The results only reflect a worldwide trend
The results of 2024 are less surprising if we look at them through the global lens. incumbent candidates and establishment figures start to lose more often against anti-establishment, “strongman” leaders. The loss of Vice President Kamala Harris is just another example of this phenomenon.
But what made the public opinion suddenly shift? The main factor is the fear and uncertainty that people feel worldwide caused by the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing economic challenges, such as high inflation.
People are simply anxious about their future, and they want leaders who have a decisive, no-nonsense approach rather than the ones they already have or are associated with the current leaders.
The “anti-institution movement” is a global trend that shows us how people don’t trust government agencies, universities, schools, and medical systems anymore. These institutions should help society advance, but right now most people refuse to give power to any of them.
Political parties have shifted
According to many political reporters, the base of Republicans is now mostly made up of working-class people, whereas the coalition of Democrats is disproportionately composed of professionals, university professors, and other specialists.
The Democratic Party is now home to “the enforcers of propriety,” or people who are seen as the guardians of established systems and norms. At the same time, the Republican Party became more appealing to working-class voters who felt that the above-mentioned people and institutions betrayed them.
The split is also visible in how many industries identify with the two parties. Based on the data, those working in highly skilled information industries are more inclined to vote Democratic, while those operating in agriculture and mining are more likely to favor the Republican Party and Donald Trump.

WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE WITH SUCH AN EXTENDED CRIMINAL RECORD COULD BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Now you know the peoples doesn’t care about your private life , all they care is if you’re capable 0f doing the job right for America as a whole
Linda, let me help you with that. Look at how the Democrats treat anyone they do not want in a political position. Think Bret Cavanaw for example. They drug him thru the mud making up BS stories to discredit him and in the end all was proven wrong. This has been and is there current tactic and it works, sometimes. They did the same to Trump and will continue to do so as he poses the biggest threat to their way of life.
Do you really believe the Democrats have no crime history amongst their piers? The difference is unless there are real facts the republicans do not pursue this line of deceit. Every crime the Biden’s committed was quickly swept under the rug so to speak by the FBI and the DOJ! Food for thought.
It’s to show everybody just how corrupt this world has become!!
An invented CRIMINAL RECORD, STUPID
Why it’s been happening for CENTURIES look at everything the dems have gotten away with for decades!!
Linda,
What criminal record? The cases are being dropped and you failed, as dims do, to list any, only make accusations blindly.
You probably didn’t read the article. Those were all political scams.
Yeah, I don’t know how Biden-Harris remained so long after being responsible for so many deaths of innocent babies thru abortion and allowing illegals across the border to murder American families.
They were fake charges created by prosecutors who twisted facts to fit a distorted narrative.
I agree with you. I did not vote for Trump and would never do so. the first time he was in, there were things that happened in my neighborhood which were directly caused by his actions in bringing unsuited officers into our area. One of those beat his wife and son on multiple occasions, almost killing his 6 year old son. (Son has now been adopted by a Mexican American family, thank God! I don’t know what has happened to his wife!) If these individuals had stayed where they were I think they would have been okay, although I really don’t know.
Trump gets people all riled up and appoints people to positions for which they are not qualified. He loves violence and encourages it.
That’s why biden lost.
I agree america is now the laughing stock of the world …the only gangster nation in existence
Simple. A majority of voters didn’t believe it. The unjust prosecution of a political opponent actually turned into a positive for Trump, not just for his MAGA supporters but for people like myself who respect the rule of law and were repelled but the misuse of our justice system.
Because most Americans recognized the charges and the “convictions” were bogus .
I agree. People who voted for him will get what they deserve. The White House is nothing more than a criminal enterprise. Now parents can tell their children
You can lie, be prejudiced against people of color, make up alternate truths and stoll become president
What in the world are you talking about?? He has no criminal record. That was all fabricated to keep him out. He is not a pedophile like joe.
Trump’s margin of victory in the popular vote was a little less than 1.66%. If Kamala had a grand total of 231,489 more votes in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, she would have been elected in a squeaker at 270 EV versus 268 for Trump.
I think the dominant factor in Kamala’s loss was the fact she is a woman. We saw the same thing in 2016. The Hispanic statistics are telling; so is the male youth category. America is just not ready for a female president.
this time there was fraud and cheating on the republican side–Massive and helped along by Elon Musk and all the billionaires and the Masons! They control the media–disseminating lies and misinformation. Also Democrats are too clean and passive. They need to turn just as dirty. Enough is enough. We can’t sit quietly all the time.
When is anyone going to admit that this is a racist, sexist country filled with stupid people that will vote against their own interest to keep the race of minorities under the wealthy majority leadership and vote for a RAPIST, and a CONVICTED CRIMINAL to be president of the UNITED STATES. The USA was suppose to be the world leader, I disagree I believe we became the WORLD’S BIGGEST JOKE. Other countries have been enlightened enough to vote for women, what is wrong with the USA, like I say stupid people. When your attempt is to make one group of people suffer, don’t you realize we are all going to suffer as we all are living under the same leadership
So many lies! So many Uninformed…put this criminal back in the WH.
