Bad news for liberals: It’s still a conservative country

It’s not exactly clear how it happened. No one expected it, least of all the media and pollsters. But that promised big blue wave of Democratic victories across the country turned instead into a red tidal wave from coast to coast. Most liberal ballot issues in the states on everything from tax increases to racial preferences also came crashing down.

A significant reason for this turnaround in the election was the massive turnout spurred by President Trump on Election Day. The irony is that Trump’s coattails managed to pull hundreds of Republicans over the finish line, but he didn’t save himself from a razor-thin defeat in his race against President-elect Joe Biden.
