Summary

Democrats are grappling with Donald Trump’s decisive victory, which included popular vote support and wins in traditionally Democratic regions.

Analysts suggest that Trump’s appeal lies less in specific policies and more in his embodiment of resentment and populist anger.

While some blame Harris’s choice of running mate, media influence, or Biden’s timing in stepping aside, many argue that Trump’s support reflects a desire for his “tough-guy” rhetoric and promises of “social revenge.”

Despite the potential consequences, Trump’s supporters expect him to hurt others without affecting them.

Trump’s second term will likely bring about the destruction of the rule of law and the expansion of his power, leaving voters to confront the reality of his actions.

    Democrat voters supporting their party hard shift to the right got what they deserved.

    They can’t expect to win elections if they continually ignore the needs of voters.

      Because now democrats being too conservative won’t be an issue?

      The lesson people will take away from this is that LGBTQ and especially trans rights are a losing issue with voters. It will be that women’s needs should be considered only if they don’t disturb men’s privileges.

      There isn’t going to be a left-wing realignment. Leftists just took a fatal hit, they just don’t realize it yet.
