I confess that while I was not surprised to see Trump win I remain stunned at the degree he won and the gains he made across nearly every demographic group, especially given everything that was thrown at him.

How Trump Won:

  • McDonalds
  • Garbage
  • Joe Rogan
  • Butler, PA
  • Class politics
  • tenacity

How Harris Lost:

  • Identity politics
  • Cancel Culture
  • DEI
  • Biology
  • Critical Race Theory
  • Lawfare
  • Inflation
  • Crime
  • Defund the police
  • FEMA
  • Peanut the squirrel
  • Pronouns
  • BLM
  • Student debt forgiveness
  • Word salads
  • Middle class
  • Afghanistan
  • Border
  • October 7

Lessons:

  • Class Trumps Race
  • Silence is consent
  • What you tolerate you teach
  • Demographics is not destiny
