Reflections on Trump's Return

The unexpected election outcome of Donald Trump prompted feelings of familiarity and difference from the 2016 election. Observers noted that this time around, there was a sense of acceptance regarding his victory, despite the surprise, which contrasted sharply with the shock experienced in 2016. The discussion highlighted that a clearer electoral process and margins may have contributed to a perception of legitimacy in the choice voters made. This shift allowed for a more resigned acceptance rather than the existential dread that characterized previous reactions.
