While the rest of the world was very aware what would happen in a new Trump regime, it seems the MAGA movement were somewhat misaligned in how they thought a vote for Trump would somehow benefit them. Cumulating with an attack on Immigration, Trade, Allies, the courts, the law, government services, voter suppression, free speech & democracy along with social services, education, health care and the economy was all going to turn out great under Trump. Not to mention taking guidance from that “genius” policy template, project 25 that he knows nothing about! Well, it’s still only early days but the writing is on the wall for the ship of fools in the Whitehouse. It may be too late for any MAGA voters’ remorse as well as all those lazy democrats in every swing state who apparently stayed home on election day. But as one MAGA voter commented, “I voted for other people to get hurt, not me!” That will become their calling card, almost three decades of choosing to live in the Fox news universe comes with a price along with their leader always committing crimes then claiming to be a victim. If Fox news tells their audience its raining on a blue sky day then it must be raining, its exactly how a cult works, make people ignore what they are actually seeing. They did this the entire time Obama & Biden were in office, but when in Trump world everything is just fine. The very wealthy are no different, they also live in that same bubble totally removed from the real world, thinking what benefits them must benefit everyone. The obsession with tribalism and owning the libs along with the so-called war on woke just shows how a lack of empathy for their fellow man with this America first BS can just as easily be translated into America last. This is how North Korea evolved to become an isolated state with a large percentage of their population always struggling just to survive. It’s what happens with authoritarians, especially a narcissist like Trump because anyone who comes into his orbit its the “kiss of death” they either end up in jail, bankrupt, or their career is over. That can also include countries, even Elon Musk is now feeling that pain, yet was lured down the same rabbit holes where critical thinking abilities vanish despite his intelligence. Helped along by poor lifestyle choices (or perhaps victim to one of his own neural implants going rogue) where an alternate reality becomes his new world view. The same goes for all Maga & Religious fanatics, regardless of education cannot critically think anymore. It’s either that or a more underlying prejudice in why 70+ million Americans would rather vote for an ignorant fascist criminal knowing his track record that comes with a high risk to destroy everything along with almost 90 million who decided not to vote which is just as bad. As opposed to voting for a smart educated black woman and I think that question answers itself. So, a simple example like the Trump tariffs believing this will somehow revive the 1950’s with a Labor-intensive manufacturing industry suddenly being resurrected back to the US in 2025 is a complete fantasy. Even the mining industry has become automated with specialised machinery now and the same goes for the car industry. It’s even less labour intensive in production line assembly with multi parts sourced globally. Automation & Robots are far more efficient than human labour, (no vacations, no pay, no sick leave, etc) and most of these robots are made in Asia. So, unless you want to import sweat shops back to the US, all these stupid exercises achieve nothing except a complete collapse of the economy and total self-destruction of a country. America like most western advanced countries achieved their success in the current century providing services not by throwing more people into coal mines or drilling for oil and the MAGA mob just don’t get it. Any large manufacturing venture that starts from scratch these days will want the skills of highly educated engineers for automation not low skilled people assembling parts & packing boxes unless it’s a small boutique industry. The highly skilled demands will far outweigh the unskilled by a massive margin. Trump has surrounded himself with complete idiots, there are no wise people giving him advice anymore. He chooses people like him where ideological fanatics operate on a world view that is totally opposite to the truth. Taking the most successful country on Earth into the toilet and no-one in the regime has the courage to speak up to realize what massive mistake’s they are making. There is a trend in conservatism worldwide these days especially in western countries flooded with propaganda trying to resurrect failed economic and ideological ideas that have no place in a modern connected global world. Currently in Australia we are also in an election mode but what is going on in America right now has tremendous impact on all western countries that are aligned with the US. A tragedy in the making where no good outcome for both the US and the world can be seen while it’s allowed to continue. Greed that comes with capitalism has always been good for building empires but it can never be sustained the same way once an Empire is established. That’s what the Europeans have learnt with 1000’s of years more history, they have done all forms of government with Kings & Queens, along with dictators and everything in between. Yet settled on a form of government where everyone pays their fair dues and year after year always rank as the happiest nations on Earth. America has NEVER been one of them, due to that uneven wealth distribution accelerated during Regan’s time results in a large percentage of their population living in poverty. Helped along by the undue influence of big business in the way government is run. However, the world is about to give Trump’s America a real look in the mirror exposing that minority section of their population who choose a seriously flawed regime self-destructing their own country was never going to make America great.
