way. If we disintegrate, whether through hatred or petulance or weariness or any other excuse, then we will be crushed. If we turn on each other and call each other losers to avoid facing the heat ourselves, then we cannot stand in their way. We have to decide whether our petty self-image and status is more important, or whether being responsible adults is. That is what so much of this comes down to.

The Senate and the House ought to back us, but they may not. The SCOTUS seems almost definitely lost. Public opinion is in the balance. The President has only limited options remaining, and it is not clear what will happen. I am still hopeful that we will come out of this with President Trump being sworn in on Jan 20.

But whatever comes of all of this, we cannot give up and turn on each other, or away from each other. Not now, and not in January, and come what may, not in what follows.

Another irrelevant waste of time, since it won’t change the fact that Biden won.
