Having distancing myself from emotions and frustration, I tried to understand why a convicted felon and a populist spitting out anger and hatred won the presidency? Why he was heard, while Kamala Harris spoke into the void?
What became the main thing in this election? In my opinion, it's the wallet and the illegals.
Despite the fact that economists assure us that the economy is strong, when you look into your wallet, you see completely opposite. Prices almost on everything have risen, but salaries have remained the same.
In 90s there was a popular TV show The Simpsons. The story in this show was simple, the family worked hard and could afford to buy a house and support themselves. Today, the younger generation doesn't know what awaits them in the future, will they be able to live like the Simpsons. What jobs they will have when artificial intelligence will become an integral part of our lives? I could continue, but I'll finish here.
In my opinion, democrats simply underestimated how much our country has changed and how polarized and angry it is and that general promises will not convince people that life will change for the better.
The era of Barack Obama is over, and during one night we've jumped headlong into another era. Time and life will show what this new era will be like.
Generally, life is good.
