Trigger warning - rant coming! While I love how evocative this style of imagery is, I'm bothered by how it's interpreted by some. I actually like this red, white, and blue theme much better than the red wave theme. This theme evokes (in me) the idea that America is metaphorically rolling across the seas, reasserting itself as the avatar of global leadership through moral strength, resolve, freedom from oppression, our Founder's vision. The red wave implies a conservative or Republican tsunami, which this past election was not. Trump won the popular vote by a 2.1% margin of the electorate (75,521,297 vs 72,375,536). The total vote count of 147,896,833 is only 55% of our 330M population. This could be called a conservative or Republican mandate, but it's definitely not a national mandate. We know the leftists, corporatists, and globalists that have taken over the commanding heights and levers of power of our social institutions (academia, media, the GOP and DNC, the Deep State, etc) aren't going to give up without a fight. We'll be lucky to rollback the current state of government to the 80s, much less the 50s or the pre-Progressive, pre-Woodrow Wilson era of the 1900s. The current state of affairs is well over a century in the making; this is going to require the resolve of generations to unwind. The terms red wave and mandate are wishful thinking, at best. It's time for serious thinking and language that reflects realistic expectations. Rant over. Have a GREAT day! 🙂
