Good evening and welcome and happy anniversary. Tonight is the one year anniversary of Trump's second election to the presidency. It was a year ago tonight that Donald Trump not only won, but won a majority of the popular vote. And not only won a majority of the popular vote, but won with a coalition that was broader than any Republican coalition probably since 1984 with the Reagan landslide. So a 40 year coalition. And at the time, looking at not just how many people voted, but who voted, it seemed really obvious if you were interested in keeping the left at bay and the Republicans in power for, say, the next generation or two, you would copy exactly what Donald Trump did because no one else has done it in 40 years.
He created this amazing, not just landslide, not really a landslide, but it was an amazing victory for in an environment in which most people assumed you couldn't have an authoritative victory because the country is just too closely divided. So it was an amazing thing that Donald Trump did a year ago. So the election was a year ago. That means the midterm election is a year from now. in the next presidential election two years after that. So it's probably not too early to start thinking through what comes after Donald Trump. No disrespect to the sitting president, but of course, there's going to be something after him because he can't run again. And leads to say people are thinking about that, and not only are they thinking about it, they're already arguing and fighting about it.
There is what Politico is calling a civil war in the Republican Party. And it's over, of course, identity, because the only wars we have in this country, the only sanctioned wars we have domestically are about identity, BLM, anti-Semitism. Of course, it's not really what they're ever about. These are proxy wars. These are wars waged on behalf of people who aren't directly participating for reasons that are never openly stated. And this war is actually about what comes after Donald Trump. Does the Republican Party, the party that now has power and a lot of money, revert to what it was before Trump? Or does it continue to evolve in the direction that Trump has steered it? That's the question. And on that question hangs a lot.
Well, control of the most powerful country in the world, control of the free world, such as it is, the shrinking free world, and an awful lot of jobs for people and an awful lot of military power. So there is a lot at stake in this contest. So consider the two choices here. You can go with the Republican Party as it was, which is basically neoconservative foreign policy, libertarian economic policy. The Republican Party of the think tanks in Washington of the Wall Street Journal editorial page of all the deep thinkers in the Republican Party. Deep thinkers in the... The ones who are always invoking, you know, the same three Reagan quotes and quoting Tocqueville incorrectly and, you know, doing their little were erudite impression.
Or does it continue to become what it is currently becoming, which is the party of Donald Trump? Well, what is that? What is MAGA exactly? How do you make America great again? Well, Donald Trump, in his sort of signature way, which is to say never quite spelling everything all the way out, because he's not very ideological, but instead sort of leading by implication and by action, The position of Donald Trump in the last election was America first. And what does America first means? America first means, very simply, the U.S. government should act foremost on behalf of American citizens, which is to say every big decision the U.S. government makes should keep in mind the top of the list of concerns. How does this affect the people who pay for this and who I represent?
And again, most people thought that was their system that we already had. Turns out it wasn't. Donald Trump awakened all of us to that. The system was not acting in the interest of the country. It was acting really without reference to the people who live in the country.
