VDH, an American classicist, military historian, and conservative political commentator, explained to British journalist Piers Morgan on his "Piers Morgan Uncensored" podcast how Trump was able to take away voters from the Democrat Party and "middle America," and soundly defeat Harris and her stubborn adherence to identity politics (emphasis, mine).

He was able, for the first time in my lifetime, to replace racial tribalism with class solidarity ... and that’s what they do not want to confront. In other words, he said to people, 'If you're a Mexican-American truck driver, if you're a black electrician, if you're a poor white carpenter, you have more in common with each other than you do with your elites on the bicoastal, domain.' //

And that's what they do not want to confront, because that's the keystone of the Democratic Party. Victim, victimization, victimizers oppressor, oppressed. And they have this kind of Marxist binary. And people don't buy into it, and especially minorities don't buy it. //

Yes, the degree to which they tried to destroy him is the degree to which he is an existential threat. Their entire success was based on a lie. And he did the ONE thing that threatened to tear it all down: tell the truth. The amazing thing is it took their demonization of him and his refusal to go away that eventually proved his point: they are the threat to democracy.

He said that all along but it took the past 10 years to show it in real time and finally enough people got red pilled.

The right/left paradigm has been turned upside down. It's really not that meaningful. The Uniparty divided us along party lines and kept themselves in power. Trump took a populist approach and is forming a coalition based on what we agree about rather than where we disagree.

The obstacle is that the nation is still highly divided and the Machine won't die easily. The Uniparty knows how to gum up the works.

BUT sunlight disinfects. The thing they can't survive is exposure. Since Trump cannot afford to let them rise back to power or we're all screwed, he has to expose their secrets. In doing so, he'll further vindicate his case and more people will reject the Democrat party as they wake up to decades of lies.

Politics as usual is over. It's not about retribution, it's about exposing why nothing has made sense for decades and how the two parties kept us losing rights and the Overton Window shifted to the brink of our destruction.

He can't be a dictator and wipe away everything in his way, they know that. BUT he can utterly destroy their ability to lie to the people and build a coaltion they cannot defeat in fair elections. //

That is the challenge, for sure. But if you look at the collapse in rating of Hollywood and TV and corporations that go woke, the left is weaker than they appear. X.com has 10x the reach as the MSM.

I think Trump won bigger than it appeared. States with no voter ID cheated, as always, and most fo the counties in this country moved right. If they couldn't cheat in the high population center cities, what would they really have?

We're about to find out. This is an information war right now and not a shooting war, thankfully.

And their exposed flank is all their dirty secrets and lies.

My assumption is that Trump will hit that flank with disclosure of who and what they really are and simultaneously secure our elections and deport illegals so they can no longer stay in power illegitimately.

And they have almost no defense against that attack because it's all true and they are criminals.

You know what I think will be the exposures that sink a whole lot of them all at once?

Espstein and Diddy. Americans might argue over policy or unions or whatever, but no one will tolerate pedophiles. Plus the cartels and human trafficking and drugs. How many in the Elite are tied up in one or more of those things?

The depravity of the left will be its undoing.
