They Voted
Notes de l’épisode
November 6, 2026
On Tuesday, Americans rejected the Trump administration, They voted to end corruption, end Trump’s war on Iran, end costly tariffs, and end masked agents kidnapping Black and Brown people off the streets, They voted for a country based on the rule of law, and for the multicultural country mocked by Trump and his loyalists, Hispanic voters swung back toward the Democrats, Black voters turned out in unusually high nmbers, voting for Democrats at higher rates than in 2024, Trump initially appeared dazed by the rebuke, but he woke up, ousting Susie Wiles as chief of staff and replacing her with Stephen Miller, Miller, a fervent white nationalist, has been a powerful force in the White House, Miller hsa been central to undermining disability rights, Miller is also a supporter of Russia and its war against Ukraine, Elevating Miller signals that Trump doesn’t care what Americans want, and a warning to Repubicans to stay in line.
