Limbaugh Perfectly Sums Up The Real Reason Trump Won — And Why The Left Won’t Face It

The day after Donald Trump’s historic upset of the “inevitable” Hillary Clinton, Rush Limbaugh took to the radio waves to help out all the left-wing “Drive-By” media struggling to understand what they had just witnessed — though they probably weren’t thrilled to hear his summary of the seismic defeat of the Democratic candidate.

“Liberalism, Big Government, whatever you want to call it, was told to take a hike,” said the famous radio host. “The policies of Barack Obama… Name them: Obamacare, the Iran deal, open borders, immigration, everything. It was as specific an election outcome as I have seen in my life. Nothing nebulous here. Nothing hard to see. Nothing hard to figure out. It’s right in front of everybody’s eyes. Some people just don’t want to see it, or they do see it and they’re scared to death and want to try to make it about something else.”

Among the many realities the Left was unwilling to accept, explained Limbaugh, was that Trump’s “movement” was not just real but based on real, substantive issues — something liberals and the media were unable to see because of their personal judgment of Trump and obsession with political correctness.

“The crowds at Trump’s rallies were real,” said Limbaugh. “They were based on issues. Trump was substantive. These people never took the time to actually listen to what Trump was saying. They were too busy being offended that Trump was saying offensive things about people and protected groups because of political correctness. So they never even really took the time to listen to what he was saying. They’d already made up their mind he’s a bigot. They already made up their mind he’s gauche and boorish and embarrassing, and it never bothered them an iota that they never really knew what he was saying and standing for, and that’s why they’re shocked last night and today. They can’t understand it. They can’t understand why this country would vote for such a reprehensible scum human being.”

But, Limbaugh noted, Trump’s supporters do not see him the way the Left see him. They see him as “the embodiment of what they believe” — which is, not some racist, xenophobic nationalism, but, in fact, a hopeful vision of what America was, is, and can be again.
“This country should not ever look to its past and say, ‘Those were the good old days.'”

“[W]hat they believe is this country should not ever be in decline,” he said. “This country should not ever look to its past and say, ‘Those were the good old days.’ America’s best day is tomorrow, and next week, and next month. That’s what everybody living in this country wants it to be, and they don’t want to be led by people who don’t see the country that way. They don’t want to be led by people who see the country populated by a bunch of incapable, incompetent, sad-sack victims. This has always been a nation of doers. This is a nation of people who can and want to do. They don’t want to sit around and be among the 94 million not working. They do not want to have to view their government as Santa Claus. It was clear as a bell what happened last night.”

Limbaugh underscored that this was absolutely an ideologically-driven election. Despite the pundits’ attempts to dismiss the role ideology played in the Trump vote, El Rushbo stressed that “we’re not beyond ideology at all because the left is purely and totally ideological!” The Democrats and the Left have become “a bunch of community organizing left-wing rabble-rousers,” said Limbaugh. “There’s no up or down about them! There is nothing but far-left and further-left, and so far left they’re out of sight.”

Trump and his ardent following instinctively recognized the danger this posed and beat it back.

“Whether he knew he was defeating the left or not, I don’t care,” he said. “He was standing up against what has been happening. He was standing up against liberalism. He was standing up against the apparently unstoppable encroachment of the left on this country — and whatever his instincts are, he knew and knows it’s not good. It’s leaving people behind. It is leaving a nation in tatters, a nation in decline, and the people who run the Democrat Party seem to be very comfortable with that, because it’s a means of securing their power over an increasingly dependent population. That’s not how Donald Trump sees America.”

Perhaps the most heartening takeaway from the election, Limbaugh suggested, was that it was proof that those who believe in the greatness of this country are “not outnumbered” like the Left would have us believe.

“We didn’t lose the country. We haven’t lost the country,” he said. “It was demonstrated last night. We are not outnumbered.

What happened last night was a beautiful thing.”
