Will someone please explain to me why Oprah Winfrey ever commanded an audience of more than a half-dozen people? I’ll grant you that I’ve only seen clips of her television show, and I’ll also grant you that I understand Oprah’s target audience is urban and suburban women, not bearded old coots who live out in the woods in Alaska.
But, honestly, this election cycle seems to have made Oprah, along with many others on the left, completely unhinged, to the point where she’s shouting about some of the most outrageous flights of fancy. The latest – Oprah is warning people that a Trump victory will mean voters may not have the “…opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.”
During a campaign rally in Philadelphia on Monday night, billionaire Oprah Winfrey warned the crowd about the country’s future if Vice President Kamala Harris did not win the election against former President Donald Trump. The former talk show host cautioned that if voters did not turn out to support the vice president on Election Day, it could be the last time they ever cast a ballot.
“If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again,” Winfrey said.
Winfrey did not elaborate on this. However, there is nothing factual to suggest that, regardless of who wins the election, it will be the last chance for anyone voting in this year’s election to “ever cast a ballot again.” It might be something Winfrey believes but there is nothing truthful about such a claim.

Oprah. Chill pills. Take one.
Seriously, it’s hard to see what would give Oprah this notion, other than a healthy dose of Trump Derangement Syndrome. And that’s probably the answer because there’s no way she can support her hysterical claim here. It’s just not possible.
Does Oprah not remember that Donald Trump has already served one term as President of the United States? Does she not remember that he left office after, you know, an election? Can she point to anything Donald Trump or anyone in his circle has ever said to indicate that they would be attempting to seize dictatorial power?
The answer is “no” to all of these things, of course. She’s just blowing more hot air. Of course, she’s not alone in that regard; so much hot air has been blown by liberals and progressives in this election cycle alone, that it’s a tad surprising the oceans have not yet boiled away. Oprah has also contributed bigly to the earth’s supply of the stuff you find under the south end of a northbound horse.

Fine, Oprah, fine. Go ahead and fear-monger to your clueless audience. The rest of us will head to the polls and send Donald Trump back to the White House. And in 2028, we’ll go to the polls again, because there will be another election – and again in 2032, and 2036, and so on. Because that’s how our nation works, and if that system ever falls apart, it will be the left, not the right, that destroys it.
Also: There was a time when Oprah was much friendlier towards Donald Trump – and he was saying some of the exact same things he’s saying now. Check out this clip from 1988, and consider how much this sounds like Trump 2024. And Oprah stands there smiling and nodding.
