The U.S. presidential election came down to the clevers versus the normals, guest John Robson tells Brian Lilley this week. Those succeeding in the establishment’s ever-more-complicated system of official and unofficial rules around work, business, education and identity politics went for Kamala Harris. Everyone else — feeling left behind, ignored and scorned — went for Donald Trump. Including many minorities. Robson, an American historian and National Post columnist, says Trump is clearly unfit for the White House, so it should petrify Democrats that they’re seen as worse. But it shows that the anti-western, woke-activist, mass-immigration, climate-obsessed political package repulses people everywhere. And, as the Trudeau Liberals are discovering, the common-people counter-revolt is building in Canada, too. (Recorded Nov. 8, 2024.)
