America is a deeply divided country, but not Red vs Blue.
It is the rural whites vs the Suburbs and City Dwellers.
If America does not fix this problem they could lose their Democracy to a life term Trump or worse. If Democracy is lost, it will not be long before capitalism declines in the US...
Some conservatives voted for Republicanism and not Trumpism. Most of the smart republicans would be happy to dump Trump, but don't let the Democrats also have both houses and the presidency.
Jobs have declined in rural areas, with more people moving to cities and suburbs.
The rural Trumpanzee is less likely to be able to work from home than suburban and city dwellers. So the economy was a bigger factor than Coronavirus for them in terms of wages (e.g. food) than the risk of getting infected. The Maslow hierarchy of needs in action.
Trumps biggest supporters are mostly people totally disillusioned of America. They see a country with the highest GDP in the world, but "poorer" countries have higher earnings per capita. It is not working. They are frustrated. It is a nightmare that gets worse each night.
They are a communist mob who wants change- even if it means appointing Trump as a dictator for life. To hell with Democracy or science. FIRE FAUCI. LOCK HIM UP. LOCK THEM ALL UP. CHANT CHANT.
They are scared of change, and going backwards could be better than any other change...
America is very divided. The American dream is being achieved at the expense of the poor, with a whole host of tax laws that allow someone like Trump to legally cheat tax.
It shows that capitalism is in need of an upgrade to make sure the richest people pay the most tax instead of the least tax. No loopholes for the rich to use BS like deferral of tax.
Trumpism, (American nationalism or even German socialist Nazism of working class superiority) is a product of the division within America.
When Trump is gone, the division will not be. The problem of rural voters getting more disenfranchised remains.
Biden did allude to this briefly in his speech after media declared him the mathematical winner:Biden said that the disproportionality of votes for and against Trump showed that the rural area is a problem and clearly unhappy with Washington- and they need to be made happier. (e.g. more jobs).
It is no longer about red vs blue. It is not about race. It is rural vs city/suburbs...Rural conservatives vs the bourgeoisie.
