I think Americans are going to be more judgmental, even condemnatory, and passive-aggressive towards each other, than he government.
Last time when Trumpy was elected, people didn’t believe. “No, this is not us”, “no, Americans would never vote for a dictator. There has been a mistake”, “Trump tricked them to vote. People were naive, and they believed him”.
No, it’s not that.
People who voted for him in 2016, knew who he was. He talked and talked about immigrants, and Americans loved it. None cared about economy, or education, or international relations.
And they did it again. It seems like Americans, people who took land from First Nations of America in both north and south America, care more about preserving their lands / keeping them from immigrants.
Trump did not do anything about immigrants in 2016-2020. He is not gonna do anything in the future, either.
But he can fool Americans, and Americans seem to get fooled.
This time, it’s different.
It me a long time to realize the nature of Americans. It’s a spectrum. Some are more reserved, and some are open-minded and more immigrant friendly. But it took me a long time to admit I need to change my residence in order to see more liberals.
Even academia and workplace; people claim they are not racist. But many of them were. At the same time, they screamed we are not racist. Now, no one believes them. People, and the whole world knows they are racist, and stupid, to be honest.
But now, Americans know themselves. They believe they did this, they voted for him. They know they are the problem. People. They are going to target each other more and more than before, whenever Trumpy makes another unintelligent decision. They are going to stand in front of each other.
What amazes me is that Trump actually did not care about immigrants, at all. He brought a couple of strange and unacceptable policies about visas, but that didn’t change what went on inside the US. His wall was unfinished, Mexico didn’t pay for it (of course, why would they), and he only wasted people’s money on something populist and stupid.
But these people had time to know him. They know who he is, and still voted for him. He gained the popular votes in 2024, unlike 2016. People still voted for him for the sake of getting rid of immigrants. That’s big.
But at least, the other half now know who is the problem, and this time, they won’t only target Trump. They will consider people, themselves, as responsible, as well. And they know they are alone.
Trumpy is someone’s puppet. He is here only to make puppeteer’s wishes come true.
I don’t believe that people didn’t know about the puppeteer. They knew, but they still preferred to vote for Donaly.
