Fine commentary.
The change is absolutely necessary if the nation is to escape the banana republic death spiral.
Americans will simply need to adjust to a world without illegal aliens and NAFTA. Certainly it will cost a bit more to visit restaurants. But there's a silver lining: the youth of America has entry level jobs and the malaise of the inner city is treated.
Maybe you can't afford to go out and eat as often. Maybe there will be a resurgence of home cooking. In California, maybe the citizens will decide they are willing to pay more for food, but less for big state government.
(BTW, the housing situation in the Bay area is insane. My daughter is going to school there and is paying $800 for a tiny room and some common space with two roommates -- and her rent is going up soon.)
The Democrats will certainly adjust or their party will cease to be a national political force. The lefty temper-tantrums will surely end as people get bored and agitators like Boobamba are exposed as criminals and maybe even prosecuted. I haven't heard of a single neverTrumper moving to Canada as they promised.
The realities of life change, while painful at first, often open up new vistas. Possibilities never considered become new options.
A cornered animal lashes out at its attacker, then high-tails itself outta there fast. And it fully accepts its new territorial boundaries.
At its core, human life is still a rumble in the jungle. But a free, law-abiding Republic is still the best path to human prosperity, self-fulfillment, and brotherhood.
A great nation protects the individual, rewards those who deliver value to the common wealth, and respects its military and law enforcement heroes.
GO TRUMP! GO, ALL AMERICANS!
Beautiful. That IS a fine commentary. It clearly distinguishes the competing camps....we, the people, vs the elitists.
"Elitist" as when candidate Hillary actually said on video: "deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed” in response to the leaked Catholic Spring emails.
The disdain Clinton and her team heaped upon believers and the trashing of religion had a huge effect on voters, IMHO.

REFERENCE WikiLeaks emails appears to show Hillary Clinton’s campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri joking with a confidant about Catholics and evangelicals in emails sent to John Podesta, chairman of Clinton’s campaign.
Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri, who ran communications for the liberal think tank Center for American Progress that Podesta founded, responded to emails from think tank fellow John Halpin who noted a 2011 report in the New Yorker about News Corp chief executive Rupert Murdoch and Wall Street Journal managing editor Robert Thomson raising their children Catholic.
“Many of the most powerful elements of the conservative movement are all Catholic (many converts) from the [Supreme Court] and think tanks to the media and social groups,” Halpin wrote in the 2011 email, according to WikiLeaks.
“It’s an amazing bastardization of the faith. They must be attracted to the systematic thought and severely backwards gender relations and must be totally unaware of Christian democracy.”
Palmieri responded that she believes Murdoch, Thomson and many other conservatives are Catholic because they think it’s “the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion.” “Their rich friends wouldn’t understand if they became evangelicals,” she wrote. Podesta did not respond in the email thread.
