The Lessons of Trump's Election Triumph
Briefly

As Isaac Chotiner explained, "polls appear to have been more accurate than they were in 2016, and especially more accurate than they were in 2020. Still, they underestimated Trump's support."
Evan Osnos noted, "When people are alienated, and still clawing their way back from the COVID era... the most comforting solution, for many, turned out to be snarling strength."
Cunningham wrote, "One thing I'm thinking about, is whether this election foretells a radical shift in campaign tactics, away from the 'ground' and even more ardently toward the Internet and whatever it is we mean when we say 'television' now."
Osnos added, "One thing we can say for sure: the Democratic Party will not be the same a year from now."
