I am baffled. While the votes are still being counted, and most of the swing states are only being split by less than 100,000 votes, it looks like the USA has voted for a narcissistic sociopath. Again.
America seems to be very very broken, with a massive and growing divide between those in cities and associated suburbia, and those in more rural locations.
I am struggling to understand how anyone can listen and watch what that man says and does and think, yes, that’s a great leader right there. Even more baffling is that a lot of younger voters have turned to him as well.
It points to many issues, a failing (critical) education system, communities divided by class, race, ability, and gender, and the Republican party has managed to rally many people around… well, I’ve no idea what because I’m not sure what that party stands for anymore.
America have elected a fascist.
