Twitchy VIP readers, I'm BaaaAAAaack!
I am so happy to be writing again. I have had a lot going on. My oldest daughter got married, and then I was quite sick for several weeks leading up to the election, plus the day after the election, I took a little trip to a little place across the pond we call London.
For those of you who follow me on X, you know how exciting that is for me. It was like being at the NERD Super Bowl. I went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour and it was so cool! But I digress, Even though I could write 4 pages on my NERD dream vacation I want to tell you about what I noticed that the media does not tell us.

From all of the media and entertainment I consume, I assumed people there would hate us just because we are American and I really thought they would hate us for electing Donald Trump. Surprisingly that was not the case. The first thing that is very different there is they all just think you will openly talk about who you voted for and why. Every shop owner, every Uber driver, even people just walking down the street would hear our accents and say: 'AMERICANS!! - What did you think of the election?'
They were also very vocal about what they thought, and they were as divided as America. It was a 50/50 chance if they loved or hated Trump but even those who did not like Trump were not nearly as rabid and upset as the Left in the USA.
This trip was a mother-daughter trip with my youngest, 2 of her oldest friends and their mothers. I did not know either of the mothers very well but before the trip, we all put out guidelines that we would not talk politics. We were evenly divided in our votes 3 Harris and 3 Trump but They did not know that. My daughter was a secret Trump vote, and they all thought I voted Libertarian as I had in a few past elections.
When people would ask if we were happy about the election, the answer was usually 'We are split in this group so some of us are happy and some of us are not.' It was always tense though. Being an introvert, I did not want to deal with politics and people at the same time! I talk about politics regularly on the internet but I actually avoid talking about it IRL and on Facebook where I know people. I do not avoid it out of shame, I avoid it because I try to be a mostly polite human and it makes me feel like I am rude if I make people I know to be mostly decent humans look stupid, and we all know making Leftists look stupid is very easy!
BACK TO LONDON! One gentleman heard one of us point out a vegetarian cafe to one of the friends and he yelled at the top of his lungs 'Don't be a vegetarian eat a pig! GO TRUMP!' and I had to laugh. Actually just about everyone in the vicinity laughed except for the Harris voters in the group. *SNORT*
Another woman was selling jewelry at a street market and she had the girls captivated for a good 30 minutes while she told them why the Left is a bunch of hypocrites and why the USA is the only hope for the Western world. Watching them listen to her was kind of awesome. That talk moved at least two of the girls. My daughter who was the secret Trump vote came home from this trip saying she appreciated America and the blessings we have even more than she had before the vacation. The other young lady did not say much but she seemed touched and moved by the jewelry maker.
The people who wanted Harris seemed to think it was obvious why they wanted her but they were not rude or acting like we were evil for not agreeing. It was really quite the opposite of what I had assumed would be the case. My daughter left London proud of her vote and actually chanted USA, USA, USA once we landed back in America. I love her. haha
Anyway, all of that is to say, I learned that the Left in the United States is much worse than I thought. 80% of them do not seem to be able to have a normal conversation without pulling politics into everything, they can not seem to disagree with your politics but still be friendly. The people I traveled with were able to do that fine and I was happy about that, but I wish the Left in general could take a small lesson from the Londoners. They should be able to state their point but still be friendly and able to talk about something other than politics once they know we disagree. This used to be a skill we all had, but the Left has radicalized young people to the point where they are unable to even speak to their own family members without making a scene. Some to the point of posting on social media how they have officially stopped speaking to thier parents or siblings over a Trump vote. It is sad.
Watching how they melted down while we were gone was wild. Shaving heads, crying, yelling. It is too much. The Left needs to get back to basics, allow people to disagree, and have normal discussions without the stunts and the hypocrisy. Anyway, I just wanted to say I am back, I had a wonderful time, and from my experience, the whole of England does not hate us, even those who disagree just dislike our politics but they do not seem to wish death upon us and our descendants for the next 100 years. I doubt they would ever try to get us fired from our jobs or SWAT our homes for our politics if they had the chance.
It was quite an interesting trip. I am glad I got to see it, and I am VERY glad to be back home.
AMERICA! Blessed to have been born here and so happy Kamala is not going to be our President in 2025.
As my daughter said as we landed back home: USA! USA! USA! God Bless America!
