Summary
Despite Trump’s criminal record, serial lying, and racist demagoguery, he won the 2024 US presidential election, reflecting America’s deep-seated anxieties and cultural divisions.
Trump’s celebrity persona, economic populism, and culture warrior appeals resonated with his base, while Kamala Harris faced challenges in defining herself and overcoming gender and racial biases.
The election underscores the decay of American democracy, raising concerns about the future of the nation.
I think its half that. The Dems need a reckoning.
But the other half is that they don’t play dirty like Trump. They don’t understand that engagement is all that matters, lying does not, because us Americans have the critical thinking ability of an ant.
If they want to win, they need their own reality distortion field.
The Dems got a reckoning in 2016 when their career politician Hillary Clinton lost to Trump.
Nothing is going to shake them out of their ways.
Democrats suck at politics. Frustrating when their candidates are the only ones that come even close to aligning with my values.
