I’m sure I wasn’t alone in November 2024 wondering what the future would bring once the richest man in the world bought us a President. Together they promised change, and although of course we all hoped they could make magic happen, there were doubts. America was so very broken, so tarnished by the unchecked, unchallenged Deep State. Changing direction seemed impossible.
Oh, we of little faith … behold Elonica, risen like a phoenix from the ashes of our diminished democracy.
Our transition to Elonica has required such coordination, such assertive leadership, that it’s almost impossible to parse precisely why it has been so successful. I may have figured it out.
When the Founders set out to create a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, they believed that no single man – no king or sovereign – could be trusted to represent the will of the people. This made sense then. George III viewed us as just another money-making colony, existing primarily to enrich himself, his family, and his friends. We were a colonial start-up, a business venture, an IPO. After we fought for and won our independence, the Founders created a list of suggestions – our Constitution – designed specifically to transfer power from any single individual to the people as a whole. The federal government and the states checked and balanced each other. Three branches checked and balanced each other. Underpinning it all was the radical, misguided premise that the people would lead better lives if they were permitted to elect people to represent their interests.
For 249 years, America fumbled around trying to make this cumbersome, idealistic system work. Slavery. Universal public education. Trade. War. Immigration. Civil rights. Industrialization. Globalization. AI. Despite lofty language about “a more perfect union” and “a shining city on the hill,” despite the fact that we became the wealthiest nation on the planet, despite our status as leader of the free world, the truth is that America was failing. Failing bigly.
Since the landslide 1.5% victory in 2024, we have seen what is possible when we acknowledge that it’s time to move on from the quaint ideas of 1780. Back then, no one could conceive of a President like the current one, a man so knowledgeable about history and geography and science and philosophy and ethics and architecture and the Bible, funded by the richest among us. A businessman. A man of the people. A man who is willing at great personal cost to speak for the forgotten man. Truth is, we don’t need to check or balance this man. He knows what we need and how to get it for us. We need to get out of his way.
We’re fortunate that the Republican majorities in the House and Senate recognized this reality early. By handing our best-ever-in-our-history President the power of the purse – letting him decide whether and when he will spend our tax dollars in the ways that Congress voted – our representatives have unleashed our Golden Age. Our astute President has declared a dozen national emergencies, allowing him to levy tariffs, seek new relationships with friends and foes, use our peerless military to attack other countries, and – perhaps most importantly – rid our great nation of the brown people committing heinous crime while they vote illegally and sap our social resources.
In the face of such resounding leadership, checks and balances are quaint. Oversight is quaint. A free press (or shall I say “fake press?”) is quaint. Emoluments are quaint. Peaceable assembly is quaint. Debate is quaint. We’ve proven, in the 463 days since the 2024 election, that we don’t need these things anymore.
You know what else is quaint and no longer necessary? Elections. Think about it. We know that, unless the President and his chosen candidates win, the Radical Libs and their commando Antifa army will have succeeded in cheating again (if we can’t prove it we’ll still know it happened). Even the Founders recognized that the people could not be trusted to directly elect our leaders: they gave us the Electoral College as a primitive safeguard. Today, in 2026, after 250 years of awaiting a savior, we have our champion. Our country is freer and fairer than it’s ever been.
Elonica is never going to do any better. Let’s save ourselves some heartache, cancel the 2026 elections, finish the ballroom and the Giant Golden Arch(es?), and wallow in our Golden Age.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance.
