It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times. Seriously, it was the worst of times!

How could a half-black, half-Asian, comparatively young woman lose so handily to a straight white male?! Hasn’t Donald Trump learned that he’s the recipient of a veritable mountain of privilege? In the name of justice, he should step aside and yield his space to this poor oppressed woman. Did he learn nothing in the Great Awokening of 2020?

It couldn’t possibly be that Americans have definitively rejected the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI™) dogma rooted in the Marxist idea that ostensibly oppressed minorities must rise up against their oppressors, can it? Don’t tell me that Marxism has failed to produce its great revolution of the masses yet again—it can’t be!

Only, it is, and it’s a bright new day in America because the straight white male who promised real change prevailed over the woke DEI hire who represented the status quo, of which Americans are rightly sick and tired.

The last decade or so has shown that efforts to paper over the elites’ real problems with skin-deep genuflection to the Left’s gods of race, class, and gender have utterly failed. Americans are struggling, and it’s not because their leadership class isn’t diverse enough.

Kamala Harris represented the elites’ ultimate attempt to paper over what everyone knows isn’t working with a shiny new gloss of diversity. When leftists scream that America rejected Harris because the country is racist, sexist, or [insert your favorite pet cause]-phobic, they show how truly out of touch they are.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is closer to the mark, although President Joe Biden tried a great deal of Sanders’ preferred policies, and we all know how that worked out. Trump represents real change, and that’s what the country wanted this year—even more than they wanted it in 2016.

The Democrats have already begun the age-old tradition of finger-pointing in the aftermath of defeat, and there are indeed many factors that help explain what happened on Nov. 5. Sure, polls showed that Democrats didn’t want Biden to run for reelection, and by dropping out of the race so late, he weakened Harris’ chances. Sure, Harris didn’t go on Joe Rogan’s........
