Summary
Democrats are grappling with Donald Trump’s decisive victory, which included popular vote support and wins in traditionally Democratic regions.
Analysts suggest that Trump’s appeal lies less in specific policies and more in his embodiment of resentment and populist anger.
While some blame Harris’s choice of running mate, media influence, or Biden’s timing in stepping aside, many argue that Trump’s support reflects a desire for his “tough-guy” rhetoric and promises of “social revenge.”
Despite the potential consequences, Trump’s supporters expect him to hurt others without affecting them.
Trump’s second term will likely bring about the destruction of the rule of law and the expansion of his power, leaving voters to confront the reality of his actions.
I’m looking forward to the young Latino men, Gen Z, and women, especially white women,getting what they voted.
Thing is, the qons built a parallel media structure for a reason. As Chomsky said, many of these people have a RIGHT to be angry. It’s just that they are angry for the wrong reasons, and angry at the wrong policies and people responsible for those policies.
That parallel media structure’s entire purpose is to ensure that the “angry white males” (or whatever demo) is angry for the “right” reasons, and never get any ideas about who is to really be blamed for their misery. So they’ll be shown caravans of immigrants headed for the border, scary black on white crime exaggerated out of proportion, told eggs now cost 4x as much because of what the trans did, and so on…
Especially Latinos (+30 R vs 2020?!). Lots of “But I’m not an illegal immigrant!” when the ICE raids start up. “Sorry, your name’s on the list.” Off to the camps they go. Big whoops.
