I'm not an American either. I m a European woman and don't like Trump but I find it shocking how you speak of Denocracy when most of the (American or International) Press which should be impartial , have been campaigning against him and havw tried to influence people relentlessly. How this is democratic when only one voice is heard, I don't know.

And let's talk about allowing 200 members of the UK Labour Party to come over to the States to canvass for the Democrats.

This beggars belief. Allowing people from a foreign country who don't live in the States, don't pay taxes there, don't work there + have 0 idea about how the majority of Americans live, to come over to tell you how to vote?

Seriously? Hell, if any American party members were to do the same and come over to my country to tell us how to vote, there would be a riot!

Democrats also accuse Trump of having dictatorial tendencies and maybe he has but from where I'm standing you aren't much better. Anyone who doesn't share your opinion is automatically shut down and branded a fascist, a racist, an idiot, the list goes on..

If that's not totalitarian I don't know what is.

Maybe some Americans got fed up with it?

I also find it shocking how much dirt has been thrown at Trump while , frankly , Democrats have also been guilty of corruption and have gotten away with it.

And I'll explain to you one of the reasons why people may have voted for Trump: Because the attacks against him were so relentless, and the Press was so manipulative against him, that people simply had enough & decided to vote for him as a reaction to all the Trump bashing.

But the most shocking thing I find is how you and your Democrat friends have a complete disregard for the concerns of the working classes you pretend to fight for and for the middle classes.

What average Jo wants is being able to pay their bill, run their car to work, and feel safe. But every time, Democrats failed to address these concerns specifically about illegal immigration and the economic and safety problems this creates. You are not the ones living in trailer parks under the poverty line or just above , you are not living from pay check to paycheck, and your back garden isn't invaded by illegal migrants climbing over the fence ( it's an image).

But you are ignoring and worst, showing contempt for people who are confronted to this every day.

It infuriates me how the supposed "Left" (& this is a very lose term for American Democrats) in every country has become the party of the Rich middle class & privileged ignorant kids who decide to vote left because it's "fashionable" , tiktok says so, and it's the party of tolerance etc..

What we call the Left ( generic term) was always meant to protect the working class, address their concerns and defend their interests. That was its intent when Socialism appeared in Europe..But it has been high jacked by the upper middle class with money in the bank and more concerned about zooming around on their electric scooters and bitching about petrol cars and LGBT rights ( while jumping on a flight to Dubai without a 2nd thought thus dumping tons of kerosene on our heads) than about the real struggles of Jo Blog who hasn't taken a holiday in years and needs his old petrol car to make it to work and who lives surrounded by -and in fear of - mostly illegal religious extremist migrants from another culture ..

The Left has abandoned these people. The Left has ignored and ridiculed their concerns, dismissing them as racist, stupid or anti ecologist.

So the working classes, in desperation have turned to the Far right. And it's entirely the Left's fault.

Like some commentators in my country said: hate him or like him, Trump is the only one who listened and addressed these issues. You guys didn't. You just kept spreading your contempt for the people and for anyone who doesn't think like you.

Here is the result. You only have to blame you arrogance for this.

And after all this, I don't even like Trump and his friend Elon Must even less.
