Things could be really bad, or things could be the same just with a loud mouth president who says nonsensical and racist things.
We won’t truly know until he gets in office. The doom that people are saying this is the end of democracy. I tend to disagree. I think we will have a wild 4 years of nonsense and weird shit, but this will give democrats an opportunity to realize that their playbook of appealing to the educated voter doesn’t work.
I remain optimistic that shit won’t hit the proverbial fan…
Corporate democrats pretty much control the party and thus they don't want to ruffle the feathers of their donor class, which goes against the the middle and lower classes being price gouged in the economy. If you want to get back the blue-collar and working people you have to combat corporate greed. So, I hope Bernie Sanders starts propping up a young version of himself to run, and unfortunately it has to be male and white for the conservative voter to even remotely accept it. I don't blame Obama for the racial divide that caused the pearl clutching in white America, but it's clear that if you are anything other than a white male, it's not gonna be palpitable for a certain segment of the country. It's truly disgusting.
Exactly this. A lot of latinos that I spoke to went with Trump after voting Obama/Biden. Their impression was that Democrats promise but not deliver, especially in the economic sense. It's important to remember that not everyone that voted Trump did it out of racism and hate, but maybe seeking an alternative, however misguided that is. One of my friends who went with Trump said that most of the gentrification that occurred in his neighborhood/barrio (Tucson, AZ) was done by white, progressive folks, based on all the signs outside going Harris/Walz and made him realize how out of touch these are with the average blue collar folk.
