In my view, the election was not unlike 1920, when the populace was worn out from a pandemic, concerned about immigration, and was happy to turn the reins of power over to Republican billionaires, who proceeded to destroy the economy. Inflation also did not help, as incumbents worldwide were hurt.
I don't disagree, and the outcome of any election is driven by multiple factors, but I have to add that too many post mortem analyses have glossed over (or simply ignored) the impact of racism, misogyny, and social status anxiety.
And that ended well for everybody, right?
If your thing was selling apples on the street corner, absolutely.🙄
