The problem with many political arguments is that people fall into a "them vs. us" mindset. It's an easy trap to fall into — I've been guilty of it myself.
But real victory requires seeing the full picture.
Why did Donald Trump win? Because some people like monsters. That's not an argument in favor of monsters. But the fact remains: we had record voter turnout — and Donald Trump still won. That means a lot of people sat this one out, and many of those who showed up were pro-monster.
Donald Trump inspired his base. Kamala Harris did not inspire the other half of the country.
This isn't rocket science — it's simple logic.
In a country where people were either looking for a monster or something genuinely better than what they've always had, someone like Kamala Harris was never going to win. She represented more of the same.
Again, not rocket science. Just logic. And accepting that reality is how you understand what we're working with.
This is the America we're working with.
If it's not progressive, it will be conservative.
There's a hard pill that some people — especially those in the establishment and in leadership — don't want to swallow.
