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 mean I am also interested to see how many votes the fucking Cheneys brought in…that was supposed to be bargain they were making by tacking very hard to the right. If the dems lost on enthusiasm its because they were decidedly not running an enthusiasm campaign.

      None, I’m afraid. 5% of Republicans voted for Biden in 2020. 5% voted for Harris in 2024. A centrist waste

      I don’t know about that. I and most all the others I know were pretty goddamn enthusiastic about Kamala.
