664: At some point, the elite will have to recognize that this is a republic. Michael Vlahos, @JHUWorldCrisis

Our electoral map is discontinuous with the past. In the process of running well, gaining votes from perhaps half the American population, Trump’s presidential authority has been reaffirmed. The blue and red elite anticipated the end of Trump. Even Nature magazine has been completely politicized: “Trump will destroy science; only Biden can save it.” Citizens who cling “to their Bibles and their guns” – talking down to voters. At some point, the elite will have to recognize that this is a republic, and our votes are as valuable as theirs. The problem is them—they don’t want to accept the Deplorables as their equals. A gigantic excruciating allegory. Jake Tapper leads the rush from the sinking ship. Trump is not the evil cause of all that’s wrong with America; he represents those who feel spurned, insulted and injured by the elite. Biden called them chumps.
