Trump Won. Now What? (Mega Barf)
The Atlantic ^ | Nov 6, 2024 | David Frum

Posted on 11/06/2024 4:11:32 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

Donald Trump has won, and will become president for the second time. Those who voted for him will now celebrate their victory. The rest of us need to prepare to live in a different America: a country where millions of our fellow citizens voted for a president who knowingly promotes hatred and division; who lies—blatantly, shamelessly—every time he appears in public; who plotted to overturn an election in 2020 and, had he not won, was planning to try again in 2024.

Above all, we must learn to live in an America where an overwhelming number of our fellow citizens have chosen a president who holds the most fundamental values and traditions of our democracy, our Constitution, even our military in contempt. Over the past decade, opinion polls showed Americans’ faith in their institutions waning. But no opinion poll could make this shift in values any clearer than this vote. As a result of this election, the United States will become a different kind of country.

When he was last in the White House, the president-elect ignored ethics and security guidelines, fired inspectors general and other watchdogs, leaked classified information, and used the Department of Homeland Security in the summer of 2020 as if it were the interior ministry of an authoritarian state, deploying U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Coast Guard “troops” in American cities. Trump actively encouraged the January 6, 2021, insurrection at our Capitol. When he left the White House, he stole classified documents and hid them from the FBI.

“The Atlantic” is neocon propaganda and David Frum is a repeat doofus

Other than that, this rag is wonderful for

a) lining bird cages

b) wrapping fish (if you wash the fish afterwards)

...a president who knowingly promotes hatred and division..

Sounds like somebody is promoting hatred and division here, but maybe that is just because I'm garbage that voted for Hitler.

The Atlantic is a wreck today.

Writers Tom Nichols, Adrienne LaFrance, etc writing similar screeds with LaFrance saying President Trump is against free speech.

Based on today’s articles, there is little contemplation about why the election turned out the way it did.

Trump should have a bunch of garbage men and garbage trucks in his inaugural parade followed by a marching group of woke general officers.
