Everyone’s been kissing the ring ever since. You’d think Democrats got blown out of Washington the way people are glazing him.

Because Republicans hadn’t won the popular vote in 20 years and they’re pretending their narrow margin is groundbreaking

Because Trump is blatantly corrupt and prone to flattery, there’s a massive advantage to most entities and people to kiss his ass now that he won

Because the NYT and others are treating it like he did because they wanted Democrats to get repudiated for *reasons*.

Whoever told republicans to keep repeating the term “mandate” is a genius. It makes my blood boil.

Because his victory shattered what many liberals and Dem elites believed about the country.
It turns out that:
1. Majority of the country is not Democratic (evidence: popular vote loss by Kamala). At best, it’s 50/50
2. The minority vote is not guaranteed to be Dem. (Evidence: massive swings towards Trump in Asian, Hispanic, and even some Black communities)
3. Women’s rights and abortion are not a priority. While most Americans support reproductive freedom, they don’t vote on it, at least for presidential elections.
4. Even deep blue states are not safe for Dems any more. Look at the results in New Jersey, Virginia, and Illinois. Dems won these states by smaller margins than Trump won Texas. Forget Blue Texas, if trends hold, we could see Red New Jersey soon.