Shocking and Shameful.
I am afraid that the Americans who ultimately won Trump the election represent the demographic that Trump cares the least about. He seems to be openly contemptuous of the middle class despite the fact that the support of middle class men is what propelled Trump to victory. I hope the government’s instituted checks and balances system remains strong and viable enough that some of Trump’s more risky and outlandish policies and proposed legislation can be reigned in before they adversely affect all Americans. President Trump, please consider how your decisions will affect all Americans. We all deserve competent representation not just the elite.
The Kamala Harris major job was at the US Mexico Border.
The reasons she lost are only US government tasks and job-oriented success.
The Whole country is living in some fantasy land beyond protecting American interests.
The American people see reality. The story tellers live in fantasy land.
I didn’t vote for Trump. Trump is a convicted felon no matter where he’s sitting.
I don’t think Trump can make America great more than it’s already is. Trump is going to wake up every day and think about his revenge. I didn’t vote for Trump. I don’t believe a convicted felon should be the leader of the free world.
I strongly believe that President Trump is the best and most caring President in the history of America’s politics. He will be remembered in US and all over the world. The Democrats, lefties and media attacked him so terribly but he prevailed. Why? Because God is with him. No weapons formed against him will prosper. If God is for President Trump, who can be against him? God loves President Trump and we do, too.
I’m an 82 year old male, college graduate. I see the seeds of the 2024 loss to Trump as four main things. First, our education system has utterly dropped the ball in both guiding students to see
what democracy vs. autocracy means to people’s happiness. I graduated high school in 1960 and was passed for civics really never mentioned how blessed we are in a democracy and never had a
former citizen of an autocracy come and tell us about life under dictators.
Second, young men, by and large, in our society are falling into sports fandom/macho world where someone like the Orange Dip-Shit appeals to them because as the coward that he is (draft dodging, fire people in real life by tweet) he projects toughness. Women are ascending in our society – which is all right with me.
I’m running out of space so let me end by sayng that the Dems have to realize that politics in the
21 first century has to be played in the taverns, legion halls, and by direct communication with
blue collar workers not big rallies and appearances on Saturday Night Live which was real cut for
the young elites but fell flat with people struggling to pay the rent/mortgage.
He will not do anything to make America any better,he will help only the rich, do away with unions that help workers get good pay and benefits they deserve, he will ruin the health care system especially the Medicare the older people rely on and cut the social security to those of us who need it and have earned it with working over the years, it is our money that we earned and not some kind of gift for people. Those who supported him in the election have rude awakening coming and all of us will suffer for that .
He persuaded the gullible American voters who felt that they had enough of the Drmocratic party which did not read the people’s mind well enough to understand what was really going on.
Skamala Harris was a terrible empty suit candidate that had nothiing to offer, just like 2019-2020. Biden didn’t do anything to help the left either. He reneged on ALL of his campaign promises, continues to support a genocide; and and continues flushing money down the toilet in Ukraine. No thanks to wither of them…

Reasons why Trump won the presidential election?
1. Backing of Elon Musk, the billionaire who manipulated the votes through Starlink (his internet)
2. Bomb threats at all polling stations in Swing states which stopped the vote counts and allowed Musk/Starlink and/or the poll watchers to manipulate the votes behind the scenes during the downtime
3. Conspiracy theories and lies spread continuously to viewers by Fox News, Newsmax and New York Times since 2016 to the present
4. Ignorance of 50% population of the United States
5. Lack of education and access to correct information and sources among 50% of the US population.
6. Poll watchers manipulated the votes behind the scenes at poll stations
7. Misinformation generated by Russia and Elon Musk on X
Elon musk and his money helped the results too.
I believe there was another reason that supersedes them all – Kamala Harris herself.
While some were willing to listen to what she had to say, her inability to clearly lay out a plan for the future quickly led to voters deserting her. It contrasted sharply with Trump’s detailed plans for HOW he was going to Make America Great Again.
The entire undemocratic dumping of Biden and switch to Harris did not play well. Harris was the most unpopular VP in history. She had been given two assignments and made a mess of them both. The border and the expansion of the internet to rural America. Her role in Biden’s health coverup also did not play well.
Bottom line: Kamala Harris was just not a viable candidate.
This article just goes to show how out of touch democrats are with the real issues. Trump won, but they still do not get it or understand why.
Thank the good Lord that Donald Trump was elected. Our country wouldn’t be in trouble now if the election wasn’t stolen last time. Donald Trump is a born again Christian and is working God’s will for the good of the country!!
Trump as a business person is a failure businessman . where ever he will be or he is ,will be failure.
Sign of failure : 25% tax on both side of our borders . NOW who will pay high prices and who will
keep the profits. You figure out sir.
