Compelling.
Opening sentence says it all:
Donald Trump is returning to the White House, and while this will not change what most critics think of him, it should compel them to take a close look in the mirror.

This signals a U turn by NYT. They are trying to justify Trump’s election now. They have to do it.

Don't bet on it. They pretended being introspective in 2016, too. They will go back to their hyperventilating ways as soon as a 3-letter agency stooge feeds them any uncorroborated anti-Trump story.

I've been thinking about possible abrupt position changes in MSM....
I'm 80% convinced that most of extreme pro-establishment coverage we've seen across entire MSM is due to govt meddling/pressure/money. (I mean just look at how extreme the Twitter files were).
I think NY Times realizes that if/when Trump takes command and installs his new cabinet and staff, the gravy train of "free gov money" is coming to an end, thus they need to have an actual subscriber base to survive. Thus, the sudden shift to center......

Suddenly, just today, Morning Joe discovered that inflation is bad. He's outraged.

A friend of mine summarized the win this way.
- This was a vote against politicians
- People didn't bite on the "no the economy is just fine" bit
- People hate the media

Blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims all broke for Trump. I think he even won the majority of Hispanic Males.
So I think it's also a reaction against the extreme woke-ism, in addition to all that you mentioned above.

A lot of people actually like him.
If you think him being in office will really change anything....you are delusional.

Well, Zelensky is already signaling that there may be a peaceful solution afterall.....the end of wars in Ukraine and MidEast would be a great legacy if thats all thats achieved....
Trump for nearly all of his life was a NY Democrat. His policies are representative of that....if you typed out all his policies and presented them to a 1989 Dem voter, they would think it was entirely reasonable.
It often "does my head in" that I wind up supporting Trump, even though I don't generally like 1989 Democratic Policies....however the alternatives are so much worse that this is where I find myself....

I have told so many people this that have TDS. It just rolls of of them. Likability is a huge factor when it comes to people voting. It is really really dumb.

Its honestly pretty disturbing to me how they have redefined reality to this degree. Having borders, deporting illegals, and engaging protectionism were entirely normal policies from 1776 to 2010

For those wondering. Roughly 1/3 of people don't vote. Roughly 2/3 voted and a majority voted (we are told) for the great pumkin.

Jesus everybody today has "an" answer for why "all Trump voters" voted for him. Most people are not trying to overthrow the institutions. Each person is unique and has their own issues they care about. Stereotyping Trump voters is the MO of the left, and probably a large reason they are so unlikeable.
Despite there being myriad reasons to vote for Trump, the main reason is probably the old boring one: the economy. Jobs and inflation.
