Welcome to Trump 2020 and Beyond

After it was clear that Donald Trump won the election, I wrote some takeaways and predictions. Among them:

However, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if, at the end of 4 years, he has higher approval ratings than Obama ever did.

And look at the latest approval numbers from Rasmussen. 50% approve.

50%.

Obama, by comparison, had a 43% approval rating at the same time during his presidency.

It’s doubtful the Democratic party will be able to put up a strong candidate to unify behind.  By the time the primaries comes around, the party will put up some sacrificial lambs, much like the Republicans did with Clinton in 1996. And then hope they can solve their own identity crisis before 2024.

Welcome to Trump 2020 and beyond. And yet again, people will be shocked and surprised, because no one has really learned their lesson. Something else I wrote in that same piece:

Echo chambers around the country cracked open, and amongst the hissing caused by the release of stale air, comes crying and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Instead of getting some much needed sunlight, however, they will soon retreat back into those same chambers, covering the cracks with duct tape.

The Left will not learn their lesson, and will continue to belittle, shame, and insult those who disagree with them. And try to get them fired or ruin their livelihoods.

So far this seems pretty on the nose. Many have already retreated back into their insular social media circles to continue to pat themselves on the back for having the right opinions. For bodysnatcher-screeching at and scolding all the right people.

And then they will again be surprised about how many people voted for Trump. It’s like the same script is playing out again.
