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.

    Surprise… genocide is going to continue even faster and more so now that trump is in power. All the voters who sat out because of gaza are fucking idiots and will now get to see gaza completely destroyed and helped by the US even more with trump…and they get to watch Ukrainians die as well…and probably Taiwan.

    So good job dipshits.

      See this is where your train of reasoning is stupid and pointless. You’re blaming and shaming millions of individual voters, most of which will never read your comments and the ones who do won’t get a shit what you think 😘

      Instead of trying to alter the individual behavior of all those people, maybe we should just give them what they want to vote for instead. But hey it don’t matter democracy is over.

        When you’re staring at fascist you don’t decide to not pull the trigger when they’ve got a gun pointed at you. Now was not the time to protest vote.
