Americans didn't vote for Donald Trump because they wanted to "preserve norms," whatever that could possibly mean coming from the mouths of people who broke every political rule in the book to destroy him.

 Presented with as clear a choice as possible between the establishment and a crew determined to crush it, Americans were very clear: TEAR IT DOWN. 

Trump didn't run to be a modest correction to the status quo, and he didn't win because of any particular policy proposal. He won because a majority of Americans are disgusted by our establishment and how it has abused us. 

Trump has a mandate. He must use it to remake the power structure in society. 

Squishy Republicans in the House and Senate will hem and haw, squirm and squeal, and they will speak of caution and the midterms. 

Don't let them betray the millions of Americans who genuinely voted for the Trump Vance Musk Kennedy Shanahan Ramaswamy team. You don't assemble a dream team to play T-ball. 

 Bureaucrats must be fired. The military leadership must be changed. The Department of Education should be axed. The FBI should be moved out of Washington. Entire agencies should be ejected from Washington and dispersed to the states. Anthony Fauci should be investigated, and when it is proven he committed perjury before Congress he should be jailed. 

It's time to clean the Augean stables, drain the swamp, or whatever metaphor you like to use for cleaning up a huge mess. It's not just the policies that were bad; the entire system has been corrupted and must be replaced. If a #resistance exists, as it did in Trump's first term, it must be rooted out and destroyed. 

It's not the Fani Willises or Alvin Braggs who need to be punished. They are bit players, and Trump should ignore them. They are not threats to Americans. Our elite is, and they need to be driven out of power. We don't want or need revenge; we need to crush the elite who have been destroying our country. 

The transnational elite went all-in on defeating Trump because they feared he was an existential threat to their dominance over the Western world. 

He had better be. That's the reason I and millions of people voted for him. I want to see the World Economic Forum become radioactive. I want to see our "allies" in Europe bullied into becoming responsible partners, not tantrum-throwing toddlers who try to push us around. I want to see Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran pushed into the trashbin of history. And I want Xi running scared and worried about confronting the United States. 

Over the past decade or more the transnational elite have broken every norm and countless laws going after Donald Trump and his supporters. They have lied, created hoaxes, rioted, shut down the country, perverted science, mandated the most absurd actions such as masks and vaccines, censored us, and thrown their political opponents in jail. 

Show them no mercy. None. Zip. Nada. 

We have to restore the Constitutional order--and do that Constitutionally. We shouldn't do what they did, but we shouldn't shy from punishing the people who did all this. They should pay a price--as big a price as we can lawfully make them pay. 

General Mark Milley, for instance, should face a court martial for calling his Chinese counterpart and conspiring against the president. That was near treason and a rejection of the bedrock principle of civilian control over the military. 

If anything, Trump was far too forgiving during his first term. This time around he has to forget trying to be loved--and yes, he really does want to be loved even by his enemies--and just steamroll them. 

The model for his administration should be shock and awe. Overwhelm the left with action after action. Duane's analysis was right:

Donald Trump cannot waste one day. The left, and especially regime media, will spend every waking moment trying to bait the President-Elect into responding to one false controversy or another, or trying to get him to snipe at someone who said something bad about him, not for any other reason than to distract him from getting anything constructive done.

Donald Trump and his transition team needs to avoid the debris and start today forming who will be nominated to what post and when they'll come up for hearings, and coordinate with Senate leadership as soon as they organize for the new term to get people up on the Hill and confirmed as soon as possible. They must turn Elon Musk loose immediately. Show a track record of immediate action, and this could end up being a long run in power, regardless of whether J.D. Vance or Ron DeSantis emerge in 2028 as the standard-bearer. 

Enjoy the moment, never trust regime media again, understand that until they're proven different, every poll not named Atlas Intel is probably off by a couple points to the left, and that on issues that matter, we actually are not a 50/50 country. Our side is making a more compelling argument that's resonating with a majority of Americans. The pendulum has begun to swing back in our direction.

The election wasn't that close. Trump has a mandate. It's high time to use it effectively and cross items off the list of promises as expeditiously as possible. 

I am comforted by the fact that this time around Trump will not have to lean on the establishment to staff his administration. He doesn't need Mitch McConnell's advice, or Paul Ryan's. He has Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy at his side instead. People who know how to do things, not position themselves for the next gig. 

The current "world order" doesn't work for us. The United Nations is corrupt and even evil. The European Union is a suicide pact for the continent and a danger to Americans' rights. The refugee "crisis" is a product of a NGO system that works against Western Civilization. The medical and pharmaceutical establishment is solipsistic and concerned only about money and control. 

It's all corrupt, and it needs to go. 

America is blessed with the most ingenious, hardworking, innovative, and decent population in world history. We attract the best and the brightest from around the world. The core of America is still healthy, because what makes America is our people. 

The biggest thing holding us back is the parasitical elite. It must be destroyed. 

No mercy.
