I think it matters because this election was one more nail in the neo-liberal coffin. I don’t think the reactionary response is very good though. Instead of saying hey those rich ass rent seekers are taking too much of our economic pie the electorate picked the guy scapegoating immigrants. Historically this is probably a bad path. Personally I’m not a fan of the right wing authoritarians, and sadly the competition is going to be them fucking up not anyone challenging them outright.

Which could just be a natural outcome of our political system. Because, I am not sure that a representative democracy that allows rampant unchecked capitalism to buy our government, will ever be the check on power we need.
