A political realignment is described as a revolution reshaping the country, driven by attacks on institutions of independent thinking and advantaging those who discard traditional political rules. The Democratic Party is urged to recognize the shift and to recalibrate toward cultural normalcy, reform orientation, service, and patriotism while reconciling internal differences.

Many elements of those policies face rollback or are being presented as accomplishments of the current administration.
