O/T:- Betting odds for US Election [The USA Politics Thread]

Two glaring absences from the theories listed above are arguably the most obvious and logical ones: that it was the economy, and a rejection of the progressive obsession with identity politics and 'Woke' culture. Again, these explanations won't fit every voter, but I've certainly heard numerous Trump voters being interviewed and giving these reasons repeatedly.

I'm exaggerating to make the point, but for people who are able to see beyond individual leaders fronting two opposing parties, it would make more sense to vote for somebody with Jimmy Savile vibes who objectively would make life harder for the average nonce in the street than to vote for an Esther Rantzen type figure who has actually made life a whole lot easier for perverts to act with impunity so long as they joyfully express some magic words and wave the magic flag.

As for racism. Encouraging people to perceive criminal behaviour and homicides in black communities as a feature (to be tolerated) and not a defect (to be tackled as you would with any other race) is actual racism in action.

Threatening to freeze people's bank accounts and the loss of their jobs for not wanting to take an experimental gene therapy they don't need is actual fascism.

Freeing domestic abusers and violent criminals from prison to make room for people who write hurty words on X and facebook does not make women and children feel safe.

This was also used to great effectiveness by Justin Trudeau in Ottawa during his Covid mandate battle with Canadians. I tell you, the modern left has gone THAT far left, they have become Fascists.
