Among a lot of screaming, crying, whining, threats to leave the US, and blaming various minority groups yesterday this actually showed some signs of self awareness.
Some have described is essentially conservative and I can see why. The question is whether or not the far lest extremists that currently control the DFL can put their ideology aside and actually reflect on what was communicated in this election. I firmly believe that in many demographics it was an emphatic repudiation of the extreme leftist agenda and (as Bernie put it, abandoning the working class), more than an enthusiastic endorsement of Trump as a person. While I'm happy with the outcome in my opinion, it was influenced as much by the complete failure of the DFL to run an attractive candidate with a compelling vision that included a majority of Americans, as by people wholly endorsing Trump.
As we go through the next 4 years and people realize that the horrible things predicted are not happening, that fascism isn't taking over, that swastikas don't hang from the White House, and the abortion hasn't been completely banned, maybe they'll start to question the narrative they were fed and start to question things going forward.
