Quotes for our Times:

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: Are we shocked this dem is salivating over impeaching Trump again?

'If he abuses his office, we will vigorously push back, fight back, stand up to him as we had to do during his first term in office,” [Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA)] said.

To Democrats, abusing his office is merely standing in it. But this isn’t like the first Trump presidency. Trump has a mandate: he won the popular vote and the Electoral College. The Left has done everything and anything to stop this man— all actions have failed. The lawfare blew up in their faces, reaching a point where liberals were fuming at Attorney General Merrick Garland. The country is exhausted of anti-Trump hysterics.

Byron York, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner: Where did all the fascism talk go?

The damage the fascist moment did to our political discourse is hard to measure at this point. Maybe it will become clearer later. But we know that many in media, government and academic circles hurt their own reputations by losing their heads over Trump.

They also demonstrated the limits of their own influence. On Monday, radio host Hugh Hewitt asked Trump about the effect the election has had on the most dedicated anti-Trump voices in the media. 'I think they're disrespected,' Trump answered. 'I think they're not taken so seriously. … They were totally opposed to me. … They were opposed to me at levels never seen before … and I won.'

Derek Hunter, Washington, DC, based writer, radio host and political strategist: Democrats learned nothing from the election.

With the exception of who the President is going to be on the 20th and who controls the Senate, nothing has changed in their world. They still insist they are popular – a majority, in fact – in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. It’s simultaneously hilarious and horrifying.

It’s hilarious because watching adults try to convince themselves that they’re popular is very amusing. It’s horrifying because the denialism is dangerous. Not for Republicans, for the country.

David Marcus, columnist and author: Trudeau exits the stage. Canadian Truckers 1, Prime Minister 0.

What will replace the last three decades of progressive rule in the West is not yet entirely clear, perhaps not even wholly imagined, but the failing policies of globalism, open borders, multiculturalism, as well as national self-disdain, are being rejected.

For now, the people of Canada have sent their message to Trudeau loud and clear, up there they put it, 'Take off, eh. Ya hoser,' here stateside we’d say, 'Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out.'
