Electionstrut 2024
i thought about it mainly in terms of class. the cost of living has made it really hard for working class people since the pandemic. something has got to give. harris was all about helping the middle class (bastions of the status quo they are when it comes to the economy). poor people and many low wage workers are not turning out for that in 2024. they seemed more interested in wooing centre-right folks, so they didn't come out strong on sure wins for turnout (like, from leftists) like abortion rights or gaza ceasefire.
meanwhile, trump's base all came out. whatever else motivated those voters, he promised radical change (tarrifs) that will bring back manufacturing jobs, so i'm sure many ppl held their nose and voted for him. at least it was something radical! and now americans get to experience that radical change, brought to you by the (new) Status Quo. sure to be less fair than the previous one.
i also think national elections (everywhere?) in this social media age are being, uh, globalized like everything else. everyone must be f'ing with everyone else's elections! so we're all just suckers to the game in new and exciting ways. stuff like this:
