Seth Meyers and Brian Williams have once again showcased their unique ability to distract from reality, this time by offering their convoluted reasons for President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. The comedic duo, regulars in the leftist echo chamber, provided their analysis on “Late Night,” apparently oblivious to how out of touch their arguments sounded to anyone with a semblance of common sense.
Their crystal ball read “nihilism,” a term casually tossed around in a feeble attempt to summarize why mainstream Americans rejected the Democrat Party’s agenda. In a world where traditional values hold less weight for many on the left, it’s ironic that they pinpoint nihilism as a reason for Trump’s success. Perhaps they have confused the principles of the radical left—denying objective truth and moral absolutes—with the frustrations expressed by the working class who increasingly feel abandoned by Democrats.
Williams pondered, rather vaguely, that the Democrat Party had transformed into “the fancy party,” which raises a curious point without any substantial backing. Meyers followed this up with an equally baffling remark about the Democrats still holding sway over a segment of the non-white working class. The truth is, blue-collar workers are no longer aligning themselves with a party that offers hollow promises. The 2024 election saw unionists and workers in key demographics flock toward Trump as they recognized the futility of the Democrats’ elite approach.
The discussion veered into the realm of Biden’s supposed commitment to unions, a talking point repeated so often it’s become laughable. How can one tout this when real-world results show gas prices sky-high and grocery bills climbing? Mikey’s empirical understanding would suggest those who truly supported unions would be just as angry at the Democrats for contributing to a poorer economy as they are with Republicans.

Meyers went for low-hanging fruit by ridiculing Trump’s and Elon Musk’s support for union workers, completely ignoring the reality of record blue-collar votes for Trump, especially in states like Pennsylvania. Instead of conceding to voters’ obvious rejection of leftist principles, the left pushes ludicrous narratives like “nihilism” to explain their failures. Williams, cloaked in faux intellectualism, took it a step further by stating there’s a “nihilism afoot” since Trump’s first term. Ironically, it seems that the nihilism he is referring to is as pervasive within the Democrat elites as it is within their failed policies.
Meyers eagerly hopped onto the nihilism bandwagon, suggesting that conveying their message amid this perceived hopelessness would be a Herculean task for the Democrats. The reality is that the Democrats are mired in a clear communication failure, not because of nihilism, but because their ideals do not resonate with the average working American. If the Democrats were truly honest about their goals, their chances of winning would plummet, as evidenced by the 2024 electoral results. Thus, while the left may indulge in comedic self-deprecation, they are only revealing their inability to grasp the discontent brewing among everyday voters.
