It’s not the first time it’s happened, but it hurts. The poor vote for the rich in America. Simple messages and lies trump proven facts and complex messages. And social networks, without reliable verification of their information, make people believe in nothing and do not know right from wrong. Rampant inequality, the loss of influence of uneducated whites in the face of the emerging identity of blacks, Latinos, women, homosexuals, etc., the growing machismo and racism against Harris, a black, female candidate, and the impact of inflation among those Hillary Clinton (how awful!) called “deplorables” complete the job in favor of a crook like Trump. The convicted beats the prosecutor. The near absolute power of this new leader prevails with hardly any counter powers. Democracy in danger. It scares me.
