There will be weeks or months of analysis and opinion, most of it pure speculation, as liberals try to figure out why America re-elected Trump. This article by Tom Nichols has it right in my opinion.
But in the end, a majority of American voters chose Trump because they wanted what he was selling: a nonstop reality show of rage and resentment. Some Democrats, still gripped by the lure of wonkery, continue to scratch their heads over which policy proposals might have unlocked more votes, but that was always a mug’s game. Trump voters never cared about policies, and he rarely gave them any.
Watch for the buyer’s remorse.
