One reader recently shared that people of color, college-educated individuals, and women all played a significant role in the recent election. This sparked discussions on various topics, including the surprising voter base that helped Donald Trump win the presidency.
Steve, a reader, believes that Trump's victory can be attributed to the far right, racists, misogynists, and homophobes. However, it should also be noted that Trump gained support from a diverse range of minority groups. This includes black and Hispanic voters who chose a candidate with a history of making racist remarks, women who voted for a man accused of sexual misconduct, and college-educated individuals who may have disagreed with his stance on fossil fuels.
In light of these results, some are questioning whether we, the opposing side, could have been wrong in our beliefs. Others, like Graham Pearson from Epsom, are questioning if democracy is still an effective system in the face of such a pressing issue like climate change.
Meanwhile, there are discussions about the need for the Labour party to establish a connection with Trump, with Foreign Secretary David Lammy being criticized for his initial remarks towards the newly elected president. Some readers argue that it was inevitable for some to express dissatisfaction with the outcome, especially since they do not live in the US and may not fully understand the economic struggles faced by Americans.
On the other hand, there are also readers like John Daniels from Redhill who believe that our liberal left should have remained silent and not meddled in the US election. They believe that the UK government has damaged our relationship with the US by allowing Labour activists to support the Democrats and our foreign secretary's past comments being brought up.
As the discussions continue, one American reader named Tommy from London shares their thoughts on why they believe Trump won and how the left's predictions and celebrity endorsements may have been off the mark. They also express their loyalty to both Britain and America.
There are also talks about the unpredictability of Trump and how it may have affected Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. Some argue that Trump's unpredictability may have been a deterrent for Putin, as he could not rely on him to make a rational decision.
Moving on to the issue of climate change, some readers are concerned about Trump's stance on the matter. They believe that his denial of climate change and his plans to increase oil drilling could have catastrophic consequences for the world. They also express hope that Trump will come to realize the severity of the issue when it directly affects him.
Finally, there are discussions about individuals like JD Vance, Trump's vice-president-elect, and his wife Usha. Some believe that the fact that Usha is a practicing Hindu refutes the notion that Vance is a religious fanatic. Others argue that it is important not to generalize or label individuals based on their religious beliefs.
