Vice President Kamala Harris made history as the first woman to certify the results of her loss of the American Presidency on Monday. It was her duty as Vice President to certify President Trump to his second term to a joint session of Congress. Al Gore did the same thing when he lost the office to George Bush Junior.
The New York Post calls this the “end of the Obama era.” By that, they mean “a kind of manifest destiny of the left, adopted in the second Obama term, that promises an ever-diversifying electorate would inexorably vote Democratic and must therefore be patronized with cartoonish appeals to identity and big government wardship.” The Obama era also led to open borders, a Green New Deal to appeal to environmentalists, a shadow government, massive cancel culture and accompanying online authoritarianism.
We celebrate the end of all of that IF it is really the end. But could it be? Or could this addictive power just morph into a new swamp under the second Trump administration? Who amongst us is holding our breath that all of this is actually dead? Some advice: Don’t do that.
