The massive blue wave of Democratic victories in the Nov. 4 election sent a straightforward message to Trump and his circling-the-drain Republican colleagues: You all are, quite literally, the worst.

So it turns out that President Donald Trump posting a video of himself dumping poop on Americans was not a winning electoral strategy for the Republican Party.

Dispatching roving gangs of masked federal agents to cities across America and giving them carte blanche to grab whomever they want while tossing tear gas at anyone who doesn’t like it? Also not a real vote winner, apparently.

Polling had already shown how much Americans broadly dislike everything the Trump administration is doing. But in the first election of Trump’s second term in office, voters in red, blue and purple states made clear they aren’t buying the smug cruelty and king-like behavior the president and his lackeys are selling.

After promising to lower food prices and inflation on Day 1, food prices are increasing and inflation has risen every month since April and is now higher than it was in January.

Trump has decided he’s free to order the military to bomb boats in South American waters without providing any evidence that the boats are carrying drugs or “narco-terrorists.”

Trump is using the Justice Department to aggressively go after his political enemies.

Helping billionaires and hurting everyone else isn't a winning strategy
The night before SNAP benefits expired, Trump posted a slew of photos showing off his fancy marble remodel of the Lincoln Bathroom, then he attended a "Great Gatsby"-themed Halloween party at his Florida resort.

This election showed that MAGA is not America. Not even close.
None of this is popular. None of this has made any regular American’s life better. None of this has brought down grocery bills, made housing more affordable or provided better health insurance.

Perhaps a president who gleefully shows off a video of himself wearing a crown and flying a jet that drops poop on the heads of protesting Americans is a cool thing inside the MAGA bubble.

But as the Nov. 4 blue wave demonstrated, most Americans don’t find Trump’s childishness cool. They don’t get off on cruelty.
