The Trump Counterrevolution: A Return to Sanity—A Challenge to Entrenched Elites, Bureaucracies, and Progressive Ideologies

We are witnessing a historic counterrevolution following President Trump’s recent victory—and this is far different from his first election victory in 2016.

This from frontpagemag.com.

Critics claim “Trump has no mandate to stage such a counterrevolution.” They argue he did not win 51 percent of the popular vote or achieve a Reaganesque landslide in the Electoral College.

NOTE: The election fraud in the blue counties has detracted from Trump’s totals—but, a win is a win.

And all the initiatives he advanced, he has won on polled landslide public approval.

Despite being the target of communist/globalist lawfare for years, a defiant Trump promised to end:

– an open border,

– massive illegal immigration,

– rising crime, and

– soaring prices.

He pledged to slash government and its administrative state, terminate racial and gender identity politics, and restore deterrence abroad.

The people overwhelmingly wanted those messages but were waiting for an unorthodox messenger who would actually deliver them.

The Trump messenger reassured weary citizens they were not crazy.

Instead, they had good cause to be sick of being talked down to by a media, academic, bureaucratic, and political elite that never earned nor deserved such self-appointed status.

The FBI, the CIA, and the DOJ, not the massive crowds at rallies, were the ones truly out of control.

To wit:

– [Dementia] Joe Biden was really suffering from dementia, not those who said he was,

– Criminals with weapons are as deleterious to society as law-abiding citizens deprived of them,

– It is not a thought crime to believe there are two sexes—not three or four or more,

– No one should be forced to buy an electric vehicle, disconnect their natural gas stove, or submit to racial or gender indoctrination sessions,

– Americans should speak their minds and write what they wish without worry of being censored, blacklisted, ostracized, doxxed, or shadow-banned—or jailed, and

– Campuses are not oases of tolerance, disinterested inquiry, and free expression. They instead increasingly became overpriced indoctrination centers that shred the Constitution and graduate indebted students who know less—but are far more biased—than when they enrolled.

Trump and his MAGA appointees promise to slash over a trillion dollars from the annual federal budget, disbanding entire agencies.

The Left’s objection is that an ever-expanding government—$37 trillion in debt, running nearly $2 trillion in annual deficits—should continue to grow unchecked.

Trump pledges to reform the Pentagon—ending DEI Pentagon commissars and revolving-door corporate generalship.

He vows to hold the 4-star class responsible for the catastrophe in Afghanistan and to reenlist soldiers who were driven out due to draconian vaccination mandates or woke intolerance.

Further, Trump envisions changing the entire system of military procurement.

The status quo cannot rationally object on the grounds that our military leadership has been winning our wars abroad.

The Pentagon is not awash in eager recruits, nor does it have a huge stockpile of shells, bombs, and rockets.

Trump promises historic deportations of the 12 million-plus who destroyed the southern border and surged in without health or criminal audits.

Trump vows to rescue swamped social services and stop crimes by illegal alien felons.

The Left cannot begin to compare any of the above with The Obiden Regime’s unconstitutional importation of tens of millions of illegal aliens, empowered by drug-importing and sex-trafficking cartels.

Who are the culpable? Those flagrantly mocking and breaking the law, or those vowing to enforce it?

Trump says he will deter enemies without bogging America down in “endless wars”—recall, he did just that in his first four years as president.

The Obiden Regime has been:

– convincing enemies there are few consequences to their aggression,

– sandbagging allies like Israel, and

– feeding the war in Ukraine without any plan of either winning or ending it.

The Trump revolution is also cultural and social.

Shared class interests have replaced race, ethnicity, and gender chauvinism.

Athletes of all races are no longer taking a knee in protest of America’s supposed systemic racism during the national anthem. Sometimes they celebrate their scoring by doing honorific Trump YMCA/golf-swing dances on national television.

Enlistments to help craft the Trump counterrevolution will not be based on race and gender, nor on class.

For Trump, party identification, titles, and traditional prestige matter less as he is surrounded by an ideologically diverse cadre including Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy, Jr., Dana White, Tulsi Gabbard, and Joe Rogan.

The country no longer must apologize incessantly for its past or present but can move on—content that it need not be perfect to be better than all the alternatives.

Further:

The age of flashing pronouns, renaming iconic landmarks, statue toppling, trashing the dead, vandalizing with impunity the campus library, or spouting anti-Semitic venom is passing.

So, another name for the Trump counterrevolution is a simple return to sanity.

Final thoughts: May the intentional diminishment and destruction of our beloved country be at an end. From January 20, 2025, forward may those who sought to destroy as well as those who continue to seek to destroy our wonderful American culture and our beautiful nation be dealt with most harshly. Deterrence should be of utmost concern, for rehabilitation of those with such evil intent would truly be rare.
