No matter the self dealing that is introduced in the next 4 years, America be fine. Just look at how well South Africa is doing after the kleptocracy of Jacob Zum
To be fair, there's a lot of catastrophising about a 2nd Trump term.
And he has the opportunity (even mandate) actually implement all the horrid things his Mates want.
Whether that actually happens is yet to be seen.
But he has a track record of walking back his extreme policies/promises just to keep as much support as possible.
Too much division in the U.S. for them to be great again. Can't see Trump uniting America any time soon. Lucky for some, unlucky for more.
Hate to agree with mycrappyname, but America is way too divided now for it get better one way or the other. No matter who points it which way, the opposing sides gonna hate.
There's been way too much emphasis placed on which way an individual swings politically. Everyone is either "far right" or "far left" and all that is needed for that analysis to be made in the court of public opinion is for them to say something political, or even analytical of one side or the other.
I've seen articles lately that say Francis ****uyama saw it all coming in the essay and book "The End Of History" in 1992. So I'm reading it now.
In describing the shallow celebrity culture, the essential emptiness, of the habitat of the last man, ****uyama had a particular example in mind. He went to the same individual for illustration when looking for an archetype of megalothymia - who else but 'a developer like Donald Trump'. ****uyama didn't predict that it would be that very individual who would crash through the comforts of the end of History, turning the certainties of the post-Historical world upside down. But he got closer than most.
You guys not a word about Albos and Duttons supported misinformation bill and worried about the US...
Better have another covid shot in the meantime.
So which policies are you nervous about?
I reckon the American elections are based around personally and less about policy.
The world isn't going to end (again).
Happy Monday sour baby snowflakes.
Better finish your sex transition asap before it becomes illegal here too when we get rid of Albo.
FN...you posts are too long sorry.
Must be alot of politicans, journalists, economic experts and celebrities around the world, incluiding Jim Chalmers and Albo here, who are secretly extremly glad Trump won.
Now they have somebody to blame for cost of living, inflation, economic woes and all their own failings.
Seems kinda ironic that the media and experts all got the election results very, very wrong, yet now they all know exactly what a Trump presidency will bring.....
