Trump and America bury the Obama doctrine

Judging by their lectures successful nan campaign’s closing weeks, Barack and Michelle Obama are surely very disappointed successful nan American group today: We’ve all once again fallen short of their expectations . . . that we ballot for illustration a bunch of Europeans.

Sharing successful nan disappointment are nan editors of The New York Times, whose tract for overmuch of Wednesday was topped by:

‘TRUMP’S AMERICA’

VICTORY CHANGES NATION’S SENSE OF ITSELF

That led a “news analysis” (i.e., an editorial for illustration this one, but pretending otherwise) from nan paper’s Peter Baker bemoaning nan public’s terrible, senseless decision, complete pinch references to Mussolini.

OK, fine: Trump’s victory whitethorn alteration Baker and nan Obamas’ consciousness of America — but that was always their self-flattering fantasy, a screen for their heavy contempt for nan nationalist arsenic it really is and has been. 

What Americans voted for Tuesday, including galore pinch a heavy distaste for Trump’s persona and theatrics, is simply a return to a clip earlier Obama and an extremity to a extremist doctrine he created (that became wide cant) of societal division, grievance and forced societal engineering.

They voted for prosperity for all. 

Peace done strength.

Sane societal policies that don’t presume our federation was built connected bigotry nor insist you request to beryllium a biologist to opportunity what a female is.

Which is what nan federation thought it was voting for backmost successful 2008 to motorboat nan Obama era.

Then, voters were sick of seemingly pointless wars, appalled and impoverished by a ruinous-to-average-folks financial crisis. 

While galore took an added pleasance successful voting successful our first achromatic president, we weren’t looking for a progressive revolution.

But Obama, for illustration a kid calved connected 3rd guidelines who thinks he’s deed a triple, saw himself arsenic a visionary prophet — and forced that gyration connected america anyway.

Voters responded pinch nan “shellacking” of nan 2010 midterms.

Yes, they re-elected Obama successful 2012 — but only because he managed to overgarment his force arsenic an force of nan communal man.

Yet he someway still figured those resisting his imagination were dimly “clinging to guns and religion.”

And he chose a successor each spot arsenic arrogant, but worse astatine hiding it: Hillary “Deplorables” Clinton — who mislaid to Trump successful an epic daze to nan elites.

And who past offered each mode of vows to understand Trump’s voters — only to instantly driblet them erstwhile fixed nan chance to constitute Trump disconnected arsenic fluke imposed connected nan federation by acheronian Russiagate dealings.

America voted for normalcy again successful 2020, arsenic that was what Joe Biden offered.

Except Biden then delivered the reverse — needlessly unfastened borders; immense and brazenly governmental spending successful lieu of immoderate existent strategy for economical growth; a warfare connected American energy; gobs and gobs of claptrap wokery; a continued overseas argumentation of appeasement that only emboldened and rewarded our enemies.

When Obama past installed Kamala Harris arsenic nan latest look of his revolution, nan American nationalist of each colors, ages and genders yet called time. 

Voters astatine past saw done nan industrialized demonization of Trump and woke up to nan truth that his policies are acold person to nan American perfect and what they see normal.

Americans’ consciousness of this federation ne'er really changed.

Let’s each believe that our self-proclaimed betters successful their Martha’s Vineyard mansions will yet recognize that this was nan decease of “Obamaism” erstwhile this latest thumping afloat sinks in.
