I'm glad you're glad. The country will be better with Trump's coalition!

Glenn laid out his reasons for being "excited" beautifully. John's juvenile face expressions towards Glenn were super annoying. Those are the exact expressions (that of contempt and smugness) that I endure as a conservative living in San Francisco. Notice how when Glenn asked John what he got out of the last four years from the Democrats John cited something about Infrastructure then immediately turned the conversation back to Glenn. Boy o Boy was that telling... Glenn gets it and John either feigns ignorance or is flat-out TDS. Voters are sick and tired of the progressive left and the party has left the middle class behind. This was a vote not necessarily for Trump rather a giant F-You to the Dems. From all of my conservative friends/family, who don't all like Trump btw, agree on one thing...a weight has been lifted.

My issue is with the headline: "It's time for a change." Am I the only one that has a problem with saying, "It's time for a change," instead of, "It's time for improvement"?

Any idiot can change things. It takes knowledge, skill and perseverance to improve things. If 'they' can't improve things, then 'they' shouldn't change them.

General misogyny and racism cannot explain the victory of Democratic female Senate candidates in Nevada. Wisconsin and Michigan—all states which voted for Trump; or the victory of a Democratic Hispanic Senate candidate in Arizona—a state which voted for Trump; or the passage of abortion rights laws in Nevada, Arizona’s, Montana and Missouri—all states which voted for Trump.

Perhaps the misogyny exists at the level of President. Or perhaps Harris was as poor a candidate in 2024 as she was in 2020: weak, vague, untrustworthy. Her selection of idiotic Tim Walz did not inspire trust either.

As a self-described snob John has no choice but to be a Democrat. To move right of the Party he would have to stop being a snob, and it's fun being a snob. You get to look down on the smelly idiot Walmart hoi polloi with your fellow elites and aspiring elites reading the New York Times in the morning and listening to NPR in the evening. You get caressed by your fellow academics and media types as long as you stay in the club. You drink better wine. There's a lot on the line.

They DO NOT drink better wine. More expensive, maybe. Better? No.

John's been hanging out at the NYT too much.
