Andrea Widburg examines the election results, compares economic data from the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations, and considers whether Americans\u2019 negative perceptions of the economy reflect reality or relentless media messaging. She also explores Republican voters\u2019 frustrations with Congress and Trump, the war with Iran, J.D. Vance\u2019s increasingly troubling political positions, and Trump\u2019s own mistakes. Finally, drawing inspiration from George Washington\u2019s extraordinary resilience in the face of repeated military defeats, she argues that conservatives must learn from their failures, reject despair, and get back into the fight.
