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. Sadly.

The Americans have been terrified of the left/communism (you choose) for decades. Read up on the Mccarthy era, aka "The Second Red Scare"

If it wasn't so pitiful, it'd be laughable.

I'm guessing that "the left" will be the least of Americans' problems in the next few years.
 
There will be women that are devastated and women that are delighted, they have both received a fair % of votes from multiple genders and ethnicities.

One thing is for certain, Harris now needs to step down her position is literally now void. As for Biden well paint drying is more interesting than what he has become

As a woman, It feels incredibly sad and lonely this morning. You all may laugh about it, and I can’t believe I’m sharing this on a sports forum, but the feeling of having no bodily autonomy is horrifying.

You won’t believe the text conversation I had with my 28yr old daughter at 2am this morning. Heartbreaking.
 
Now we know Donald Trump has won and will be the next US president, let's remind ourselves where he stands on some key issues:

  • The economy: Trump has promised to "end inflation and make America affordable again" - he says he'll do this by expanding US energy production and opening areas such as the Arctic wilderness to oil drilling to lower energy costs.
  • Taxes: He's proposed a number of tax cuts worth trillions, including an extension of ones he enacted in 2017, which mostly helped the wealthy. Trump says that he will pay for cuts through higher growth and tariffs on imports.
  • Immigration: Trump campaigned heavily on this issue, promising to seal the US's border by completing construction of the wall he promised to build between the US and Mexico during his last presidency. He's also said he'll enact the biggest mass deportation of undocumented migrants in US history.
  • Climate: He previously rolled back hundreds of environmental protections, including limits on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and vehicles, and protections for federal waterways. He's again vowing to cut regulations and has attacked electric vehicles, promising to overturn the Biden administration's bid to switch to cleaner cars.
  • Abortion: Trump has struggled to find a consistent message on abortion, but suggested during his campaign that individual US states should decide its legality. Three Supreme Court judges he appointed while president were pivotal in the overturning of Roe v Wade - a ruling which had guaranteed women, nationwide, the right to an abortion up until the point of foetal viability.

I’m not sure anyone understands both what you’re saying and what you think just happened, but no-one is “stepping down their position”!!!
