Liberal naysayers were thoroughly flabbergasted when the American electorate showed them exactly how out of touch they really are. A storm of “Roe-vember” talk filled the air, accompanied by predictions of an overwhelming backlash from Puerto Ricans against Trump. They painted the former president as a modern-day fascist, Hitler in a suit, and a grave threat to democracy itself. Yet, the voters had other ideas, and the result was a jubilant return of Trump to the White House.
The comeback was nothing short of spectacular, with Trump likely claiming around 312 Electoral College votes and securing a convincing popular vote to boot. This is what those in the political arena call a mandate. Let there be no mistake: the American people sent a clear message that they aren’t buying the liberal vision of the world.

The media’s reaction? Complete and utter chaos. Left-wing pundits were beside themselves. On MSNBC, Joy Reid was practically unraveling on air, her disbelief palpable as she confronted reality. Jonathan Capehart over at PBS was also having quite a meltdown, perhaps mixing his commentary with a healthy dose of denial. It was a marvel to witness, really, how professionalism can be tossed aside in the face of a loss.
Even on a network like Fox News, which is often considered slightly more rational, Juan Williams managed to embarrass himself in front of viewers, his claims sounding increasingly desperate. Meanwhile, CNN’s talking heads struggled to even acknowledge that Trump had won, a feat usually associated with avoiding the reality right in front of them.
As the night dragged on, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle attempted to make the case that “misinformation” was to blame for Kamala Harris’s defeat, while Van Jones twisted his reasoning around sexism and racism, shedding a few tears to tell the tale. David Axelrod sat in a corner somewhere, clinging to the idea that Harris had overperformed expectations, blissfully ignoring that she didn’t even manage to outperform Joe Biden in a single county. Talk about being delusional when the evidence is laid bare.

In a final uproar, Chris Hayes took to the airwaves to criticize the Electoral College despite the fact that it had helped Trump win the popular vote. Symone Sanders on MSNBC became nearly unintelligible in her attempt to make sense of a night filled with voter idiocy that clearly contradicted her narrative. Watching the left’s collective breakdown was like observing a train wreck in slow motion, making it all the more satisfying for conservative Americans who knew the truth ahead of time.
