While America went back to its common sense and elected President Trump based on the economy and freedom, assorted left, socialists and communists in the rest of the world are predicting post-election violence.

Violence by whom? By the street louts who trashed part of downtown LA a few nights ago and burned a bus because the LA Dodgers won the World Series in baseball?

For instance, after the election of 2016 when President Trump was elected for the first time, the editor-in-chief of Der Spiegel suggested on live German television an assassination in the White House. Two opponents of President Trump acted upon this suggestion unsuccessfully this year.

The left in our media was first incredulous and then it went apoplectic because of the results of the presidential election last night. Yet, the results were a confirmation of the debacle of the decadent left-wing ideas, the falsity of which we perhaps understand better than most after living under a communist regime for 30 years in the distant past.

Specifically, for instance, out of many similar issues, Americans intuitively understood that controlling the prices of groceries as stated in her economic plan by President Trump’s opponent was not only an economically faulty idea but it was the real reason for the demise of the communist regimes of Eastern Europe 35 years ago.

Thus, the United States can now go on to continue providing the highest standard of living ever achieved on Earth for the common man as it has always done in its history spanning 248 years.
