We are witnessing a historic shift following Trump’s victory, vastly different from his initial election in 2016.
The traditional and the presumed path forward are now under scrutiny. They are likely to be overthrown—from the trivial to the significant.
Critics argue that Trump lacks the mandate to spearhead such a shift. They contend that he didn’t secure 51 percent of the popular vote or achieve a sweeping Electoral College win akin to Reagan’s.
Yet, every initiative he championed and won support for received overwhelming public approval in polls. Despite enduring relentless legal battles from Democrats for years, Trump defiantly promised to tackle an open border, rampant illegal immigration, escalating crime, and rising costs. He pledged to reduce the size of government, dismantle the administrative state, end identity politics based on race and gender, and reestablish deterrence on the global stage.
The people overwhelmingly supported these messages but were waiting for an unconventional leader who could deliver on them.
Trump reassured disillusioned citizens that their frustrations were valid.
They had every reason to be tired of condescension from the media, academia, bureaucracy, and political elite—groups that had neither earned nor justified their self-assigned authority. It wasn’t the massive rally crowds but the FBI, CIA, and DOJ that were truly out of control.
President Joe Biden was genuinely experiencing cognitive decline, not those pointing it out.
Criminals with weapons are just as harmful to society as law-abiding citizens deprived of their right to self-defense.
It is not extremist to believe there are two sexes—not three, four, or more. No one should be coerced into purchasing an electric car, abandoning their gas stove, or attending mandatory diversity and inclusion workshops.
Americans should freely express their opinions and write without fear of censorship, blacklisting, ostracism, doxxing, shadow banning—or imprisonment.
Campuses are no longer bastions of free thought, tolerance, and intellectual curiosity. They have increasingly morphed into overpriced indoctrination hubs that undermine constitutional principles and leave students with debts and biases rather than knowledge.
Trump and his MAGA team propose cutting over a trillion dollars from the annual federal budget and dismantling entire agencies.
Is the objection that an already bloated government—$37 trillion in debt and running nearly $2 trillion in annual deficits—should continue expanding?
Trump also aims to reform the Pentagon—removing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and curbing the revolving door of generals turning into corporate executives.
He promises to hold top brass accountable for the Afghanistan debacle and reinstate service members ousted due to vaccine mandates or woke policies. Trump envisions a complete overhaul of military procurement.
Does the status quo insist that our current military leadership has been successful in securing decisive victories abroad?
Is the Pentagon brimming with enthusiastic recruits?
Has it amassed a substantial surplus of essential weaponry and ammunition?
Trump has vowed historic deportations of the 12 million illegal immigrants who breached the southern border without health or criminal screenings.
He pledges to relieve overwhelmed social services and address crimes committed by illegal felons.
Is that truly worse than the Biden administration’s policy of facilitating mass illegal immigration, which empowers drug cartels and human traffickers?
Who bears the blame: those flagrantly violating the law, or those determined to enforce it?
Trump promises to deter adversaries without entangling the U.S. in “endless wars”—a promise he upheld during his first term.
Is the alternative preferable? Allowing enemies to act with impunity, undermining allies like Israel, and perpetuating the conflict in Ukraine without a clear plan to either win or conclude it?
The Trump revolution also brings cultural and social transformation. Shared economic interests are replacing divisions based on race, ethnicity, and gender.
Athletes from diverse backgrounds now honor the national anthem rather than kneel in protest against alleged systemic racism. Some even celebrate by mimicking Trump’s YMCA or golf-swing dance moves on live television.
Recruitment into the Trump movement prioritizes common sense, successful careers outside of government, and a desire to end the current dysfunction—rather than traditional resumes, elite degrees, or government tenure. Race, gender, and class do not solely determine qualifications.
For Trump, titles and prestige matter less. His circle is ideologically diverse, including figures like Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy Jr., Dana White, Tulsi Gabbard, and Joe Rogan.
America no longer needs to apologize endlessly for its past but can move forward—content that it doesn’t need to be perfect to be better than the alternatives.
The era of pronoun proclamations, renaming landmarks, toppling statues, defacing libraries, and spouting antisemitic rhetoric is waning.
Thus, another way to describe the Trump counterrevolution is a return to common sense.
