The pageantry known as the American Presidential election has just concluded its latest iteration and the winner is Donald J. Trump, who defeated Kamala Harris the incumbent Vice President. This outcome has caused quite a stir despite its predictability, and the reactions range from humourous to deranged.
As someone who resides outside of the United States of America, my life will be indirectly affected by the chaos caused by the next President of that country. However, I do have some thoughts on what happened, and why, starting with this:
Kamala Harris was the worst possible candidate to compete against Donald Trump
In fact, I think the party is equally responsible for both the times that Trump has won with these Presidential candidates. Combined with a less-than-charismatic campaign, Kamala was doomed to fail. Most of the swing states voting for the orange-hued lunatic is proof of that, in my eyes.
Now that you American have fucked it up and he’s back in office, let’s stop making the most obvious mistake:
Stop antagonising Trump and his supporters
Trump’s own petty and vindictive nature is irrefutable, and he will do dumb shit to try and get back at anyone he can. He also has a lot of followers who are the same, but not every Trump voter is on board with all of his insanity. That’s why the January 6 incident was not as awful as it could have been. If all his supporters were as nuts, it would have already caused a full-blown civil war. If the opposition keeps stoking the flames of him being a “bad boy”, the more his appeal will grow and more Republican folks will support and defend his poor decisions.
But if the opposition and mainstream media backs off a little, gives him the same amount of critique they would any other President like Biden or Obama and no more, his fuck-ups are all the more apparent to his supporters. Democrats need him to fail from the inside, not by trying to break him and his people from the outside.
This brings me to my final key statement on the matter:
Hold down the fort
Perhaps the best I can phrase it is this – uphold the right to offend just as much as you flex your right to take offence. This alone will make a big difference.
America and much of the world are in for a difficult four years, but that does not mean there is nothing to do besides complain about it. You people have overcome a lot of fucked up shit in your history to become the No.1 nation in the world, you can overcome having a democratically elected blonde nutcase. Godspeed.
