How PolAms voted and why?

Interviewed by Robert Strybel, Warsaw Correspondent

Pre-election estimates suggested that from two-thirds to three-quarters of Polish-American voters were Trump supporters. However, until the Piast Institute of Hamtramck, MI or some other research unit produces a credible study, all we know is that Polish-American voters overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump. But so did the rest of America. It would seem premature therefore to speak of a Polonian voting bloc when PolAm voters simply tapped into the spirit of the times and went with the flow. Here is a handful of reactions:

“Personally, Donald Trump’s victory made me very happy, and I know many people who felt the same way,” remarked BARBARA BLIŃSKA of New Britain, CT. She added: “In fact, I don’t have many friends who think differently.”

LORAINE LYZOHUB-JONES, who lives in a Detroit suburb, joyously proclaimed: “America is in love with Trump. While he was President, America was the safest and most prosperous in its history. The mainstream media is just the propaganda arm of the fascist Dems and does not reflect Americans. Trump’s rallies were the largest in history. Kamala had to pay and bus in people to her rallies. She had rich celebrities supporting her, people who did not feel the pain of

high prices and high crime.

“Aside from being delighted, I can only say that I fail to understand how the Democrats chose such a seriously flawed candidate,” remarked CHRISTINA (“KRYSIA”) GUTT of Rochester, NY. “I can’t believe that in the entire party there was not one person – man, woman or whatever; black, white, brown or purple; young or old – who would not have been a far better choice. The apparatchiks have only themselves to blame for their loss.”

JOANNA RYGIER of Philadelphia said: “Everybody in the Polish neighborhoods here voted for Trump. He knows what he’s doing and is respected. The Harris lady was vice-President for four years and did nothing about the illegal immigrants. Trump will fix that.”

According to “JOSEPH REDLŃSKI of Buffalo, NY “Here in Buffalo all the Polish people I know voted Republican. Back in the day, the Democrats used to be for the working man, but over the years they have lost touch with ordinary Americans. Now they are more for West Coast celebrities and radical liberals. Trump may be a multi-billionaire, but he has not lost the common touch.”

DONALD PIENKOS of Whitefish Bay, WI touched on all the main points of the campaign and concluded that: “The predominant issue was the state of the economy. The border issue, January 6, Trump himself, the abortion debate, sadly even Ukraine and NATO all proved to be of lesser or even little consequence. Voters had long ago made up their mind about the state of the economy –- only 23% percent thought it had fared well under Biden. Harris was stuck, tied to Biden and was punished by the voters. The whole party took a big hit as well.”

“We all deserve a “pat” the back that our prayers were heard and Donald Trump was elected the 47^th President of the United States. It helps greatly that  the Republicans have the majority in the House of Representatives and in the Senate,” remarked THOMAS SOSNOWSKI of Pontiac, MI.

Chicagoan CHRISTINE MATUSZCZAK exclaimed: “We took our country back with Donald Trump leading the way, with God’s help and Divine Intervention. President Trump will undo all the evil that started with Obama and festered all these years under his manipulation. We are back, God is back, our country will be safe again, I can breathe again!”

“I am a conservative and a registered Republican” is how THERESE PENCAK SCHWARTZ of Westłake Village, CA identified herself. “Trump’s personality is just too disgusting! Only time will tell whether he will be a remarkable president or not. I agree with some of his issues, but I still find him creepy. I admire Elon Musk very much. His support for Trump gives me some confidence that the new president will not totally destroy democracy or bankrupt our country. I am an optimist, so I feel fine with the country’s decision.”

“According to the media, Kamala was destined to win, but God had other plans for our country, noted SISTER MARY THOMAS of Rochester Hills, MI. “True, Mr. Trump has many character flaws but he’s right on the issues that count. We must continue to pray that the new administration will govern in accordance with Christian principles and for the good of all. There are so many good people in our midst; for them we give thanks, but most of all, we give thanks for God’s Providential care and guidance.”

“I was very happy that Trump won,” said ANNA KOWAL of Chicago. “We need someone with business skills that will look after the economy, not smiling celebrities or other ‘beautiful people.’ Trump will send border crashers back where they came from, put lawbreakers in jail and not lead the country to ruination.”

As MACIEJ TOMASZEWSKI of Raleigh, NC put it: “I and most other Polish people around here voted for Trump because of what he did as president. He brought industries back to America, unemployment was very low and he made an effort to stop the flow of illegals from Mexico. People remember that and voted accordingly.”

“All else is a bunch of nonsense if they (the Democrats) steal the House of Representatives” was the concise and to-the-point reply of GARRY JONES of Livonia, MI, who has Polish roots despite his incongruously-sounding surname.“
