From Zombie:
Donald Trump’s victory in November was not only the most important election result of our lifetimes, but ranks as one of the most significant events in recorded history, on par with the French Revolution or the fall of the Berlin Wall. And I’ll tell you why.
Western society is super-saturated with leftist propaganda. Politically astute non-leftists see it everywhere and complain about it incessantly — because it is ubiquitous. In fact, most of our waking hours are spent noticing, commenting upon, getting outraged by and then futilely combatting the endless, relentless leftist slant to everything in modern culture.
Every news broadcast. Every movie. Every lesson in every classroom. Every social signifier in public. Every poll. Every TV show. Every tribal shibboleth. In ways large and small, overt and covert, subtle and blatant, the society around us is infused with progressive ideals and agendas, whether you realize it or not.
And it’s not just the entire preschool-through-PhD educational system, the entire media/entertainment complex, and most interpersonal environments; increasingly, under Obama especially, the federal government itself has become an inescapable agent of coercive progressive propaganda imposed on us with the full force of the state.
But what is the purpose of all this propaganda?GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

May it be so that Trump's election is a pivotal point!
I agree that Trump's win is huge (or is it "Yuge?") if not for any other reason that he stands a good chance of reshaping the SCOTUS for a generation or more and in three hours time on Election Night reduced the leftist wing of the Democrat party to a pile crying, smoldering rubble. I have high hopes for Mr. Trump because I think he will do what he said and I think he has an A+, top-notch, conservative cabinet. All that said, I am approaching this with a sober mind. I do not want to view Mr. Trump as a messiah figure like the left viewed Obama. That is a recipe for disaster; and I do not even think Mr. Trump wants to be viewed that way. I believe he would be content to be judged on his results, not just the expectations we have for his administration.

Agree about being level-headed and refusing to see Trump and others as messianic figures, can remember years back elsewhere of people on other blogs rationalizing GWB's bad decisions from 9/11 onwards as if he were a master poker or chess player when being called out by people on the right.
Arguably Trump on rhetoric alone is how the US SHOULD have reacted at minimum post-9/11 (15-16 years later), though it is still early days until Trump is officially inaugurated president so am taking a wait and see approach.
