My Fearless Predictions on What Happens Next By Christopher Chantrill for American Thinker
Over a weekend of discussing politics with like-minded family, we of course discussed Trump and the mean tweets. Women don’t like mean tweets. Especially from their president. Because? Never mind.
Remember Ronald Reagan? Back when Ronald Reagan was building up to a presidential campaign he was broadcasting weekly opinion pieces in which he sounded pretty angry and determined to do something about it. When he was on the Carson Show he emitted corny one-liners, and everyone laughed. But when he became president he switched to an avuncular personality.
I wonder why? Do you think it was because he had a strategic mind and understood that the president is the father of his country? Or did he just want Clark Clifford to think he was “an amiable dunce?”

Doesn’t matter. And at one point “Saturday Night Live” did a skit where Reagan acted like an amiable uncle in public and an effective, nail-hard leader in private.
So, maybe Trump should have acted more avuncular in office and gotten reelected? Who knows? Maybe it is a good idea for the post-COVID period to be an opportunity for Democrats to self-destruct. Maybe the Trump experience is a suitable research project for the new generation of Republican leaders, from DeSantis to Youngkin, to help figure out how to offer themselves to the voters.
And when would be the best time to give the Woke-ologists enough rope to hang themselves? Right now, or after a second-term Trump?
I mean, wouldn’t it be great if the Progressive Caucus gets their heads handed to them later this month when it’s time to pass the reconciliation bill and the moderate Democrats are staring into the headlights of the onrushing 2022 midterms and refuse to vote for the spend-until-you-see-the-whites-of-their-eyes progressive agenda? And then the Democrats are really in a bind because they also have to extend the debt ceiling and pass the overall spending for 2022?
Think of what would have happened if Trump had won in 2020 and the House still remained Democrat-controlled with Nancy Pelosi determined to oppose him. Imagine a disastrous 2022 midterm for the second-term Trump, and then a Time for a Change election in 2024 with big Democrat majorities brimming with woke progressives in both Houses of Congress.
