Americans Reject ‘Unholy Trinity’—But Can Real Change Happen Amidst Media, Academia, and Government Resistance?

In the 2024 election, actual voters decided what they were being told by important institutions was simply untrue and unacceptable.  No matter how hard Democrats, the legacy media, academia, the world of entertainment, and even the government itself tried, Americans concluded things needed to change.  

That is all part of the reason, despite the shrieks of “our democracy is under fundamental threat,” the highest percentage of voters in the last 20 plus years say we are on the right track, President’s personal and job approval numbers are good enough that nightly CNN and MSNBC spin themselves dizzy trying to find some honest statistical basis to argue “Americans have come to their senses and cannot wait to get to the ballot box to send President Trump a message.”  In reality, other than their smaller by the day echo chamber, they have been so wrong for so long on so many things, normal people just roll their eyes and tune them out.

At the end of the day, the Unholy Trinity (legacy media, academia, and the world of entertainment) will bend to the will of the public, or they will go out of business.  The legacy media needs to actually engage in honest journalism.  Academic institutions force feeding Woke ideology are being increasingly rejected.  Even Hollywood is starting to make movies that normal people want to watch.

Since Americans have loudly said a big no to the views of Democrats and the Unholy Trinity, what could hold back new policy initiatives from becoming reality?  Three things.  First, Democrats in office will not yield an inch.  Between the House and Senate, a total of two of them could muster the courage to vote to ban biological males from competing against biological females.  No, it is not the biggest issue, which just underscores how rigid and unyielding Democrats are and promise to be in the future.  It says here being the opposition party does not demand extremism.

Second, you have those in the career service within the Federal Government.  Fox’s David Marcus recently encapsulated this to explain the Biden Presidency.  “Maybe we were governed by something much closer to an invisible hand of wokeness.  Maybe we were governed by a twisted worldview, not a conspiracy or solitary figure.”

Any and all data indicates Democrats who have made clear their partisanship dominate the Civil Service.  A survey last April of 500 bureaucrats making $75,000 or more living in the National Capital Region, conducted by the Napoleon Institut,e shows what partisanship in the career service means.  Even if they disagreed with the policy, how would they handle a directive they knew to be legal? 

76 percent of Harris voters within the government said they would “do what (they) thought best.”    Only 16 percent said they would follow orders.  (Nine percent were unsure.).  For Trump voters, it was 80 percent follow orders, 18 percent do what they thought best.  More than half of the entire sample, 56 percent, said they would embrace their own political agendas and either strongly resist or somewhat resist Trump’s America First agenda.  16 percent would neither support nor resist. 

Third, there is our current judicial system.  All you need is access to the news to see with your own eyes that numerous judges place their views on social justice ahead of the actual law.  Judges’ outright claiming sentences for convicted criminals should include consideration of a person’s race, despite what the law says.  The recent flurry of decisions to halt the deportation of illegal immigrants is another indication of partisan ideology being more important than a consistent legal standard for things such as due process.  Somehow, when President Obama oversaw the deportation of hundreds of thousands of illegals, due process did not include anything resembling what is now said to be required by these activist judges.

Remember this: the American people have already rejected the arguments of the Unholy Trinity.  Democrats are unlikely to change their approach.  To make real progress, requires civil servants to play it straight and a judicial system where justice is absent a political agenda.  What do you think?
