– The “Nostradamus” of the American elections, Allan Lichtman said he was certain: Kamala will win. It seems that before now he had only made a mistake once. Now there are two of us.
– Republic a few days ago he had interviewed Ian Bremmerwho raised the alarm that Trump was “ready to unleash new unrest this time aided by Musk.” Too bad The Donald won. Hello.
– I have kept the screenshot of the articles of Republic from two days ago. Trump calling for shots on journalists, Trump denouncing the theft of the elections, the undecided “who are relaunching the race for Kamala Harris” because “enthusiasm returns”. We’ve seen it: no state in the balance, landslide Republican victory. And now let’s wait for the analyzes the next day from those who had told us the day before the exact opposite of what would happen.
– The truth is that USA I’m not California, I’m not New YorkColumbia University and everything that normally finds space in US and international newspapers. America is made up of workers, small entrepreneurs, traders, people who work in factories and who extract gas or oil. Gentlemen more interested in knowing if they will pay less for energy than in “greeting with a ‘meow’ the colleague who perceives himself as a cat” (copyright Alessandro Bonelli). People who no longer believe in the pacifist announcements of those who in four years have managed to send half the world into chaos (Afghanistan, Ukraine, Russia, the Middle East) without doing anything for peace regarding wars around the world.
– If Saviano if it didn’t exist, you would have to invent it. According to the writer, the fault of the victory of Trump (err, Roby: it’s called democracy) it’s all in social media. “Without rules for social media, no democracy is possible anymore”. “Social media and the web left without rules allowed Trump. The sewer of Twitter (in the meantime it has become X), of Facebook, Instagram and TikTok left without rules, without European competitors”. Apart from the fact that Saviano publishes his intelligent reasoning – maximum hypocrisy – on social media. But then sorry: four years ago, when Biden won the elections, weren’t there still social media? And hasn’t Zuckerberg “confessed” to having censored some positions on Covid on Joe Biden’s orders? So, maybe we can also agree on the “sewer of social media”. But it can’t only be valid when the candidate who pisses you off wins.
– The analysts of the day after, that is Maurice Molinarithey explain to us that Trump won due to his economic positions against the high cost of living, for his promise to block immigration and on the wars that broke out in these years of Biden’s reign. Thanks damn.
– Some insinuate that with Trump’s victory now for Elon Musk the future “will be extraordinary”, especially for its companies. So, my friends: the founder of Tesla and SpaceX sends rockets into space that come back on their own safely. Its technology is so advanced, and necessary in the USA, that it would have done business with both Kamala and The Donald. If Elon has embraced Trump’s battle it is because of his beliefs on “free speech”, which is the same reason why he threw a lot of money at X.
– Ah, but Melania shouldn’t she have asked for a divorce from Trump? Yesterday he was on stage, smiling, at his side. Yet I remember the learned articles about the clothes worn for rebellion, about the fact that she would soon give up everything, run away from the stinker. And instead…
– Be careful because in Germany everything comes down.
– The best part of Trump’s speech? When he makes a huge hustler to his wife Melania’s “beautiful book”. Business is businessAlways.
– Perhaps the most sensational data from these elections concerns the vote of women and that of young people. Because if there was one certainty in this election it was that “women and students” would give the necessary push to Kamala Harris. Nothing to do. According to polls among those under 30, in the end The Donald and the former vice president split the plate while among women the Republican gradually climbed. Hispanics didn’t choose her either. Here too, polls to review.
– The most incredible thing, perhaps, is that this time the Americans have chosen Trump despite knowing him. That is, having seen it in action. And having known the limits, the excesses, the trials, the accusations of harassment, the attack of the good press and everything else. They chose him in an even more conscious manner than in 2016. And above all by giving him a full mandate, both at the level of electors and the popular vote. And this is the symptom of the total disconnect between the real America and its narrators, those newspapers so attentive to the needs of minorities that they do not fully understand the requests of those who build them in the USA every day.
– In the comments we read, almost with contempt, that Americans have chosen tax cuts over “identity politics”, understood as the very woke and decidedly politically correct defense of feminists, blacks, Latinos, LGBTQ. And that voters gave their approval to the “mass deportation” of illegal migrants. Two notes. First: the word “deportation” is the wrong translation of an English word that should be translated as “expulsion”, which is much more banal. Second: also Kamala Harris in his rallies he promised to implement policies to close the borders, exactly like The Donald. But who knows why his announcements don’t pass for fascist.
– Georgie Melonswhatever Salvini says, he was right not to openly side with Trump. However, he remains the leader of a country that must have relations with both parties. Also because I don’t think the prime minister is worried: perhaps she had built a certain relationship with Biden (see the kiss at the White House), but Giorgia can boast a solid relationship with Elon Musk who will become one of Trump’s main advisors.
– To demonstrate that it is facts and not announcements that count, know that in Dearborn, a city with an Arab majority in Michigan, he won Donald Trump. Do you know why? Because when tested by facts, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden “did nothing” on the war in Gaza, according to their point of view. The announcements, the nice words, the “I will do everything to protect the Palestinians” count for little when you were in government and you could have done it. If the vote is not ideological, and goes beyond Trump’s catch phrases, then people understand that in truth Kamala’s promises were empty because they were made from the pulpit of those who should have already got to work. Governing.
– They drew us Kamala Harris as the great turning point of the Democrats and they pumped it beyond belief. It is the demonstration, in the end, that the traditional media now count like the two of cups when trumps and clubs.
– Today is the day of the rosiconi, of those who had hoped for it, of those who had pushed Kamala Harris convinced that the former vice president could really beat Donald Trump because “imagine if the Americans really vote for that stinker again”. It’s a bad day for Maximum Gianniniwho, unable to accuse fascism, throws it into the good old “fear won” without remembering that it is precisely on “fear of Trump” that Kamala Harris’ entire electoral program was based. Black day too Roberto Savianoconvinced that it is all the fault of “social media”, of the “sewer of X”, forgetting that it was Biden who forced Mark Zuckerberg to pollute freedom of speech in the time of Covid by controlling online information. Obviously Rula Jebreal and Alan Friedman could not be missing. But the best of all remains Roberto Hope. Remember that photo of him with the Kamala Harris sign? Returning from the Democratic Convention, the former minister said he was convinced that “a new wind is blowing in the United States” and that the Democratic Party should “be on the side of change”, that is, of Kamala. And again: “American Democrats have their feet firmly planted in the working class, they have put work at the centre”. The electoral results demonstrated the exact opposite, that is, that the Dems still proved to be so far from the social class they once represented. It’s not enough to show Lady Gagà or Taylor Swift on stage, who fill stadiums but not the ballot boxes; There’s no need to even defend the demands of the genderless or proclaim cancel culture to convince those who, every day, work to put together lunch and dinner. Rather, the left should go back to talking about what people are interested in: stop illegal immigration, less taxes, more work.
– Once again the American Democrats are stunned. How could a man they consider deranged, strange and fascist defeat them for a second time? They will blame misinformation, The Donald’s lies and maybe a Musk.
But the truth is that the Dems have now focused on minorities, have taken a paternalistic tone and have forgotten the “working class”. Nono it is enough to show Lady Gagà or Taylor Swift on stage to convince those who, every day, fight to combine lunch with dinner.
– How cool is it that Google Translate translates “Trump” into “Briscola”?
