Reflections on 2020 v. 2024

Watching the left’s agony over this election loss brings back memories of 2020.

Four years ago, Trump was leading solidly when I went to bed, well on his way to re-election. But by morning, everything had changed. We all remember it—millions of votes appeared as swing states simultaneously halted counting overnight, only to restart with just enough ballots to tip the scales for Biden in the days that followed.

I was devastated in 2020. I knew it would bring enormous suffering to the country and the people I cared about. Yet, even I couldn’t have anticipated the depths we’d reach—1,200 people murdered simply for being Jewish and hundreds more taken hostage, college protests with students screaming pro-Hamas slogans and Death to Jews and America, 20 million illegals crossing the border, soaring inflation and crime, a debt surge of $10 trillion, the relentless push of radical trans lunacy, and a culture so twisted that gender mutilation has become normalized. This wasn't just mismanagement; it was a systematic, intentional unraveling of the nation's fabric.

And yet, God works all things for good.

If we had managed to stop the 2020 steal and halt the massive election fraud, Trump’s term would have been plagued—impeachments, disloyal advisors, and the endless fallout from the pandemic and vaccine debacle. We wouldn’t have the allies we have now: no Elon, no RFK, and no “dream team” with voices like J.D. Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, Jen Callahan, and Ron Paul.

As they say, it’s always darkest before the dawn. Trump’s journey mirrors the Hero’s Journey, straight from Joseph Campbell—entering the cauldron only to emerge stronger, wiser, and more battle-tested. Out of the abyss and banishment, he and the movement that rose alongside him have become almost mythic. They’ve survived lawfare, assassination attempts, and relentless efforts to cancel them out of existence.

This victory, with control over the House, Senate, and popular vote, feels different—it’s fortified by the hard lessons learned, and it carries a mandate backed by a coalition stronger than before. Now, we stand ready not just to win, but to govern with conviction.

Sometimes you have to go thru the darkness to see and appreciate the light.

Lord, if we had things our way, we would have stopped the steal 4 years ago. However, in your immense wisdom, you allowed so much to happen for the good of your people. May the last 4 years be a wake up call for America and a continued call for integrity, honor and repentance. We know Romans 8:28 says, “All things will be used for good!”

May this time in history be used for the largest revival of our country and it’s people we have ever seen. Amen
