“For all of their losses, Hillary still had a strong showing; the left is regrouping, not collapsing.”
Of course they will continuing trying to regain power, but this election shook the foundations of their many decades long approach to consolidate power. It showed that the demographics models they’ve been dependent upon can shift. It showed that the biased support they’ve consistently had from the MSM, entertainment industry, and academia can be circumvented and that a candidate can now ‘go around’ them. It also further unmasked their bias, such that everything that comes out of the MSM these days is looked at differently than before.
If Trump does what he says, and actually does help the inner cities, establishing real entrepreneurial zones with incentives, and stop violence there, the demographic voting that the democrats have depended upon may significantly change. If he carries through with real, meaningful voting regulations that ensure accurate elections and suppress fraud, this will also have a significant effect. Stopping illegal immigration will take away another avenue that the left has counted on as a means of permanently shifting the demographics in their favor.
In short, you’re right that they will keep trying, but this was a very hopeful election.
I’m happy with the outcome but still wary of the Dems; they’ve already begun working on the groups that left the plantation to either sit out the election or actually vote for Trump (or a third party).
