Over the course of the last decade, President-elect Donald Trump broke both national political parties.
He first stormed into the 2016 Republican primaries with both an agenda and a style that sharply cut against GOP conventions. Since then, the Democratic Party has defined itself by opposition to him, rather than its own values and platform. President Joe Biden’s victory in 2020 looks, now more than ever, like an electoral brake tap in a race away from the establishment.
In this election, there was no greater symbol of the aimlessness of the two parties’ old guards than the Cheney family and the Democratic presidential nominee wrapping their arms around each other in an embrace that they somehow didn’t find awkward. Their marriage of convenience gave more credence to Trump’s arguments that elites serve their own interests first.
Like Obama’s two elections, Trump’s second win was decisive by modern historical standards. There’s no need to tally how many thousands of votes he won by in the closest swing states.
Trump now has the power to reform government — the institutions of democracy — because he has rebuilt the Republican Party around a more populist and protectionist vision for the economy that proved persuasive to the electorate.
To fight effectively for the issues they care most about, from the form of government to abortion rights, Democrats have to make sure voters don’t see them as a threat to economic prosperity.

Trump rescued the GOP.
Indeed. GOP populism is a winning strategy. GOPe is not.
“Trump rescued the GOP.”
He sure did and the likes of Mitch McConnell are pissed.
Dems are practicing how to lie better. They’ve already convinced almost half the population they are moderates.
No surprise the machine learned nothing. They lost, we won. It is just that simple
What ‘both parties’?
President Trump: Change Maker.
Absolutely!
GOPe was rapidly becoming the modern Whig party.
An irrelevant and dying party with no meaningful future.
The Country Club Chamber of Commerce MCRomneyBush GOPe. He broke them goood.
Democrats can go straight to h***
To hell if they do not mend their ways.
I mean straight down. Do not pass Go do not collect $200.
They die and a hole will open up and they will be dragged away. Probably by things with tentacles. And dull jagged teeth.
as long as liberals can count on 90% support among gullible blacks it doesn’t matter what they say, and they know it.
Correction, Trump broke the Uniparty.
“YOU GET NOTHING YOU LOSE!”
That is changing. Black men came in around 22% for Trump. That is almost 3x higher than it was a decade ago for GOP. Hispanics came in around 45% overall; with a majority of Hispanic males. The pandering party has a base but it’s not what the majority of Americans want anymore. In 2020 and 2024 Trump secured 75 million and 73 million votes respectively. The #2 and #3 most votes ever only behind Biden’s mysterious 81 million (which was 22 million more than Obama got in 2008).
He really did. Pretty incredible.
