From the left: Wokeism Elected Trump
The “metropolitan liberal left has been going down a particularly self-destructive path in recent years,” thunders Nick Tyrone at Spiked; if these “liberals hadn’t done so many things wrong, Trump almost certainly would have lost.”
If the center-left desires to win once more, “rejecting the extremes of trans ideology is vital” as is seeing that “the whole ‘toxic masculinity’ narrative has been a total disaster.”
The left’s narrative round males “created a gaping space for Trump that he has happily driven into and parked the bus.”
Voters rejected “the idea that biological sex doesn’t exist, or that all young men should shut up and check their privilege.”
If the liberal left “want the Trumps of the world to stop winning” it must “stop making it easy for them.”
From the appropriate: Don’s Vote-by-Male Triumph
“The demographic who voted the most for Trump is men, including Latino men, white men and men without a college degree,” roared USA At this time’s Nicole Russell.
“How did Trump do it? He reached out to working-class voters of all ethnic and racial groups by emphasizing how the economy affects regular Americans.”
Going “on Joe Rogan’s podcast, which is especially popular with young men, for three hours late in the campaign was brilliant.”
Kamala Harris’ “Call Her Daddy” spot bought 800,000 views, whereas “Trump got more than 46 million views on Rogan’s show,” and “Vance got over 15 million.”
Trump and Vance’s message: “Men, you belong. Men, we appreciate you. Men who are masculine, kind, hardworking and family-oriented. You are necessary and you are vital.”
And males “rewarded Trump and Vance with their votes.”
Lawfare beat: Working Scared at Justice
“A collective sense of dread has taken hold at the Department of Justice,” experiences Politico’s Josh Gerstein: After Trump’s re-election, fears vary “from mass firings of ‘deep state’ lawyers to expelling special counsel Jack Smith from the country.”
(Although it “can be difficult to know how much of the anti-DOJ rhetoric is political bravado.”)
“Trump’s impact may be most pronounced in Justice’s National Security Division, which he blames for the Russia-related woes of his first term.”
In divisions doing “mundane, non-ideological legal work, Trump’s changes” will seemingly be “milder.”
However anticipate “staff to be more challenged this time around.”
“Trump now has the experience of his previous four years wrestling with what he derisively branded the ‘deep state.’ ”
Conservative: Obamas = 2024’s Greatest Losers
“No one has had more influence on the Democrat Party in the last decade than the Obamas” because it “has been transformed into one dominated by” liberal elites, argues The Federalist’s Helen Raleigh.
“The Biden-Harris administration was essentially President Obama’s third term,” and changing Biden with Harris because the Democratic nominee “wouldn’t have occurred without Obama’s blessing.”
“After getting Biden out of the way, the Obamas, with their unparalleled influence, identified Harris as the torchbearer of their leftist legacy.”
“Harris was an uninspiring presidential candidate in 2019 and accomplished little as the vice president,” so “if not for the Obamas, Harris would never have become the Democrat Party’s presidential nominee. The biggest loser on Tuesday wasn’t Harris but the Obamas.”
Historian: Dems Should Blame Themselves
“Nearly half” of Democrats are damning Joe Biden for “sticking around too long,” marvels Victor Davis Hanson at American Greatness, although their very own “party grandees” facilitated that.
However they shouldn’t blame Biden or Kamala Harris, or a scarcity of funds or “favorable media coverage.”
Nor remorse that they didn’t “do everything imaginable to destroy” Trump — since they did.
But they’re blaming “everything but themselves,” when actually their very own “radicalized” agenda is at fault.
Per week the election, they’re “still trapped in La La Land,” vowing to “stop” Trump. However “from what exactly”?
Giving them “tainted federal funds”? The left “won’t recover by blaming” voters or declaring struggle on Trump earlier than he even takes workplace. They should acknowledge “the fault” is in themselves.
