The Trump Counterrevolution Is a Return to Sanity › American Greatness
Victor Davis Hanson


We are witnessing a historic counterrevolution after Trump’s victory, far different from his first election in 2016.

The orthodox and the supposed scripted future are now suspect. And they are likely to be dethroned—from the trivial to the existential.

Critics claim Trump has no mandate to stage such a counterrevolution. They argue that he did not win 51 percent of the popular vote or achieve a Reaganesque landslide in the Electoral College.

Yet all the initiatives he advanced and won on polled landslide public approval.

Despite being the target of Democrat lawfare for years, a defiant Trump promised to end an open border, massive illegal immigration, rising crime, and soaring prices. He pledged to slash government and its administrative state, terminate racial and gender identity politics, and restore deterrence abroad.

The people overwhelmingly wanted those messages but were waiting for an unorthodox messenger who would actually deliver them.

The Trump messenger reassured weary citizens that they were not crazy.

Instead, they had good cause to be sick of being talked down to by a media, academic, bureaucratic, and political elite that never earned nor deserved such self-appointed status.

I don’t care what mud the progressives throw at the @realDonaldTrump cabinet nominees they’re ALL a huge upgrade from the clown car we have now. From an AG who thinks it’s OK to weaponize DOJ, a health department that thinks transing children is “healthy,” a Treasury Secretary who had no clue inflation was devastating the working class, a Defense Secretary who thought it was swell to retreat the way they did in Afghanistan, to a prez and VP who are utterly clueless for different reasons (the former because of deteriorating mental health the latter for being intellectually lazy). Then there’s the transportation dude who as mayor ran a small city into the ground and was on paternity leave during the supply chain crisis.

Yes the country dodged a bullet
