It was history in the making … right before the world’s eyes.
The Americans … millions of them … waged Revolution 2026, a full 250 years after their last one, in 1776.
Once more, the cries behind the latest US Revolution started with “No More Kings!” and “No Taxation Without Representation!” when hundreds of thousands of irate citizens took to the streets several times over the past year to protest the excesses of their monarch, who often rules by Decree alone.
But no one expected the uprising by millions that took place Nov 3rd!
After all, some of Donald Trump’s policies/actions did have wide public support: closing the southern border to illegals; cracking down/deporting gangsters/criminals; pushing/demanding NATO nations boost their defence contributions; and, the first phase action severely damaging Iran’s nuclear weapons capability.
BUT, millions of Americans rejected the lies, the hate, the insults, the bullying, the intimidation, the self indulgence and the self-enrichment their Mad Hatter leader practiced during his rule over them the past two years.
Millions repudiated the second phase war-that-was-not-a-war launched against Iran and still continuing, without ANY authorization by Congress, despite 23 American dead and 865 casualties and a crippling effect on the global economy.
Millions had mounting difficulty paying their rents, providing groceries/clothes/shoes for their families, buying a home or vehicle, filling their cars with gasoline or machinery with diesel and came to understand how the US President-imposed tariffs were making things worse … not better.
Millions were appalled, meanwhile, by the Regal excesses that saw the White House East Wing torn down to build a new mega-ballroom; the $30 million (US) spent on a Washington military festival/parade on the President’s 79th Birthday; the $16 Million (US) spent (so far) on “repairing” the capital’s Reflecting pool; the planned $100 Million (US) for a 250-foot “Triumphal Arch that would obstruct the view to/from America’s beloved Arlington Military Cemetery.
Millions were also fed up with Trump’s penchant for having his name or face plastered on buildings and monuments, an airport, streets, bridges, coins, a watch, currency, the US passport, the John F Kennedy Center, even a Bible.
Millions were turned off by their President’s repeated courting/affection for Russian President Vladimir Putin, China’s Xi Jinping, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un ..while watching Trump repeatedly holding back assistance/sales of defense equipment to Ukraine and denigrating President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Millions were shocked and dismayed to see Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers not only rounding up but repeatedly assaulting, shooting, killing not just illegals, but US citizens too, deporting wholesale numbers of immigrants/asylum seekers … some of whom were actually in the US legally or others who had been living there, working, raising US-born families/kids, paying taxes for decades, even serving in the US military.
And millions were embarrassed by Trump’s demeaning references, insults, tariffs specifically aimed at America’s once-closest ally, largest market for US goods … Canada.
The result: not only a wounded Canadian economy, but a damaged US economy as well … especially (but not only) in northern US states reliant on Canadian tourists/shoppers and exports to Canada of goods, machinery, foods, services.
The boycott by Canadians had an impact: the power of one multiplied by millions. (Read this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2026/10/13/canadian-travel-boycott-of-us-continues-trump-slump/)
The American people were so revolted by ALL of this, they revolted!
The Nov 3 mid-terms were MUCH more than an election: this was a full scale Revolution … aimed at stopping Trump’s growing dictatorship … and the results were greater than even George Washington and Thomas Jefferson would have ever imagined.
Not only did solid red states, like South Carolina, Kansas, Iowa (maybe even Mississippi) and Texas vote blue .. but there were several almost inbcredible changes:
Texas state-wide positions all went Democrat, except for one remaining incumbent Republican Senator Ted Cruze; Georgia became the first US state to elect a black woman as Governor; Michigan elected America’s first Muslim Senator; New Hampshire elected the first openly gay male Senator; 259 Democrats are now projected to control the House, compared to 176 Republicans; while Democrats will hold 54 Senate seats, compared to 44 for the Republicans.
This was more than an election: it was the American Revolution of 2026.
One US podcaster commentator Coleman Hughes put it best: “we are living through a historic moment. Historians are going to write about this as a major tectonic shift in the geo-political structure of our two-party system.”
And it was clearly personal: a major humiliation for the Mad Hatter still inhabiting the White House.
