Donald Trump's triumph is due to the American establishment of democrats and their favorable media and experts. With a massive run about the coming end of democracy if Trump wins, they've done everything they can to give this triumph to him on a platter.
First they held on to the hope that the infirm 81-year-old Joe Biden would be able to gather thoughts and lead the campaign, then they felt that Kamala Harris would do so – a candidate known primarily for her deficiency of her own political achievements and left-wing slogans, which became vice president due to the fact that she had qualities – gender, skin colour – which well complemented Joe Biden's weaknesses, ensured popularity in the politician act, but did not represent assets in the fight for voters in the crucial states for winning.
If democracy is threatened, shouldn't everything, including risking their own interests, be done to halt Trump? This thought arose in the head very few, the consensus was rapidly achieved by hammering the disobedient to the line. alternatively of announcing the primary – and choosing a candidate who would have a real chance with Trump – a evidence unpopular candidate – everything was done to first keep Biden in the game at least six months besides long, and then to choice the 1 individual who could not beat Trump.
Harris had even had a decent campaign, went better in the debate, and it's hard to blame her for wanting to become a presidential candidate. But in this fight, it was not to prove that the American electorate was ready for a colored female in the White home or to carry out the agenda of the left wing of the Democrats, but to halt Trump – that is to say, to choose a individual who, in the states of decisive victory, could convince undecided voters in the belt of rust and respective states of the south.
Could it have been associated with Harris' left-wing slogans? Even with Trump convicted of crimes? She couldn't. And that shouldn't be any surprise. In the elections in which migration and economics decided – and Trump in both areas had an advantage of assurance among the electorate – the Democrats lacked credibility. Which is simply a paradox due to the fact that the American economy is experiencing a period of advanced growth. A candidate who was incapable to critically address her party's achievements could not find a language of hope. And in fear, as always, Trump was better.
Eight conclusions of Trump's victory
1. It is not adequate to have (in your eyes) right. We gotta go to those who do not share the values that seem apparent to us. These voters usage another criteria derived from deep moral convictions- and alternatively of trying to influence them they must be respected and treated as real – or lost.
2. The suppression of criticism, false unity, driving to the corner of the other-thinking is simply a fatal trait of both camps—the right-wing and left-wing—but it was the left-wing that failed due to the fact that the main thought of the establishment was false. As previously united around a prominently unpopular Hillary Clinton, so now voters were forced to support Joe Biden, incapable to fight for the presidency and then Kamala Harris, who lacked achievements, personality and image to win it.
3. Skin colour and sex do not win choices. Obama's apparent weakness was able to force and the top triumph (landslide) over his opponent in years. Harris did not build tales to match Obama or Kennedy (the first president of the United States – a Catholic) and make her identity prove to be an electoral asset alternatively than a burden in the eyes of conventional voters of hesitant states.
4. The key is to specify who a “normal voter” is – what is average and what is simply a deviation from the norm. In this clash, which is unfortunate, the extremist right-wing nationalist won. In the slogan “Kamala is for Them/They, Trump is for You” lies the full mystery of Trump's victory. The key is to specify an opponent as 1 who offers a abroad society a prescription that tries to impose something against his will.
5. It is possible to radically redesign the political scene. Trump did it, and it is his undoubted credit, with all the repulsive qualities of president Elect. He took over the Republican organization and made it the epitome of the ideology of white nationalism, attracting adequate voters (including Latinos and even blacks) dissatisfied with the Democratic bid and the direction in which the country is heading.
6. Medial strength of mainstream is adequate to suppress criticism in your own camp and push through the incorrect and unpopular solutions, but not adequate to make an election victory. besides many independent forces be so that the media and communication advantage is adequate to control the planet beyond its – even very large – bubble.
7. Democrats and their allies first turned out to be besides weak against strength and power – erstwhile they could not force alternatives to Biden. And then besides correct and yielded to blackmailing left-wing values that did not let them to critically and reasonably face the rapidly accepted candidacy of Harris.
8. Only populists offer a viable alternate to the consensus adopted in the eyes of a large part of voters, so they win among voters who do not share extremist views at all, but inactive do not want to support what was and what does not want to change. Tyranna position quo works as long as it works. erstwhile it stops, the position quo loses out on a extremist offer.
Therefore, the challenge for all average forces is to build an alternate to the position quo that can no longer win. And do it in time, not erstwhile it's besides late.
