My college-aged nieces here in Central Pennsylvania are freaking out this morning. They are liberal goodwhites, very much the stereotype of good-hearted but misguided, delusional liberal young, well-educated (and brainwashed) white women, bursting with suicidal compassion and wearing thick lenses that bias and distort their view of the world.

They have bought hook, line, and sinker the claims of the legacy media and their fellow Dems and progressives in their echo chamber that a new age of orange fascism is about to begin. “Handmaid’s Tale” kinda stuff.

America is unburdened by what has been!

In many respects the small community I live in is a microcosm of “progressive” jurisdictions across America, which makes sense because roughly half of residents are boomer American expatriates, a good many of them draft dodgers. Their political views were shaped in the 60s when extreme circumstances provoked extreme reactions. For most of them Canada was not a destination of choice but an escape hatch. A haven they knew little about.

I know dozens of them. Six from California. Two from Ohio. Two from Wisconsin. Two from Colorado. Two from Oregon. Two from Colorado. One from Indiana.... the list goes on. If I threw a stone 5O feet in the air it would have a good chance of falling on one of them..Their personal stories are interesting and varied. But a common thread runs through them. They live in a time warp. They have not moved on. The animus they had for assorted now-deceased Republican villains in their college days remains intact. The burning ember of anger and resentment that drove them here has not been extinguished. It is always there lurking beneath the surface. They cannot be characterizes as ‘liberal goodwhtes’ but illiberal angry-whites. In many cases they are like seniors who harbour anger toward the partners they broke up with a half century ago. I am painting a broad picture here, but it is largely accurate. Mere mention of Trump is incendiary. Someday in the distant future, perhaps, researchers will discover the cause of TDS. It is not uncommon or unnatural to hate a politician. Or despise him. But the obsessive allconsuming nature of this particular fixation confounds me. It is beyond hatred.

Yet American expatriate Trump haters are not exceptional. A majority of Canadian-born folks here hate the man as well. Most of them, especially women, love Kamala. In fact, I am the outlier, not them. They are among the 74% of island residents who voted for one of the two Far Left parties in the October election. The 26% of us who didn’t keep a low profile, for good reason. We tend to think that if we don’t give voice to our opinions, progressive bullies will forget that we exist. Some obviously have. They interpret silence as consent.

So when I went to the local supermarket on Wednesday, the morning after, it was like I walked into a morgue. In fact, the whole village seemed to be in mourning. People were downcast and sombre. It was reminiscent of the day when Kennedy was shot.

Subsequently, I took a walk along a seemingly deserted forest trail. The first and last person I encountered was a man in his late 70s whom I had seen before, but did not know. He greeted me with one remark, a question. It was not “good morning” or “How are you?” but “Well, did you drink away your troubles last night?”, Then he moved on without waiting for a reply. He assumed that I was as mortally depressed about Trump’s victory as he was. As everyone was. Everyone in his universe, that is. Echo Chamber Island.

I imagine that this kind of Group Think is characteristic of hundreds of other progressive enclaves in North America as well. And that, I think, accounts for the fact that progressives are so shocked about the scale of Trump’s victory. As some incisive pollsters report, a significant number of conservative voters feel so intimidated that they will even lie to pollsters about their intentions.

How did I feel? I was so ecstatic on Tuesday evening that I could not get to sleep until 3 am, woke up at 7 and remained buoyant and energized for the duration of the day.

I will remember to the end of my days the moment when the TV station I was watching called the winner. It was precisely 9:46 PM PST. It was the moment of deliverance. Deliverance from the tyranny of wokeism. I think my parents had that same feeling on VE Day.

As Churchill said after news of Rommel’s defeat at El Alamein, it was not the end, or the beginning of the end, but perhaps the end of the beginning. The totalitarian horde has been beaten back, and one can sense that we have turned a corner. Who knows. Once liberated, Americans might come to the rescue of Europeans trapped in tyranny, as they did eight decades ago. But I would prefer that they liberate Canadians first.

PS Unfortunately, deliverance from population overshoot, peak everything and ecocide is not on the horizon. And obviously it won’t be Trump or his team who will save us from those perils.
