‘Trump’s America’: Comeback Victory Signals a Different Kind of Country

Donald Trump has won the 2024 presidential election. Follow live updates and results.

In her closing rally on the Ellipse last week, Kamala Harris scorned Donald J. Trump as an outlier who did not represent America. “That is not who we are,” she declared.

In fact, it turns out, that may be exactly who we are. At least most of us.

The assumption that Mr. Trump represented an anomaly who would at last be consigned to the ash heap of history was washed away on Tuesday night by a red current that swept through battleground states — and swept away the understanding of America long nurtured by its ruling elite of both parties.

No longer can the political establishment write off Mr. Trump as a temporary break from the long march of progress, a fluke who somehow sneaked into the White House in a quirky, one-off Electoral College win eight years ago. With his comeback victory to reclaim the presidency, Mr. Trump has now established himself as a transformational force reshaping the United States in his own image.

Populist disenchantment with the nation’s direction and resentment against elites proved to be deeper and more profound than many in both parties had recognized. Mr. Trump’s testosterone-driven campaign capitalized on resistance to electing the first woman president.

And while tens of millions of voters still cast ballots against Mr. Trump, he once again tapped into a sense among many others that the country they knew was slipping away, under siege economically, culturally and demographically.

To counter that, those voters ratified the return of a brash 78-year-old champion willing to upend convention and take radical action even if it offends sensibilities or violates old standards. Any misgivings about their chosen leader were shoved to the side.

“ No. It was resistance to electing THAT woman president. “

Go to YouTube, search on “female meltdown”. Some are very entertaining.

[TalBlack]

Different all right! A country that puts no stock in anything the NY Times says.

[Openurmind]

Important note... The GOP no longer belongs to the arrogant, overconfident, backstabbing establishment anymore. This had better be a wake up call and they better heed it well.

[Gene Eric]

I woke up today thinking it was 1983.

[Frank Drebin]

To the New York Times and all other socialists in this nation. Your long march to enslave humanity to your despotic and tyrannical ideals ends here at the shores of America.

We have dealt with your kind many times before and are doing so again. The people of this Republic will never accept you. You were rejected en masse on Tuesday, November 5th 2024. America has now claimed the 5th of November as a new holiday to remember forever.

[bigbob]

Yeah, it does. One that thinks the New York Times, WSJ, USA Today and all the alphabet TV/cable media is fulla shit.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"Not wanting to be defeated again in this terrosteron-driven electoral, Democrats will pick Mike Obama as their candidate."

Touche'

Exactly, they were more Queen Jezebel.

“...resistance to electing the first woman president”

America (most of it anyway) does not vote on whether someone has a vagina or not.

[Alas Babylon!]

Yup. It had NOTHING to do with Kamala the woman, but rather Kamala the Leftist democrat.

The Red Wave means no to Woke Leftism. Buh-bye!

[Redplum]

I see what you did there.

Very clever, well done!

[Orosius]

Kinda fitting that it was Guy Fawkes Day.

[beethovenfan]

“Ruling elite”. There’s the problem.

[grumpygresh]

Although NYT rejects Biblical prophecy, their belief in “progress” does fit in closely with the rise of one world government and the Antichrist.
Trump’s election won’t prevent this prophecy from being fulfilled eventually, but he can slow it down.

[Alas Babylon!]

Dude, how can you define women as only having vaginas? What about all those Transgenders playing women sports and in women’s prisons?

C. S. Lewis: “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.”

[Spacetrucker]

Either of which I would vote for.

[AndyJackson]

Guy Fawkes Day

You mean election deiers. What would you think if the FBI discovered a plot to blow up the US Capitol building. Any democracy loving American would be horrified that a bunch of right wing bitter clingers would ever conceive of such an antidemocratic racist terrorist plot.

[PGalt]

Thanks for the link Dick Bachert. Great video. BUMP!

“the long march of progress,”

Inflation. An invasion at the border. Foreign gangsters taking over cities, killing Americans with smuggled drugs, raping, killing Americans and raping children. Cities burned down by democrat party terrorist front groups. Colleges teaching pure hatred of America. Russian, Chinese, and Iranian aggression. Children being butchered at the altar of chomo groomer perverts. I could go on and on. If that’s Democrat part progress the world will certainly burn.
