From Sky news; “The president-elect has made no secret of his frustration at how the US has for decades bankrolled the security blanket that protects Europe.” This is one I don’t get. The motivation here was that the US have markets to trade with and to stop large scale conflict disrupting the...

You could counter that with Trump having the backing Rogan etc. Think this is a bit of a misconception and leans into the fallacy that it’s some kind of normal man against the elites. There is a huge amount of money behind Trump, institutions favoured the dems though.

I don’t think it’s a shock no the consensus was it was neck and neck but the margin of error could cause an easy win either way. Probably Trump has done slightly better than expected but then the polls had him leading nearly every swing state yesterday. Thst said he was trailing considerably...

Also the people who hate snowflakes but upset an academic on twitter can’t understand their reasoning. The whole argument just comes across as so fragile, insecure and resentful I just can’t understand it. No wonder populism is making a come back.

And the elites online were tweeting into the void.

Be careful not to talk down to people please.

I’m not sure anyone is emotional just fascinated and slightly concerned?

I mean we the posters on here who don’t understand why people vote for Trump. We just want to be proved right, if we cite evidence we’re talking down to people, we’re in an echo chamber etc. whatever “we” say is met with derision.

Yes my point is it doesn’t favour Trump but historically should do. Im not back tracking on anything. They are considered one of the most neutral and evidence based publications, if they have a slight bias it’s pro business/libertarian. However, they still backed Harris and see Trump as not...

We can’t win really can we?

Suspect He will say we need to let China have it in exchange for doing business with them. I know various western nations have tried to start building fabs for semiconductors but don’t think we are anywhere near ready to keep our own industries afloat.

Yeah we are guaranteed some kind of Tory/Reform love in.

No I was suggesting it wasn’t left leaning, which it isn’t. In theory it should favour Trump as their bias is libertarian.

That really will tank the global economy.

Everyone in Europe should be concerned and watching Russia closely.

No they’re not neutral they’re pro business but they are one of the more neutral outfits. Most publications make an editorial endorsement. Even if they were incredibly left leaning the points made in the quote I shared are literal facts. My point was I don’t know how people disregard them and...

From the Economist - notorious left wing rag ;) “Some comeback stories are the stuff of political legend. Donald Trump, a convicted felon who sought to subvert the 2020 presidential election, is poised to return to the White House. He will be the oldest man ever to be elected president in...

See that fear I can at least understand and suspect it’s more of a factor than some “elites” moaning on twitter.

In some ways community and looking out for each other are more important than ever so I get your point Pete.

This is my frustration with Trumps isolationist. So much of the development we have seen is due to post WW2 cooperation.
