TRUMP HAS BEEN ELECTED
BUT THE LEFT ISN’T DONE
It’s fascinating to observe the change in atmosphere now that Trump’s victory is confirmed and he’s headed for his historic non-consecutive second term.
The sense of gloom which, before the election, had been pervasive, has lifted — if not entirely, at least markedly so.
Where talk of a new Cold War, of basement fallout shelters, and of stockpiling food had made it seem like the duck-and-cover 1950s were coming back, now we have foreign leaders heaping their congratulations on The Donald and consulting him as if he were already in office.
Silicon Valley tech wizards are sitting down with him for lunch at Mar-a-Lago. Mark Zuckerberg has promised an overhaul of Facebook censorship policies and recruited a Trump supporter for his board.
Major media outlets are reevaluating their left-leaning editorial policies.
Democrat strategists are admitting their party has lost touch with its base.
Even Progressive poster girl, Rep. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is striking a (modestly) conciliatory pose. AOC recently told Punchbowl News…
“The reason why I think oftentimes Democrats occasionally lose elections is because we’re too reflexively anti-Republican, and that we don’t lean into an ambitious vision for working-class Americans strongly enough.”
MAGA influence has even been felt north of the border. The government of Canada is in collapse, as the annoyingly lefty Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation as prime minister and Liberal Party head.
America is back, Baby!
Sort of.
