Trump won because americans are so incredibly stupid as a nation they think a felon who attempted coup to stay in power is better than a traditionally bad candidate.
I’m not really sure any of this even matters. The dems probably lost for something as stupid as inflation being attributed to the current administration. I bet if that doesn’t come down or gets worse congress is gonna flip right back in two years. Everyone here has the damn memory of a goldfish.
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.

It’s very likely that it won’t come down unless we have another pandemic situation, and even then only on certain commodities like gasoline that people will be using less of.
Considering how tariff-happy trump is, it’s quite likely that prices will rise. Provided Republicans’ attempts to fuck with the electoral process prove ineffective, it’s entirely possible that Republicans will get rejected in '26.
It’s horrifying that our hopes of anything getting better ride on Republicans being unwilling or unable to fuck things up in one arena while simultaneously seeing resounding success in fucking up another.
As a food analogy harris is a soggy burger thats sat in the fridge for 2 days and wasn’t good to begin with. Instead of eating the burger every single person in america who did not vote for harris went outside and ate a pile of glass shards.

People stayed home because Harris was a shit candidate. Like everyone on the left warned centrists they would. But since centrists would rather eat that pile of glass shards than ever listen to anyone to their left about anything, trump won.

Democrats thought they could get away with running a traditionally bad candidate.
