US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

Dream on. In the USA a majority think "the Left" is synonymous with treason.
Today in America the people's flag is indeed deepest red, to quote the song - red like Trump's tie.
America doesn't have a left wing option. Liberals aren't left wing. When it looked like Sanders was going to win the primaries in 2016 the liberals stole it from him and went with Clinton.
 
I think the single biggest reason for the result is that in spite of objective evidence to the contrary people feel they are worse off than they were four years ago. Even so it's hard to avoid the feeling, as someone posted on here last night, that America prefers a rapist to a woman.
 
The West only emphasizes the oppression of religious freedom.

It is weird, the West being opposed to the regime you support rounding people up en masse and putting them in in prison camps because of their ethnicity or religion. Anyway, now Trump's in power you don't need to worry about that. Other things, maybe, but not that,

Anyway ,it's a waste of time...
FUCK
 
What these individuals are feeling, more than anything else, is the decline of western hegemony. Weak growth and mass migration made necessary by an inexorably ageing population. I guess it’s possible to ameliorate these things by pulling certain levers but the fundamentals are unchanged. I fear it’s a tsunami that will overwhelm most developed countries in the course of the next generation and will lead to increasingly radical and desperate solutions that will ultimately have little effect.
Agree with that, though I suspect that we might now see AI/Automation/Tech embraced in ways and on a scale that few have fully considered. Its adoption will undercut the demand for migrant labour but very soon undercut other jobs, too.
