Today is the first day of the second Trump administration. That’s a sentence that, just four years ago, would’ve been hard, if not impossible, to imagine saying out loud. In order to prevent today’s inauguration, Trump was indicted multiple times, defamed, sued, kicked off the ballot in multiple states, and ultimately shot in the head. But against all odds, none of those tactics worked and as a result, Donald Trump is currently, once again, the president of the United States.
There are a lot of ways you can measure the extent of the historic transformation that this country is about to undergo. You could look at the hundreds of executive orders that Trump is signing today — orders that will enable oil drilling, end DEI in the military, establish the Department of Government Efficiency, secure the border, and so on. You could also look at how our culture is clearly changing, as evidenced by the steady stream of tech executives and celebrities who are now publicly supporting Trump. Censorship, open borders, and political oppression aren’t appealing to most Americans. And now their government will finally reflect that.
