The Trump counterrevolution challenges entrenched elites, bureaucracies, and progressive ideologies in favor of restoring traditional values, government accountability, and national identity.
We are witnessing a historic counterrevolution after Trump’s victory, far different from his first election in 2016.
The orthodox and the supposed scripted future are now suspect. And they are likely to be dethroned—from the trivial to the existential.
Critics claim Trump has no mandate to stage such a counterrevolution. They argue that he did not win 51 percent of the popular vote or achieve a Reaganesque landslide in the Electoral College.
Yet all the initiatives he advanced and won on polled landslide public approval.
Despite being the target of Democrat lawfare for years, a defiant Trump promised to end an open border, massive illegal immigration, rising crime, and soaring prices. He pledged to slash government and its administrative state, terminate racial and gender identity politics, and restore deterrence abroad.
The people overwhelmingly wanted those messages but were waiting for an unorthodox messenger who would actually deliver them.
The Trump messenger reassured weary citizens that they were not crazy.
Instead, they had good cause to be sick of being talked down to by a media, academic, bureaucratic, and political elite that never earned nor deserved such self-appointed status.
The FBI, the CIA, and the DOJ, not the massive crowds at rallies, were the ones truly out of control.
President Joe Biden was really suffering from dementia, not those who said he was.
Criminals with weapons are as deleterious to society as law-abiding citizens deprived of them.

It’s fun that people are freed from the fear of the Red Guard ruining their lives. After the election, Trump supporters are wearing MAGA hats and putting up Trump signs in blue states. This is a wonderful development.
The grifter state’s only hope at this point is to prevent Trump from assuming office.
Great article. Will help when arguing with fools.
Trump would have done so, when you take out all the cheating.
By cheating I include not just the obvious, such as the 128,000 ballots, 90% for the Democratic Senator from Wisconsin, which appeared in Milwaukee about midnight, or the creeping votes trickling in to get a couple of Democratic Representatives elected in California.
I include the lawfare, the insistent barrage of "Trump is Hitler" from the dominant, Progressive old media, the jailing of Trump allies, the harassment of his lawyers, and Google's magnified election interference with the massaging of search result order.
If those things did not exist, Trump would have probably gotten 60% of the popular vote, and a 49 state electoral college win.
It is near miraculous Trump was able to win against those fierce headwinds.
Good article. Thanks for posting. So what do we do with the evil, the irrational, the insane, the enemies foreign and domestic? They still exist. There are millions of them.
Deep State isn’t insane, Professor.
Deep State is evil.
——Democrat lawfare——
Is a capital crime against the very essence of the American Republic and must be punished by death
KEYSTONE WILL LIVE AGAIN
The Trump team’s plan to resuscitate a dead oil project
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/20/trump-keystone-oil-pipeline-00190603
The pipeline’s permit to cross the U.S.-Canadian border was first rejected in 2015 by President Barack Obama. Trump in 2017 reversed that decision and approved the border crossing — only to have that decision revoked by Biden in January 2021. After that, TC Energy, the pipeline’s developer, said it would no longer pursue its construction.
Free one-ways to the Gaza strip so they can cuddle with the "oppressed suffering genocide" they love so much.
So, another name for the Trump counterrevolution is a simple return to sanity.
