Ignorance is Bliss

11/8/24

Lo and behold, the sun came up on November sixth despite the rantings of those with the malady, “Trump deranged syndrome”. They are not seeking treatment so the ranting will continue unabated and therefore, we have a choice to make. Do we continue to listen to their arguments so that we are educated sufficiently to know how to counter them, or do we simply ignore them? I’m choosing the latter.

I religiously digested leftist information. I read Politico, Huffington Post, Daily Beast, The Atlantic et al. I watched Morning Joe,  Jake Tapper, Nicolle Wallace and even Rachel Maddow (on occasion). I thought it imperative that I learn what the left thought in order to better understand my own positions. Truth is, I had a very hard time doing this and I question if I really retained much other than, “these people are crazy”. Invariably, I came away thinking everything they are saying about “us” is really commentary on themselves. They were the threat to democracy.

Thankfully, we had the outcome we did last Tuesday. It freed me from the grip of needing to know. I no longer have to understand the other side. They’re losers and continuing to wallow in their mire does me no good. I don’t care what they have to say anymore. The spewing of lies and general vitriol is no longer necessary as we now hold the keys to the kingdom. I will turn my full attention to the machinations of our new government where, as I have in the past, stayed abreast in order to assure that they too, do not get full of themselves. Yes, bye-bye leftist media. Go ahead and shout into the wind. I choose to be blissfully ignorant of your rants.
