One clear outcome of the U.S. election was the collapse of the promised ‘Blue Wave’ – an implosion that marks the ‘beginning of the end’ to a powerful spell enthralling the West. It was the delusion which Ron Chernow, the acclaimed U.S. presidential historian, gave credence, as he contemptuously dismissed America’s “topsy-turvy moment” as purely ephemeral, and a “surreal interlude in American life”: No longer can it be said that there is one ‘normal’. Win or lose the White House, Red Trumpism remains as ‘President’ for half America.
Biden, by contrast, served as the prospect for Restoration – a return to a hallowed consensus in American politics – to a reassuring ‘sanity’ of facts, science and truth. Biden, it was hoped, would be the agency over-lording a crushing electoral landslide that would terminate irrevocably Trump’s rude interruption of the ‘normal’. Biden supporters were rallied, Mike Lind, the American academic and author has observed, around the idea of America moving toward a ‘managed’ society – based on ‘science’ – that would be essentially finessed and controlled by a managerial, expert class.
Over time, Lind suggests, American society would begin to depart more, and more easily, from its republican roots, through a process already underway: via attempts to alter the Constitutional order, and other rules, to bring about a change in the way America is governed.
The notion however, of what America – as Idea – now constitutes, has fractured into two tectonic plates, moving apart in very different directions – and likely to move even further apart as each ‘plate’ remains convinced that ‘it won’ – and the sweetness of victory has been stolen.

Restoration of criminal control of our Republic, you mean. Jackass.
Trump signs and flags should remain up!
NFW.
Just leave me alone.
IS that too much to ask?
Apparently.
I completely agree, I just want to be left in peace, and my take from my conservative friends is the same, we just want the annoying and dangerous leftists to go away and leave us alone, where we can enjoy an existence of peace and prosperity. It is, apparently, too much to ask.
Leftists ruin everything they touch.
Only Trump is able to stop this epic con job.
How many other elections have these Democrats rigged and subverted?
Joe Biden, once a criminal, always a criminal.
Biden supporters were...
...nonexistent
Sobering
Ronald Reagan was still ‘President’ in my heart...until President Trump came along. ;)
To be honest, I wouldn’t trust them to not overstay their pass. They seem to think it’s perfectly ok for illegals to do it now.
I would not be surprised if at some point we end up like Ireland/Northern Ireland, but for political reasons and not religious ones.
President Asterisk.
Yes, but the point of the article is that we are 2 Americas. There is no reconciliation possible between the 2 factions. The US is probably heading for a split.
I am of the mind that there are more of us than there are of them, and that we will prevail.
So, do we get a CW II?
