Donald Trump is again President. Did you feel the atmosphere changed?

When the second Trump administration is dawn, or for his enemies, there is an interesting and unusual discussion in the United States that has a more broader meaning of Trump’s victory. One of the unusual things is that there is a consensus beyond opinions on basic points. American politics had an important “change in atmosphere”.

It is usually not a way to work. All the winning party claims a kind of “new era”, but the loser usually opposes. Historically, Ideo Rogue and activists are fully confident in their views in order to claim that mere election loses are in sucking or one -time candidate, defective campaigns, economic conditions, etc. Because it is (and invest). “Our ideas are not a problem, just nominated the wrong candidates,” was a long -standing port that was traditional ideology, psychological, and political security for the loser.

In the 2024 election, it does not mean that it does not provide much food for such interpretations. Trump’s victory was modest. His margin at the election university is ranked 44th out of 60 contests. He won the popularity voting with 1.5 points. This was not a landslide. Camala Harris was far from the ideal candidate and had little time to compile the campaign. Joe Biden was not permanently popular and was physically insufficient in his work. Inflation is a political cancer for incumbent. And we heard all of it in a traditional blame immediately after the election.

However, the shift conversation with an atmosphere is more basic than pointing. Trump’s “Cultural Victory” is the words of Ezra Kleinist, a New York Times columnist, and feels “Tectonic”. He suggests four factors about why this is: right on the right, and the company is looking for an opportunity to return to the middle after a sudden fall to the left. Trump maintains his attention to his own presidential position.

I do not fundamentally oppose any of these partial explanations, but they fully agree that they are happening and why progressive has changed. I do not catch it. For example, another important factor is that MAGA is part of a larger global phenomenon. Populism and nationalism are increasing in Europe, Latin America and India. History is often divided by such a moment (for example, the student’s protest movement broke out around the world in the 1960s). The trend of forming American politics -global financial crisis, large -scale immigrants, COVID -19, inflation were not included in our border.

But I think the most important factor in changing the atmosphere is that Trump and Trump have broken almost metaphysical consensus on right and left politics.

The American conservatism before Trump was dedicated to a limited government, cultural traditional, aborted politics, financial mercy, and the free market economy. Well, I am the first person who acknowledged that the right thing often reached the ideal, but indicating the ideal rhetorical loyalty was a conservative binding sky. These commitments still receive some kind of lip service, but in all of these aspects, they do not deny that loyalty to Trump is an imminent litomus test. As a result, Trump has generally moved abortion, qualifications and economic policies to the left.

As I think this was conservative, Trump’s victory may be more damaged to the left. He generally broke down political consensus, as Trump did not simply crush the right consensus. Alternatively, social media and other trends only benefited from the new landscape of the abused Lam and Trump.

In any case, the bedrock has the fact that it is no longer practical on the assumption of the rock in the work of politics and the rules for whether a politician cannot do it. We are all familiar with how his actions have demonstrated, but it is also revealed that the righteous authority is only different today. The FDR Union is gone, the white workers are currently in operation, and the Latin and black workers are now considered to be obtained by Republican members. The assumption that they are “natural Democrats” have disappeared in this election. Republicans have found a way to talk to those constituencies.

Meanwhile, the progressive of the FDR era, the racial of the post citizenship and the feminist’s discourse, found that many voters (their voters) do not want to hear it anymore. 。 The sense of sensation, history, population statistics, or the sense that the “moral arc of the universe” is no longer bent in your direction is called “shift of atmosphere”.
