What next, ‘Merica?
Greetings from Atlanta,
It's a brave new world and nobody knows exactly how America's choice on November 5 is going play out. Trump's first term is going to look very different to his second term. He has a massive mandate to lead and without the guardrails that were there the first time around. We are already seeing a focused, directed and clear strategy being implemented. He's going to hit the ground running (nothing like his first term.)
How did it get to this?
Well, simple. Democrats lost, and they lost badly. Significantly, just about every part of the USA moved right in the last four years.
What was it about the Biden/Harris adminstration that created the situation where every section of society and every corner of this country decided that Donald Trump was a better answer? The electoral map is red, red, red.
It's too simple to write off this vote as a giant nod to racism or sexism. Neither is it right to say that Trump will be President again because more than half of the country has been brainwashed by rightwing media. That's too simple. And it's unfair to the good Americans I know who voted for Trump, or chose to not vote for Harris because they didn't trust her with the country. Mostly, I think it was a vote against wokeness, unfettered immigration and day-to-day inflation (the economy is actually doing just fine.)
Let me know what you think?
