Trump wins! How it happened and what's next

Podcast Notes Playlist: Latest Episodes

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

Key Takeaways

• The Trump win represents a dismissal of Wokeism and judgmentalism and is a ringing endorsement of meritocracy and common sense
• Donald Trump has increased his support across the electorate; except for two demographic groups (65+ and white college women), every single demographic group shifted towards Republican from 2020 to 2024
• Comparing Trump votes from 2020 to 2024 in areas that are bastions of elitist liberal thinking:
  • In California, Trump lost by 29 points in 2020; he lost by 17 points in 2024
  • In New York, Trump lost by 23 points in 2020; he lost by 12 in 2024
• The current Democratic Party base consists of the elites: The overeducated, affluent, and non-religious types who are disconnected from the reality of most Americans
  • If these people stay in control of the Democratic Party, the Republicans will probably have an electoral majority for the foreseeable future
  • “I think that the Democrats will lose one of California or New York in the next eight years.” – Chamath
• “The legacy media spell is broken. Their credibility has been destroyed and I think that the repudiation of the legacy media is one of the most important results of this election. It just shows that the Democrats had a trillion-dollar propaganda machine on their side and Trump was still able to win.” – David Sacks
• Science is the constant process of questioning whether you are right or wrong; reasserting the scientific process of skepticism in federal agencies may help restore trust and faith in our institutions
• “In the most basic calculation, the bottom fell out of the Democratic Party.” – Chamath
• Donald Trump won because his focus is on solving real problems that are affecting Americans
• “Americans love winners and innovation, and they hate socialism and woke nonsense – it’s time for a hard reset.” – Jason
