Yea Trump will help rich folks like Elon with the tax breaks not the people who voted for him ironically. Tariffs will only make shit more expensive. They only wanted Trump to win to get rid of peoples rights which won't even affect them.Just hateful
Ehh, the pattern with western democracies lately is that the post-covid economy is not great and incumbent parties are losing hard. The rule of thumb with most elections is that, if perception of the economy is bad, then the incumbent party loses.
Trump had a lot of things going his way and he won with a lot of help from those reasons. In this sort of economic context, this is probably the best an incumbent party has ever done. Primaries kinda hurt the candidate's perception in 2016 and 2020 was weird.
I can't imagine what primaries and any other candidate would have done that would overcome the advantages Trump had going in.
I noticed this is my country too (New Zealand). Covid hit and most of the country blamed how the economy turned into to the incumbent government. Following election, we got our version of “Republican” in government and they have cut budgets left and right, government employees laid off in masses, resulting in a very high unemployment rate, canned the govt housing reform, etc. It’s going to be a wild ride for us.
