What’s the most surprising thing to me is how he managed to win despite mainly running on personal grievance and fear mongering about trans-people and fake Haitian immigrant stories. It was truly a horrible campaign.
What does that tell us?
Probably that Biden is the main culprit here. His refusal to step aside early on, while being successfully portrayed as the main culprit for inflation and being accurately described as a senile old man, was more than enough to make it impossible for Kamala to win.
It also shows us that Americans are more than willing to forgive criminals as long as they’re charismatic enough. After all, America used to be a penal colony, it’s ingrained in our culture.
