CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 22, 2034
THE ELECTION IS TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY IF YOU HAVEN’T NOTICED AND THE RHETORIC IS BECOMING WHITE HOT. AND NOT JUST FROM THE TWO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
THE MAJOR MEDIA IS IN COMPLETE MELTDOWN OVER THE PROSPECT THAT DONALD TRUMP MIGHT ACTUALLY WIN.
THE WASHINGTON POST YESTERDAY HAD EVERY STORY AND EVERY ONE OF ITS COLUMNISTS HYPERVENTALATING ABOUT TRUMP. BUT AS A WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL NOTED, ATLANTIC MAGAZINE MAY HAVE TOPPED THEM ALL: “A WRITER FOR THE ATLANTIC TAKES THE HYPERBOLE PRIZE,” THE NEWSPAPER SAID, “ WITH A HEADLINE THAT SAYS MR. TRUMP IS TALKING LIKE HITLER, STALIN AND MUSSOLINI. WHY LEAVE OUT CHAIRMAN MAO” IT ASKS.
I WAS ONCE CALLED A FASCIST BY SOMEONE I HAD NEVER MET AS WE WALKED IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS THROUGH AN AIRPORT. I RESPONDED “YOU CAN’T EVEN SPELL THE WORD.”
DO I WISH THERE WERE MORE SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES BEING DISCUSSED? YES, I DO, BUT VOTERS APPEAR SET IN THEIR WAYS. MANY FEAR MORE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF KAMALA HARRIS AND TIME WALZ WIN – INCLUDING GREATER INFLATION, THE BORDER REMAINING OPEN, MORE ATTACKS ON WHAT’S LEFT OF DECENCY INCLUDING MALES IN FEMALE SPORTS, NO STEMMING OF ABORTIONS, AND TRANSGENDERISM BEING DECLARED AS NORMAL. AND THAT’S JUST FOR STARTERS. THESE PEOPLE WANT TO TURN AMERICA INTO SODOM AND GOMORRAH. WE ARE ALREADY WELL ON OUR WAY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
