I personally agree, Linda, BUT don't forget that history is written by the winners. And Trump and MAGA will continue to try to rewrite history with their "Fake News" and "alternative facts".

Howard, after they alone, or with Putin, have destroyed the US Empire, they won't be winners. Perhaps Putin will. Or, will the US rise like Brazil and oust Trump or JD Vance once they come to their senses. Are there senses to come to? My mother, an immigrant from the country I am now mostly living in, has always said Americans are faddish. It seems that many did not learn in these past 4 years the difference between a government that works for the people and a government that works for the rich. I doubt they will recognize the difference when it happens, because the ability to connect the dots is lacking.
I particularly agree with your very well-turned phrase, "It seems that many did not learn in these past 4 years the difference between a government that works for the people and a government that works for the rich." But they will not recognize the difference because the MAGA Government will simply pin the blame on whatever goes wrong on the "other", whomever that might be.
We missed the psyops. All about marketing. The package is more important than the product. The girls' sports commercial sealed the deal. Trump didn't need a ground game. Women who play sports should be feminists.
I am not going to analyze all of that right now. It seems that I have a good understanding of who lives in the USA, and right now I would rather have the data on groups and how they voted in each place, and who did not, rather than look at who to blame.
It is a time to plan how you can take care of yourself. The most vulnerable are between a rock and a hard place now, perhaps naively believing that a bad life cannot get worse, or having tried to vote against Trump.
Apparently a lot of people are looking up how to move to Canada. I know that in 2016 a lot of people not only moved there, but also sent their children to University there, so that was looking at ways to help integrate their children into another country. A friend of mine is banking on the fact that her son-in-law is Canadian as a back up if it is needed.
Let us not underestimate the super wealthy and the money they spent on access in this election. We watched Elon Musk buying the election in Pennsylvania with nothing to stop him. These people are so narcissistic just like Trump that they don't care about the world they leave their children, grandchildren, so obviously they cannot see that their children and grandchildren will inherit a less safe, less sustainable world with what they plan to do to it.

Sad since Elon has 16 children...
Sad because so many people are like him.
