Yes, but how?
At the end of the day, the phrase "it's the economy, stupid" which worked (together with a bit of racism). No doubt Trump will see the benefit of work done over the last 4 years (after the Covid nightmare he created), but he simply cannot deliver on his promises of lower taxes for all or cheaper food and fuel. Of course, he does not care. He said what people wanted to hear. Should Harris have promised the same?
Trump has more personality than Harris, but he is spectacularly incompetent, relying on others around him. If the voters are willing to accept his lies and take his promises at face value, then democracy has spoken.
Musk has already said that the US needs to rip $2 trillion from spending. Not sure how that is going to be achievable, especially with 15% company tax and no tax on overtime, etc, but it will impact a huge number of those who voted for Trump.
In another 4 years, he will be gone, if not sooner. He does have a complete carte blanche in the meantime, so we have to worry about just how much he will fuck up, but hopefully, he will shuffle off. John Oliver was pointing out the other night that he is getting into crypto currencies now and has promised to get rid of the SEC Chairman who wants to regulate the sector. The rules about Presidents not benefitting from the Office will not apply to him.
He may also marry Ivanka and pardon himself afterwards, because it would be "Presidential" to have a new First Lady. Melania is probably happy with that option, because she probably sees she is stuck with him of another 4 years.
That leaves Vance, and who knows what he will do, but he is more likely to be used as someone else's puppet, who will be more concerned with their pockets than blowing up the world.
Can I offer an alternative? No, but I don't believe that America is willing to accept left-leaning policies (aka communistic), so it really is left to dealing with the shit sandwich in front of you, but you still need to be honest.
Hopefully, MF's wish for AOC will happen, but she is already regarded as further left than Lenin by many.
Rant over. Glad I live in Hobbiton, now. Hopefully, we aren't targetted with nuclear warheads, on the basis that we are too far away for anyone to bother about us.
Burn is only one yellow card from suspension so Kelly may get his chance.
