Donald Trump made this election a referendum on him. “Vote like I’m on the ballot.”
Trump was defeated by a coalition of Democrats of all persuasions (centrist, liberal, progressive, and socialist), RINOs who are conservative but not MAGAs, Latinos, and independents.
What this means is that the vote was not a vote FOR democratic socialism. It was a vote AGAINST Donald Trump.
The anti-Trump coalition is fragile. It is united by one thing—dislike of Donald Trump. They’re going to have to do some compromising to get anything done. Some factions of the coalition are not good at compromising. It remains to be seen how these disparate groups navigate their conflicting agendas.
I think the least likely outcome is the toppling of American government and institution of a socialist dictatorship.
American institutions are incredibly robust. They have survived many determined attempts to topple them. The Blue Tsunami is not such an attempt.
The next two years are going to be interesting.
