Since Donald Trump took the stage at the Palm Beach Convention Center early Wednesday morning to deliver his freewheeling victory speech, Times Opinion’s columnists and contributors have been offering their insights and reactions, explaining how we got here and what the future holds.
Tyler Austin Harper argued that both political parties have fundamentally failed voters. Damon Linker wrote about what really brought Kamala Harris down. Daniel McCarthy explained how Trump met the moment, offering voters what they longed for most — change. And Miles Taylor, who served in the last Trump administration, issued a call to arms, urging principled conservatives to join the next administration, as painful as it might be for them.
Trump is now on track to clinch the popular vote, and Democrats are still taking stock of the damage down ballot. But already, the contours of our new reality are emerging. Carlos Lozada delivered a trenchant column about who we are as a nation. Maureen Dowd wrote about Trump’s enduring appeal. Bret Stephens laid the blame squarely at the feet of a Democratic Party of “prigs and pontificators.” And Michelle Goldberg wrote about an idea that’s haunted me since she first told me about it a few weeks ago: vnutrennaya emigratsia — a term the Russians use to describe their “internal exiles,” people so disillusioned by the chaos around them that they turn away from politics to the comfort of their family, to the refuge of books and art.
These next few years will test us as a nation. They will test whether decency, empathy and restraint can survive in an era of apathy and anger. Time and again, America has been pushed to the brink — but we survived those challenges. As our editorial board put it on Wednesday, “We are a nation that has always emerged from a crucible with its ideals intact and often toughened and sharpened.” For now, America has made its choice — decisively, if narrowly. And at last, we know who will lead us through this closing chapter of our first 250 years as a nation. But if history has taught us anything, it is that the next chapter is where the real story begins.
