I am thrilled that President Trump won. Nothing could please me more, politically and spiritually speaking, than handing a defeat to the Democrats/cultural Marxists.

With a Kamala win, my freedom to live and speak openly as a Catholic likely would have evaporated, perhaps not to return in my lifetime.
Orthodox. Faithful. Free.
