Victor Davis Hanson says this is a counter-revolution to retore normalcy, not a revolution, in his usual elegant manner.
For MAGA to be successful the crazies must be purged from government and positions of power in both the private and public sector.
And at least some of them must be imprisoned
I’ve been thinking about this. Trump is really being provocative. So is Musk. Neither are behaving as if we will ever go back to Obama/Biden type democrat rule again. Not sure what they have in mind but it feels like there are big changes in store for America. It’s not just a return to normalcy or pre-Obama America, it’s potentially profound change.
The biggest thing is now how many people are aware of what has been going on.
Obama and his crew were doing even more drastic things, but the media covered for them, so that Americans weren’t even aware of what they are doing.
The Trump Administration is by far the most transparent administration we have ever had. And yes, it will reveal some warts, but overall, it’s worth it.
People are aware that the country is not what it appeared to be and has been this way more or less for a long time. I’m sure it feels disorienting for a lot of people, like waking up from a bad dream. People are also angry.

Restoring normalcy and a recovery operation. It will take time... as the damage was done over a long period of time, but we have already seen solid, steady, and yet, swift progress made re: reversing years or even decades of leftist destruction of our nation. Kudos to Trump and his excellent team of all-stars.
“Not sure what they have in mind but it feels like there are big changes in store for America. It’s not just a return to normalcy or pre-Obama America, it’s potentially profound change.”
Considering how far Left the voters REALIZE that the Democrats are (they no longer can get away with hiding it), the Democrat Party is flirting with becoming a 35% party, which effectively makes them as likely to hold political power as the Libertarians.
Yet there has to be PLENTY of Democrats who still want political power and will do whatever is needed to get that power. Which leads to some tough decisions have to be made. Basically, the two options for the Democrats in this group are to jettison their base, or to form a Third Party. In both options, the idea would be to try to regain normal people, who are now no longer welcome in that party.
So yes, if Trump can keep up the momentum, you may well see huge changes in the Democrat Party.
” - - so that Americans weren’t even aware of what they are doing.”
Many Americans aren’t even aware that their favorite boy, obama, was a leader in the near downfall of America. Many Republicans are not aware that Bush II is a leftist.
The more corruption that is uncovered and put out there by the non-MSM, the more people will be waking up to what’s been going on since Clinton was President.
And let’s go back to LBJ. What will the JFK files reveal? Did this lefty have a part in JFK’s killing?
The corruption goes back a long ways. Probably to FDR.
In order to prevent democrats from ever taking power again it will take more than bad poll numbers. We hear this type of thinking after every “change” election, that the other party is finished for good. That never seems to be case. They were saying the same things about the republican party after Obama’s landslide victories.
Deep systemic changes will be required to prevent the democrats from taking power again. Hopefully they are already afoot. The whole system must be reformed, elections, propaganda news, institutions, the republican party, everything. Can it be done? Maybe it’s already a done deal. Trump and Elon seem to think so.
As things worsen for Democrats, they will switch party and become RINO’s. We saw it with Reagan and we will begin to see it again pretty soon. The Republican Party best be careful, or the RINO’s will wind up back in charge and the status quo will be resumed. “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty”.
“Many Republicans are not aware that Bush II is a leftist.”
The pics of Bush 43 hugging on the Obamas and Clintons should be enough for people to figure it out. “Islam is a religion of peace” tops it all off.
“And let’s go back to LBJ. What will the JFK files reveal? Did this lefty have a part in JFK’s killing?”
The lefty LBJ? Could be. What about the lefty Bush 41? I know he wasn’t Director of the CIA when JFK was killed, but it seems that he was connected in some way when JFK was killed.
Yes, the damage has been ongoing for decades.
Profound change is necessary of we are to avoid going back, and it must be overwhelmingly positive for all, also.
I agree.

It may be too much to hope for but maybe most Americans will realize that government is a criminal organization and that it really needs to be small, and weak and poor and limited in the future. The federal government can run the courts (but make them do it better) and they can run the military (but let’s bring the troops home) and (I guess) they can deliver letters through the Post Office. But that’s about it.
Craziness has become the new normal.... for some people
Well, I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s... craziness proved dangerous, costly and dysfuntcional then, too
