The Nazis had a the worst war ever in human history at that point. Along with hyper inflation that ruined million’s and the hangover of Versailles and the all the imperialist ideas that were still in vogue. An entire generation slaughtered in the trenches, near famine. A Germany whose elites never recognized Weimar as legitimate and even a near socialist revolution in Bavaria!!
The US electorate has what exactly? 3-4% annualized GDP growth. The best recovery since the Great Recession. Key leads in AI and just about every industry. Oil and energy independence. The best economy on planet earth where you can print unlimited dollars for your own use while the rest of the world consumes it. A undisputed hegemony that shapes world politics by its sheer military might.
It’s a bit baffling what caused a sudden shift to a person who’s a narcissistic pig who wants to bring back economics that was discredited back in the Great Depression.
Is it simply understood as a working class revolt against globalization and neoliberal politics?
They voted for him twice maybe who knows a third time if he lives long enough…
Obama was "given a chance" by white people and he just turned out to be part of the machine and not for the people (ofc, lol), so they went full white supremacy because it's the other side of this false dichotomy and because white Americans are inherently racist and violent people and that's always an option and Donny represented that option (because white Americans will often have been raised by the OG colonizers/slavers/imperialist soldiers so what can you expect?).
Idk why anyone thinks things have truly changed. It's the same people that were okay with genocide and colonization, chattel slavery, complete world control through incursion and bombings, etc etc, the empire is doing this today and the people are either fully in support because fuck brown people or just tacitly, silently support it! There are probably fewer than 5% of Americans with any sort of moral framework. And people will still say "God bless America" as if the best blessing God could give us all wouldn't just be the sudden destruction of America and vassals like Israel, lol. They never acknowledged how evil their so-called civilization is, they never repented, that's enough evidence for a lack of change. So why would Trump be such a surprise? He's the great white hope! 🤣
