As Americans head to the polls this Election Day, the candidates made their closing arguments. I don't think I've seen such a stark difference in tone and outlook between candidates in any election since I cast my first vote for James Earl Carter. The candidates offer a clear and bright-line choice between hope for a better tomorrow for us and for our children and abject fear of reality.

Fear has been a Democrat staple for ages. They portrayed Ronald Reagan as a warmongering madman; truth be told, a broad swath of the American right would have held that view had they been alive in 1984. Paul Ryan was going to strap Granny into her wheelchair and send her off the cliff to reduce Social Security costs. 

The shift from political fear porn to cultural fear porn probably took place around 2020 when overweight, hirsute leftist women cosplayed as a crowd scene from The Handmaid's Tale.

Oprah Winfrey took to the stage in Philadelphia last night to warn the crowd that this could be the last election ever.

Oprah says a Trump win means “it is entirely possible that we will never have the opportunity to cast a ballot again”

Meanwhile, no one voted to make Kamala Harris the democrat party’s nominee.

If we don't show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.

The last time this was used, it was directed at Black voters. Expanding it to everyone shows a degree of imagination I hadn't expected.

This ad from Leftist group “Seed the Vote” is the craziest shit I’ve ever seen 😂. What a bunch of unhinged lunatics.

I have to admit that the idea of a 35-year JD Vance presidency, an immortal Elon Musk, and aging leftists sitting in a circle eating dirt has some appeal, but I digress. The bottom line is that the left is trying to convince them to be afraid of things that have zero chance of happening and is giving them nothing to vote in favor of other than retaining a society that they all agree is racist, classist, and unfair.

Trump's closing message has been one of hope, confidence, and, yes, inclusion.

I agree with my colleagues that Trump has the wind at his back today. He's the first GOP candidate to be this close to his opponent in national polls since 2004. He is in great shape to take two of the Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin troika. The message he's offering and the tone of his campaign all say that he's in this to win rather than Harris' strategy of staying out of sight and playing to "not lose." None of that matters, though, if you don't get out there today and vote.
