| Trump by Leonardo.ai & TET |
As an outsider looking in on the US 2024 election, right up until election day, it is beyond my belief that the election continued to be a 'close race'. It is even further beyond my belief that Trump won, without question.
Even if the Democrats wanted to claim the election was rigged somehow (which I'm sure Trump was gearing up to do had the outcome been different) it would be hard to make the case, beyond a recount. There's no slim margin here. Trump clearly won.
While I would've preferred a Blue win, I at least got one outcome I was hoping for. A clear winner on election day.
If I could give the Democrats some free, unsolicited advice for the next election. Stop targeting the opposition as if they're somehow selfish, evil villains. That's not how political parties work. At the end of the day the all represent the public. The people. The everyday citizen who you're trying to convince that you have what it takes to meet their needs. Elections are basically job interviews.
Don't tell them they've put their faith in the wrong people. Tell them you can look after them even better. I mean, that's what Trump does. It's the art of the deal, right? He constantly says his people are the best, probably the best ever. His policies are the best, so good he achieved things they said couldn't be done (and that's actually true).
You may not think he has the best people or policies but that's all subjective, and you're wasting time trying to dispute it.
Whatever the Democrats have to learn from this election, the lesson is only half done. Republican voters have the next four years to learn if they really made the right call.
From what I can tell, many Trump supporters weren't aware they were voting for things they don't actually want, getting caught up in just the things they understand about Make America Great Again.
Alternatively, they absolutely knew what their party is about and either completely want that, or would rather, at the very least, have a Republican as President before having a Democrat in the office.
Regardless, my hope is, Trump will have no trouble implementing everything he wants to do. Which seems very likely with his decisive win giving him control of both Legislative and the Senate Houses, as well as the Judiciary.
This will either be a great thing for America - as he and his supporters said it would be - or it will really open the eyes of the American public to pay more attention to what they're voting for.
I'm quietly optimistic that Trump learned a lot during his first term as President, and actually has a better understanding of how government actually works.
Most of all, I want him to make good on his vow (I don't actually know if he promised) to be a dictator on day one of his Presidency. Specifically to close the border and to drill for oil. I guess he just wants to avoid all the paperwork and get right to it?
But who knows what Trump actually will do since his senior staffers started saying you can't always take what he says literally. Particularly the things he says that do just a little bit more than cause a few eyebrow raises.
Either way, Trump now has the power to change everything in the USA if he wants. I really hope he does, regardless if it's for the better or otherwise.
