The establishments of both parties did not know, a year ago, that they were hollow trees. They thought themselves strong because they always had been, and people think what has been true will continue. Then suddenly the tree is pushed and falls. To me that is the symbol, the image of 2016: the hollowed trees and how easily they fell.<\/p>\n<p>Election night 2016 was not like 1980. That year produced an outcome fully within the political norms: a former two-term governor won the presidency. This year\u2019s outcome went beyond all previous norms. Twenty-sixteen was like nothing in our lifetimes. In the future people will say, \u201cWhere were you that election night?\u201d the way they do for other epochal moments.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the mainstream, legacy media continues its self-disgrace. Having failed to kill Donald Trump\u2019s candidacy they will now aim at his transition. Soon they will try to kill his presidency. Any journalists who are judicious toward Trump, who treat him fairly or even as a human being, are now accused of \u201cnormalizing\u201d him. This is a manipulation: It is a way of warning your colleagues to approach the president-elect with the proper hostility or be scorned. None of this will do our country any good&#8230;..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/what-to-tell-your-children-about-trump-1479427835\">What to Tell Your Children About Trump &#8211; WSJ<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great metaphor from Peggy Noonan: You don\u2019t know a tree is hollow until you push hard against it and it falls.
