With the
developments in the geopolitical scene in the last 24 hours, the world seems to
have evolved drastically. There’s a high degree of anti-incumbency and an
anti-establishment and the world’s “greatest” democracy has indeed given a
telling verdict.

Where do
the the leftists go wrong? How did they lose so much ground?
Even if you
drag this point closer home, we had an unprecedented majority by a non-congress
party in the 2014 general elections where there was a lack of leadership and a
strong anti-incumbency wave that led to the toppling of the Grand Old Party of
India.
Coming back
to America, I have no compunctions in admitting that Donald Trump’s campaign
was more clear and focused compared to her Democratic contender’s. The epicenter
of Hillary Clinton’s campaign was mud slinging and targeting Trump as a war monger
maverick with a disheveled lifestyle and an apolitical demeanor. Trump, though
being a sexist bigot and with no respect for written word, focused on global
issues like radical Islam, refugee crises and the lack of employment for
Americans.

The
generation we thrive in today is very different from the dynamics two decades
ago. The current crop is selfish and doesn’t mind in admitting that it is
selfish. They believe in action and not just the intent. Trump was vociferous
and blunt in his speeches against ISIS and against illegal migration. He was
against the aggression of China and pro- Russia. He focusses on local job
creation and not bowing down. His claims are huge and though some cynics might
argue that they are merely claims, I would say that atleast he made those
claims whereas Clinton’s only claims were that Trump is a bad man unfit to
reside in the White House.
The
evolution of an average American voter has been something no short than
miracle, where in he sees correctness in being politically incorrect.
Democrats, who are touted to be liberals and against social conservatism have
not been beaten by the ideology but also by their hypocrisy. When you adopt a
tough stance on an issue like terrorism and then you maintain affable relations
with terror states, the citizens see it. When you claim to fight for equality and
transparency but are got
The leftist
ego has surely gone for a toss and the result is a slap on their pseudo
national intellects. The media also has been biased against Trump. They
tarnished Trump to an extent no presidential candidate has been in the history
of the USA. Hillary was projected as a social and a political elite who might
be a “little” corrupt and untrustworthy but better than Donald Trump. I mean,
what the hell.

If Trump is
a misogynist, how did he get elected. Women voted for him inspite of voting for
a woman who had a more illustrious political career. Donald’s Trump’s choice of
words is worth criticism, he calls spade a spade and doesn’t mince his words. I
wonder his conduct going to be once he assumes office.
Why are we
so hateful and despicable of Trump? The issue is not that Donald Trump is a
misogynist, but that why is it incorrect to be blunt of radical Islam? Aren’t
the Islamic clergymen the biggest misogynists on the face of the earth? Why should we allow a certain section of the
society to abuse the national sentiment in the name of human rights?
Americans,
it is time we don’t jump the gun and give our judgment on Donald Trump. He can
be a pioneer of a stern and uncompromising wave change in America. Let us
accept his presidency with open arms and without any prejudice. It is time to
respect the majority and the democratic paradigm and
Coming to
the rise of the right in India. The intellectually vacuous leftists who eulogize
Burhan Wani, Afzal Guru, Maoists, Zakir Naik and terrorists have succumbed to the
right wave of citizens who eulogize nation and the army. The section who salute
the martyrs and value their sentiments, who want the voice of the majority not
go unheard, who are apprehensive of the unleashing of radical Islam in India
and the suppression of Hinduism are finding a friend in the incumbent government.
And there is nothing wrong in it.
As an
Indian too, one is bound to feel the impact of impact of the presidency because
of the brain drain and educational/ professional migration. We seek the
American intervention of the UNSC membership and nuclear warfare. Lets all
refute the media and see what Donald Trump does for the nation. His campaign did
talk highly of Hindus and it is rational to be optimistic and accept the ideal
of democracy.
