By defeating Kamala Harris, and by extension the Biden-Obama cabal of strategists, consultants, and advisors, Donald Trump has completed his rout of every major modern political dynasty.
It’s been obvious for quite a while but some media outlets are starting to notice the reality around them.
According to Axios, Trump is returning to DC as the “most powerful Republican president of the modern era” having left his foes on the ash heap of political history:
Donald J. Trump has vanquished the Bushes, the Clintons, the Bidens, the Obamas — and the entire establishment of both parties.
Why it matters: Trump is stronger than ever, backed by a party wholly remade in his image and opposed by demoralized and defeated Democrats.
Make no mistake: Trump will come to power better organized, better staffed, and exponentially better positioned to dominate his party and the nation than he was last time.
- Trump promises to stretch the immense powers of the presidency, with historically wide latitude from a pliant, conservative Supreme Court.
- A new conservative media ecosystem — centered on Elon Musk’s X — will amplify Trump’s power and reshape America’s information wars.
- And efforts to prosecute him are likely to end.
In other words, Trump successfully played the inside straight he needed and the result was a crushing blow to establishment power at every level of government.
The scale of the victory is impressive as every demographic group tilted red this time around producing a truly united and diverse coalition buying Trump’s agenda up and down the line:
By the numbers: Trump’s victory was astonishing in its sweep and scope. All but two states — Washington and Utah — went more heavily for Trump on Tuesday than in 2020 (Financial Times).
- Trump was backed by a remarkable 1 in 3 voters of color (NBC News exit poll).
- He improved over his 2020 performance among voters younger than 30, Black voters and Hispanic voters.
- President Biden won Latino men by 23 points in 2020, but Trump won them by 10 points in 2024. (CNN)
These are numbers that left-wing analysts simply cannot wrap their heads around. Trump won the most Hispanic county in America by a seismic margin which is something that doesn’t compute in left-wing identity politics:
As final results are still pouring in, it is clear that Trump has overperformed his 2020 results across the map, including in Starr County, Texas, where he has become the first Republican presidential candidate to win since 1892.
The county is considered the most Hispanic in America with around 97 percent of its population identifying as such, according to TexasCounties.net 2020 data.
Trump won the county with 57.7 percent of the vote, over Harris’ 41.8 percent, according to the University of Houston’s tracker of statewide races. This result is as of Wednesday, with 99 percent of the vote counted.
But wait, talking about deporting illegal aliens is supposed to alienate Hispanic voters and other minorities? Well, that’s true in a world where Democrats only see skin color and only talk to people in the faculty lounge but not true in the real world where voters decide their preferences based on policies and what’s actually good for the country.
Trump has, on many occasions, promised the largest mass deportation operation in American history if elected. This has been his position for months yet some analysts on liberal networks have openly said that they’re afraid minority voters don’t know this or haven’t heard it. That is preposterous, of course, and insulting on so many levels.
American citizens of all stripes, including the second and third-generation Mexican-Americans in Starr County, know their communities will be safer if we remove criminal aliens, full stop. It’s that simple.
Legal immigrants and native-born citizens alike don’t like sharing their schools, health care, and jobs with people who jumped the line and don’t respect American laws as evidenced by their illegal entry.
This is all related to Trump’s dominance over the political establishment. When given a bold choice, Americans took it as the far better option than the mass chaos of an uncontrolled immigration system we have now at the hands of Biden-Harris.
The next Trump presidency will look similar to 2016 but much improved in terms of focus and strategy, Axios concludes:
- Trump will be Trump. He said and did whatever he wanted on the campaign trail — and will do more of this in office. He will surround himself with capable people — like he did with Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita on the campaign — to bring some method to the public madness.
- Leverage his new base. Trump sees himself as the champion of toughness and the working class, which attracted a lot of Hispanic and Black men to his predominantly white, blue-collar base. It’s no accident that Stephen Miller — a top adviser on immigration policy adviser in the first Trump term, who’s expected to have a top White House job in the new administration — tweeted at 5:58 p.m. ET last night: “If you know any men who haven’t voted, get them to the polls.” And six minutes later: “Get every man you know to the polls.”
- Destroy traditional media. He hates his media critics and witnessed the new power of X and Elon Musk, plus Joe Rogan and the other bro-tilted realms of the podcast world. Trump believes a weakened media is ready to collapse. Now he has a bigger, more powerful alternative to help replace it.
- Pound the “woke.” Don’t underestimate the damage Democrats did to their brand by promoting political correctness. Democratic strategists told us it’s a huge problem for the image of the party, not just Harris. Trump saw this as vital to turning independents and apathetic voters into Republicans — or at least Trump Republicans. The campaign was only the beginning.
On issue after issue, America voted Trump for a reason and the establishment is melting down over it.
