DMZ America co-hosts Ted Rall (from the Left) and Manila Chan (from the Right) analyze Donald Trump’s shocking reelection victory and the Republican sweep of Congress. What should we expect from a second Trump term: A federal ban on abortion rights? Mass deportations? Tariffs on Chinese imports? An end to the war in Ukraine? Gaza?
The Democratic blame game has already begun. Corporate DNC Democrats say Harris couldn’t have done anything differently, but that can’t possibly be true. Were working class voters turned off by glitzy campaign events showcasing Hollywood celebrities at a time when they were struggling with high prices and stagnant wages? Was progressive turnout depressed by Harris’ refusal to throw them a bone, especially on the genocide in Gaza? Did Democrats overreach with lawfare and an endless barrage of attacks against Trump rather than state an affirmative policy case for Kamala?
Or is it just a very conservative country?

A second Trump term?
My suspicion is this: The media has spent an enormous amount of time and energy “arguing” that a Trump victory would basically mean the end of ‘Mericuh. In January 2029? I suspect that Trump (if he’s still alive) will exit the Oval Office. The dems, the police, the judiciary, etc.? “We can’t arrest him. We have to show ‘respect’ for the office. Besides, we have to discard our ‘ethics’ to think about our political futures. And no one important cares anymore anyway. Time to ‘turn the page on this tired rhetoric’ as some lost-to-history nobody said once.”
The question I’d like to ask? “Will the media finally admit, in 2029, when the country is still stumping along more or less the same as it ever was, ‘Yeah. We don’t know what the fuck we’re talking about. Not one of us has any credibility left. We should all commit ritual suicide to atone for the sin of being such inept babblers’?”
