Trump’s victory criticizes the Democrats’ woke worldview. This is next

Donald Trump’s big election victory is a repudiation of the Democratic Party, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. There is no other way to see it. With a more than 2-to-1 advantage in financial resources, the office of vice president, and the support of financial and political elites across the country, the fact that Donald Trump has won a convincing victory despite a campaign that was clearly distracted by from the past week speaks volumes about the message the American electorate was sending in this election.

In other words, voters want a new economic policy that emphasizes smaller government, deregulation and lower taxes. They want the wall completed and illegal immigration eliminated as much as possible. And they want the crime problem to be tackled fundamentally and systematically.

The election results also point to the limitations of the abortion issue as a motivating force. Simply put, the fact that Democrats have put virtually all their firepower behind the choice issue suggests the weakness of that appeal.

More generally, as a message to the Democratic Partythe return to the White House of a clearly flawed Donald Trump also represents a rejection of democratic woke policies. Whether it be transgender issues, affirmative action, or issues related to the role of parents and the traditional nuclear family as a central part of American life.

The Republican victory and Senate election results, together with the very strong showing in the House of Representatives, represent a message of change and rejection of the status quo.

Put bluntly, Democrats need to reassess who they are, what they stand for, and why they exist as a party if they want to maximize their appeal going forward.

To be clear, a Republican victory, even one as surprisingly substantial as this one, is only half the message of these election results. The American people are looking for leadership. At home, in economics and abroad in confronting our adversaries, whether in the United States Middle East or in Eastern and Central Europe.

As a deeply divided country, it is frankly more important that we come together around our common values ​​and common principles than any other specific policy initiative or ambitious goal.

It is my fervent hope that, given the strength of the Russia-China-IranNorth Korea as, that both parties recognize the threat we face, which is profound and growing, and unless our leaders come together to meet our challenges at home and abroad, the real loser will be the American people, who deserve better than the polarization and campaign we are running. just witnessed it.

Rest assured: this is the start of a new period for our opponents. A dangerous period. The interregnum between a weakened Joe Biden and an energized and invigorated Donald Trump creates an extraordinary risk for us and an opportunity for our adversaries.

If one thing is clear, it’s that Donald Trump needs to get in touch Joe Biden and vice versa. The best thing they could both do would be to pardon each other and their families. Not because of the merits of the cases, but because our country deserves better. And the American people certainly deserve much better leadership than we have received thus far.
