The 2016 and 2020 campaigns were much more Boomer-coded than this time around. We saw Gen X and Millennials taking a much more active role, both politically and narratively. Typified by figures like Elon Musk(gen x) and JD Vance(gen x, on the verge of millenial). It shows that boomer truth regime doesn't need to be the center of politics anymore.
One somber aspect is the extent the pro-life movement collapsed once it went to the states. If there's one aspect of the right that needs rejuvenating, it's them.
The Pro-Life Movement at a national level certainly did not help by campaigning on an issue they never thought would go away (Roe) and then being very liberal on a lot of other issues. I think being pro natalist will help the pro life movement in the long run, but the infrastructure needs a lot of work.
Looks like the elderly will be the new de facto left-wing voting bloc. The "Archie Bunker" republicans of yesteryear have been phased out in favor of 70-year-old childless cat ladies. Trump won the 65+ vote by 9% in 2016, and yesterday they tied it. As the Silent Generation/Greatest Generation goes extinct, Boomers have been displacing the senior vote in the last 8 years. Trump got 28% percent of 19–29-year-olds in 2016 compared to 46% this election. The wind is blowing in the right direction, we have a promising future ahead!
Great short and concise article. We get one day to enjoy all the coping and seething, but then it's straight to work from here on out. Only by the grace of God have we been given more time. Time to fortify our hometowns.
About as well as I could have hoped it would go. Wonder what hijinks the deep state will get up to this time. I know cities were boarding up, I haven't even checked to see if blue cities are going nuts over this, in the streets destroying stuff.
Our work and fight has only begun. Rest now lads but come next week its time to push hard. Love the article, you hit it on the head.

there are many more problems to be sorted out, it will take time
Indeed.
Just a quick take, more to work on and more to address.
