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 wonder what people think of Musk’s investment in Twitter now? He lost a ton of money, but it’s pocket change to him, and now he will get a prime government job which he will use to his advantage to get more government contracts.
He literally bought his way into power, without needing to run for office himself.
