As the final polls start to roll in from Tuesday night, Americans are now looking at the significance of the historic Trump win.

This historic race for that historic house has come to a historic end, and although we have heard the word history thrown around so much this year, what does that mean?

For modern Americans, the words unprecedented, historical and first are losing meaning.

But “this is the first time we’ve ever elected a convicted felon, said OU’s Professor Melody Rowlett.

This is the first chapter of history that casts Donald Trump as the second American president to serve two non-consecutive terms, but the first to do with a mugshot.

While some voters are shocked, analysts see it as a poll prophecy come to pass.

“I had a professor twenty years ago – thirty years ago that said the next revolution is going to be the non-college educated,” said Rowlett.

The diploma divide may be the key term for this chapter with voters without a college degree turning the page for a Trump sequel.

But what is red state Oklahoma’s role in this.

Rowlett pointed in part to Christian Nationalism.

“Christian Nationalism is very popular in Oklahoma, and so Christian Nationalism has gotten more strength and gotten more breath from this,” she said.

“Between a prosecutor and a felon, we made our choice? Yeah, we made our choice,” she added.
