It's encouraging, certainly, but I'll be interested to see if MAGA candidates underperformed again like they did in 2022. Trump can accomplish a lot in the next few years, but it's going to be an open question whether his successor will be able to sustain and grow his coalition. A lot of the gains in minority and working class voters are low propensity voters, if they aren't inclined to turn up when Trump isn't on the ballot and the stakes aren't extreme, we may have a rough midterm coming.
We did it! The incredibly diverse coalition of the New Right soared over the hive mind of the democratic party. I am the most hopeful I've been for the future as I've watched the attacks from the left on the US Constitution and every "group," bring together strange bedfellows and the wagons circled. The resurrection and seeping of the Jim Crow overseer into every facet of life has been crushed.
Everything you pointed out concerning political appointees has me worried. Hopefully he will find better people, if there are better people? For his "policy changes" to have any chance at it will require both houses of Congress and a remarkable group of appointees. Great article.

Excellent. I’m going to print this out and put it on my wall.
