From a Politico piece today: "Trump’s 2016 victory felt like a historical accident. Tuesday feels like a realignment."

It is impossible to overstate the significance of this win. The previous narrative was that 2016 was kind of an accident – that Americans were duped by a charismatic celebrity, whom they rejected after coming to their senses in 2020.

But that narrative doesn't hold up after last night. Americans have *decisively* chosen Trump, proving that he and what he offers – politically incorrect humor, mass deportations, opposition to LGBT extremism and anti-white racism, open hostility to the federal bureaucracy, etc. – is deeply popular.

These are not fringe views. Most Americans do not agree with the media that Trump is "literally Hitler." The spell has been broken.

This, of course, is devastating to the powers that be – particularly Democratic strategists and politicians, who are now in an extremely unenviable position. If they move closer to the center, they will anger some of their most committed voters and activists. And it isn't guaranteed that such a move would bring in tons of new voters.

Trump's victory vindicates everything we have been fighting for. Had he lost, the forces (both right and left) endeavoring to move the conversation away from civilizational issues would have been greatly empowered. Fortunately, that didn't happen.
