As US elections approach, increasing number of people are beginning to realize that Donald Trump cannot be completely written off.
Writing for the Qatari regime’s TV station, Al Jazeera, Mark LeVine of the University of California states that “voting in November is no longer about choosing an ‘ally’ that will surely betray you or even choosing the lesser of two evils. Rather, it is about having the good fortune of choosing an adversary whom you just might be able to defeat and a strategic position that enables the continuation of the struggle for racial, economic, climate and other forms of social justice without the risk of mass repression and even civil war. Just as clear is what will happen if this opportunity is not taken. As a Facebook friend from a Midwestern battleground state described his Trump-loving neighbours after Jacob Blake’s shooting: ‘You can feel it building, they hate you and they are going to vote. ‘If those votes are not matched by a similarly motivated Democratic electorate, the End of Days might arrive a lot sooner than we think’.”
However, these are not the only reasons Trump might retain the White House. Trump’s modus operandi and the way it is marketed is simplistic.
It appeals to an average poorly-informed American voter.
The US society is literally imploding, as recent events in Portland clearly show.
In these circumstances it is not rational political programs that will win people over, but simplistic and energetic motivational slogans.
Joe Biden clearly lacks energy and his political style is too bland to create voter enthusiasm on a mass scale.
For decades the US corporate media and its ruling establishment were molding an internal political environment more resembling a cheap entertainment show, than an educated national discussion platform.
This makes a buffoon like Trump more suited to manipulate the poorly informed voters.
