I’ve noticed there are people on social media, some of whom I like and respect, who are refusing to acknowledge the likelihood of a Biden inauguration come January.

Now, most of the other people doing this are emotionally driven idiots up to their neck in confirmation bias. I have no pity for them because they are just as delusional, in their own way, as the hard left. They want to substitute their over the top emotions for facts. Granted, charlatans like Sidney Powell and Lin Wood are helping them along and making a fast buck in doing so. Some, like newly disgraced Mike Flynn, are insanely supporting an imposition of martial law in their quest for political revenge. He and they are only mirror images of the “not my president” and TDS lunatics on the Left. They deserve each other.

But there are others who are sincere intelligent patriots who can’t accept extant reality either. I think it’s for one overwhelming reason: They are good people who cannot accept that the bad guys won.

Not that we should like it or we can’t come back to fight another day. But in this particular battle the Democrats won. Yes, it was by cheating. Yes, it was unfair. Yes, it was a mockery of a democratic election. And yes, by all of that they still won the presidency. The problem with my friends is that they are too honorable to personally accept that one can profit through dishonorable behavior. Most of them have never been in politics as a profession. I have.

And if you have been in the game as a pro, not a dabbler, not a chuffed up volunteer, but if you’re paying the bills by it, then you know bad guys win in politics, a lot. However, those outside of professional politics who are honorable people may find that hard to fathom because it strikes at the core of their moral code. That evil can triumph over good in something so important upsets their psychic apple cart and so they withdraw into denial. Some of them at noon on January 20th, just like the Left of four years ago, will be denying the man taking the oath of office won the election and is is chief executive. And you know, fine. If they really don’t believe it but are only doing it for payback and to tick off the Left, good on them. The problem is, some of them will actually believe it.

I can hear the canards already. My favorite is sellout. Ummm, whom did I sell to and what was the price? In a free market system I should have received some recompense for my supposed editorial apostasy. Where are the Davos invitations, the box seats at the Kennedy Center, the tidy sum deposited into my Swiss account? Uh huh. Yup. Thus my major reward in this rebel endeavor, aside from the intrinsic fun of rebellion, is writing intelligent analysis and letting the chips fall where they may. Not as fun Davos would be (think of the Happy Hour), but it’ll do in a pinch.
