Key Points
- The Democratic Party needs to retool and get back to first principles, as their reliance on identity politics and judgmental labels has led to a significant loss of support.
- Despite significant financial and media advantages, Trump's campaign effectively leveraged alternative media and a focused message to secure a sweeping victory.
- A push for radical transparency and the declassification of government documents is essential to restore public trust and ensure accountability in the federal bureaucracy.
