The good news is this is no longer a fight against Donald Trump, but a fight for the hearts and minds of the 70 million Americans who chose to vote for him. The bad news is that unlike Trump, they are not going anywhere.
After these stunning US elections, the most electrifying presidential election of this century, there will be a lot of armchair quarterbacking going on. It is therefore important to record the current facts in this first draft of history before they are rewritten by the winners.
The first is that virtually all mainstream polls and pundits got it wrong again. And not only did they get it wrong after getting it wrong the first time and promising to learn from their mistakes, but they got it even more wrong.
Four years of constant commentary on Trump’s unpopularity, his accidental and undemocratic flip into the White House, his illegal and illegitimate presidency, his murderous incompetence, and his planned wiping out of the elections once he went for a second term have proven absolutely wrong.

Yes, after days in which the swing states flickered red to blue on the narrowest edge, Trump is impossible to win – provided none of his conspiracies about electoral fraud come true.
That doesn’t negate the fact, however, that he cast a record number of votes for a Republican candidate in U.S. history and was within the nonsense of a bee to win a second term – again despite all the public polls and predictions.
Democrats should thank their lucky stars for pre-selecting Biden as their candidate, a genius, familiar, and moderate man who is as close to the embodiment of mainstream Central America as the party has on its books. That’s why I supported him in the primaries, nervously claiming he’d win even if the voting card turned into a red sea.
Only Biden was able to span an incredibly wide range of voters, from young Trump-hating socialists to urban Trump-hating Republicans to the minimum of white working-class men in the Midwest. The result was the highest vote for a presidential candidate in American history, and it’s impossible to see how other candidates like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren or Harris could have done the same. Biden may not be clear, but at least he’s personable.

But the second highest vote for a presidential candidate goes to Donald J. Trump, and now those voters are looking for a home.
It is now, as it was four years ago, clear that the political, media and academic establishment simply does not understand them and dismisses their hopes and fears as illegitimate – even “regrettable”, one might say. By accident or on purpose, Trump took advantage of those hopes and fears and a new American revolution was born.
And so more than 70 million souls sit there and wait for the next Messiah to bring them to the promised land. If Democrats don’t believe they can pull together a larger coalition of communists and corporations in any election in the future, they’d better do it, listen to them.
And the key word here is listening. The only thing that keeps popping up is that these people are tired of being dictated and saying they have to squeeze into a predetermined ideological template or to be thrown on the political junk heap.
One example is the video Harris voiced and circulated in which she used cartoon characters and comic script to explain the difference between “equality” and “justice” to people who were apparently too stupid to understand.

Maybe it was an attempt to scold voters for their privilege, or maybe it was an attempt to provide a theoretical framework to explain how she helped poor oppressed people who seemed too ignorant to know were suppressed. Either way, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more disgusting condescending piece of political propaganda.
And so it continues. Workers are told to sacrifice their work for climate change, that they must sacrifice their religious beliefs for progress, and that they must sacrifice their language for tolerance.
And honestly, they fuck about it.
Joe’s friendly demeanor and big smile went a long way in reassuring people that the party was listening again, but it will have a lot more to do. Even if the penny falls among the so-called educated classes, the belated development from confusion to enlightenment is itself a bloody accusation.
Commenting on the result, a US economics professor commented, “In my opinion, a large number of people hate the cultural left (not the economic left) and are willing to put up with almost anything, including incompetence, chaos, corruption and bad politics for theirs Signaling views loud and clear. ”
Oh well. No shit.

A New Zealand lecturer in social sciences and psychology also tweeted: “We social scientists could not predict or even understand the attraction of Trump. We have to do better to understand why people chose him. Lots of people have, so there are likely some strong reasons. If we don’t understand, we’ll miss the next one too. ”
Just like that again. Yet how terrifying that the academic class should be so confused by Trump’s attraction that they feel the need to study his followers like lab rats.
And to this brave, lonely New York Times columnist for his soul-changing Mea Culpa: “Our job in the media is to capture reality so that people aren’t surprised when reality expresses itself like last night. Pretty massive failure. We’re still not good at conquering the right half of the country. ”
So true. Even after four long years of chaos and condemnation, they were still not good. And they still don’t realize that this “right half” includes a large number of workers who thought they were the left until the left left them behind. In every blue-collar swing country we still talk about today, they voted for Obama and then for Trump.
The Democrats will rightly breathe a sigh of relief after this election – a choice that was far tighter than it should have been – but they shouldn’t think for a minute that the fight is over.
If they don’t win back the working class and Central America, if they don’t start reflecting on their values instead of dictating them, this might just be the last choice they win for a very long time.
