Donald Trump took revenge, returning to the White home 4 years later. But not only did he win the presidential election for the second time. Trump broke the opposition of a cross-party and unpartisan establishment. He needed a certain triumph with a considerable difference – and he achieved it. Moreover, even the majority of his supporters and those who bet on him exceeded his expectations.
Trump not only improved his 2016 score, but besides overtook the second candidate, Kamala Harris, in terms of the number of general votes. There are no final figures yet, but so far Trump has a lead of 5 million votes – and this despite the fact that Hillary Clinton beat him by 3 million in 2016, and Joe Biden in 2020 by seven.
In itself, the national majority in the general vote does not substance for the election of the winner, everything is decided at the state vote level, but gives the Republicans assurance for the future. White, provincial America, which is Trump's chief electorate, is not yet doomed to the demolition of a number and does not intend to surrender without a fight. And on November 5, she won this battle, and not only in the fight for the White House.
Trumpists (as their Republicans are now more correctly called) have besides received a majority in the legislature and there is simply a good chance that they will manage to keep the majority in the home of Representatives. But even without the lower Trump-47 home of legislature (the next number of his future presidency) will be much stronger than Trump-45.
This time he will control 3 of the 4 public centres of power – the White House, the legislature and the ultimate Court, in which the majority has a conservative majority. Moreover, the future president of the US has the Republican organization itself under control, which was not Trumpist during his first term.
This means that even without a majority in the Trump home of Representatives he has the levers of power he did not have in his first term. At that time, for the first 2 years, he had a majority in the Senate, but any Republican senators were against him. He did not have full support in the party, and the majority in the ultimate Court only developed at the end of his term. He spent most of his time trying to get out of the intrigue, sabotage, and open obstruction that entwined and paralyzed his administration, and even worsened due to his individual deficiency of experience as a statesman.
Now that almost all apparent shackles have been dropped, Trump can go straight to combat his main opponent, the "Washington bayonet", or octopus of a deep state, this mixture of ruling bureaucracy, hereditary elites and financial structures. Does he have a chance? Of course not, if we mean a clear triumph over America's "real rulers". Trump can't defeat the dragon, but he can cut his head off. And given the diseased state of the dragon, this time the fresh dragon may not grow into a place cut off.
Simply put, the American establishment is in no little crisis than the American state and society itself, and Trump is both a symptom of this illness and a self-proclaimed doctor trying to cure it. He has repeatedly talked about his desire to drain the "Washington swamp", and late he has been repeating the words that America's main enemies are not outside, but inside.
There is no request to look specifically for the interior “enemies of the people”, Trump voters are convinced that they are simply the same all-powerful and depraved elites. Washington, fresh York and California are very rich, mostly liberal and cosmopolitan, who consider average people to be cattle.
And this is not only the opinion of white men from middle-aged provinces (the main electorate of Trump), but besides very many representatives of colored people (support for Republicans among the Latins has increased significantly) and mostly young people.
Although Trump is portrayed as a racist, sexist and enemy of average people, voters have little and little religion in it, although most of those who voted for Harris did so only out of fear of the “fascist” Trump created by the media. But what will this “potential dictator” be able to do? Will he be able, if he does not organize the executive cleaning (in the broad sense of the word) of the elite, to at least importantly adjust his policies? Yes – as the current policy has led the country to stalemate and crisis – both interior (polarisation, rising inter-racial tensions, deterioration of infrastructure, distrust of central authorities and the media) and abroad policy.
The cosmopolitan elite puts global domination of the United States, globalisation according to Anglo-Saxon rules, and that is physically impossible. For the “Washington swamp” it does not substance who will live in America in 50 years – the most crucial thing is not to blow out the lid of a jar with multi-racial compote to keep the state governed and the society targeted.
But that's not how it works. For a long time, many bells have been ringing about strategy failure. However, the Establishment is convinced that it can "go out and chew gum at the same time", that is, carefully improvement the country and defend global leadership with elements of hegemony. Trump, like a large part of the elite, doesn't believe that. If everything continues as it is, there will be neither hegemony nor the United States alone. He will so effort to focus on the country, its strengthening and its rebirth as a whole, on preventing disintegration and strengthening its position as the “number 1 country” in the world.
Will he succeed? Trump personally can only lay the foundation for change, and fresh generations will proceed to live. In this sense, J.D. Vance's election as vice president is of large importance, a policy that truly represents an alternate to the globalist cosmopolitanism of the current American establishment. If Trump succeeds, Vance will have the chance to "make America large again" for the next 8 years. If, of course, both of them last the conflict with the Washington bayonet.
