Here’s the thing to understand about Donald J. Trump: He is like Batman. He is vengeance.
That is the theme of Trump II. Trump has said this before: that he is the vengeance of the common man.
That’s taken by the Left to mean he’s going to jail his political opponents and use all of the facets of government to target the people he hates.
But that’s not what Trump means when he says he is your vengeance.
He means that the American people have been victimized by a small group of elitists who have decided that their morality is superior to those of Americans, that they ought to be able to rule every area of American life using their pseudo-expertise.
Trump is the revenge of the normies. He’s the revenge of the common man.

He is vengeance. And that vengeance continues to tread across the American body politic.
Here’s a kind of frivolous example: There’s a hot fight that has now broken out in the House of Representatives over a representative who calls himself Sarah McBride. Sarah McBride is a man named Tim McBride who changed his name to Sarah and identifies as a trans person. He insists on using the ladies bathroom, even though, of course, he’s a dude.
Rep. Nancy Mace, who just happens to be a female, as in biological female, has now sponsored a rule on the House floor. This rule says that if you’re a lady, you ought to use the ladies’ room; if you’re a dude, you ought to use the dudes’ room.
Mace was asked if her effort entailed a response to Congresswoman McBride coming to Congress? She answered:
Yes, absolutely, and then some. I’m not going to stand for a man — if someone with a penis is in the women’s locker room, that’s not okay. And I’m a victim of abuse myself. I’m a rape survivor. I have PTSD from the abuse I’ve suffered at the hands of a man. And I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces. So I’m absolutely, 100%, going to stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women’s restroom, in our locker rooms, in our changing rooms. I will be there fighting every step of the way.
Nancy Mace: clear, concise and very brutally honest.
This, of course, angered Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic minority leader, who stated, “As Katherine Clark indicated, the notion that this incoming small House Republican Conference majority is beginning to transition to the new Congress by bullying a member of Congress. This is what we’re doing? This is the lesson that you’ve drawn?”
The lesson that you have drawn is to continue to maintain an absolute falsehood. And that falsehood has been purveyed throughout our culture, throughout our society, to the point where people are afraid to speak basic common sense such as: boys are boys, and girls are girls.
We are all tired of this. We’re done. When there is a norm, when there is a center to a civilization, it’s not difficult to tolerate people on the fringe as part of the system, because if there is a center of gravity, the planets will circle that center of gravity.
But when a decision is made — as the Left has decided to do over the course of my lifetime — to destroy the center of gravity, when the center no longer holds, when the norm has been destroyed in the name of the fringe, eventually a new gravity will form. Eventually there will be a new center.
The new center now is that the bulk of people, particularly in America, are still normies. And the new center is going to look a lot like the old center.
That is what is happening right now. That is what’s happening with Team Trump.
The political effect of this is that the Left pushed too far in one direction — and the snapback is coming.
