Trump's victory only shocks self-righteous elites

This conservative commentator welcomes the resounding success of the Republican billionaire in the presidential election. A snub to traditional media and privileged graduates, who have forgotten the promise of America, he asserts in the columns of the “New York Post”.

The only thing less surprising than Trump's triumph is the media's surprise at the latter. With rare exceptions, our self-appointed national elites still do not understand the nature of the nation they claim to lead.

They think Americans are happy to see an economy that devalues ​​manual labor and over-rewards intellectual labor.

They believe that Americans are increasingly demanding the dissolution of traditional norms, and that the sooner they are destroyed, the better.

They are wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

A promise still real

Americans who voted for Trump do not see his victory as the end of democracy; it is the perpetuation of the domination of elites over the economic and cultural life of the country which they consider to be the negation of democracy.

What do elites not understand in the phrase “All men are created equal”?

The American people know that this promise is both “obvious” and the beating heart of America.

The American people know today that this promise is real, even if its application remains imperfect (we are fallible human beings, after all).

Emmanuel Romano, an industrial engineer living in Paso de los Toros, in central Uruguay, said he owns one of the three EVs in the town of 13,000 people. He bought the Tesla from AutoImport and usually stops to charge it at a public charger when he drives to the capital Montevideo, around 270 kilometers away.

Freedom and responsibility

The American people want what Americans have always wanted: a state strong enough to relieve them of the burdens they cannot shake off themselves, and then extricate them from there.
The American people see no contradiction between traditional norms and human freedom and diversity.

He wants freedom and responsibility.

The American people want a state that respects the livelihood of all Americans, not a state that showers the privileged classes with tax breaks and subsidies and crushes with taxes, regulations and contempt those who do not have no college degree.
