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.

In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed. Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee. In a message on his Telegram channel recently recounting the episode, Durov wrote: "I lost my company and my home, but would do it again – without hesitation." Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. Elsewhere, version 8.6 of Telegram integrates the in-app camera option into the gallery, while a new navigation bar gives quick access to photos, files, location sharing, and more.
