In the aftermath of the presidential election, most newspapers, Youtubers, podcasts or wherever you listen to the media, the trend topic is why, we the people, made Mr. Donald Trump go back to the White House.
Statistics and possible explanations are served for every political party the same for the non-party. However, coming from a developing country where the political chaos reigns, I’m still impressed that it seems that people, the majority, were able to forgive all the accusations and proved charges against the returning president.
On top of that, the two attempts of assassinations which fortunately did not work — I may not agree with most of his rhetoric, but nobody deserves that — played on his favor, making him a “hero” as he stated “I’d like to think that God thinks that I’m going to straighten out our country.”
Being a Latina voter, I’m amazed for the increase of the Latino supporters to the Republican party considering his warhorse is his immigration plan, and the countless times the MAGA leader has openly poured detrimental comments against Latinos. Those comments have encouraged his supporters — mostly white men — to be widely loud against Latinos, sparking racism and division in our country.
In their defense, Latinos tend to value faith, family and traditions. The Republican party campaign included talking to Judeo-Christian leaders, and its leader stating “We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God.”
This moving, spiritual and patriotic statement could have moved even to the most agnostic undecisive voter, not only to ex-Democrat Latinos.
Most of them, as many as his faithful followers, coincide with the main reason is the economy. Harris did not make any effort to differentiate herself from Biden, but his political partner did not play very well in the economy, international politics among other relevant topics. The result shows most people are screaming for a change. Period.
Whatever the reason is, no more ink nor time should be invested in deciphering the results of the election. Let’s look at the future and envision what we want for ourselves, our family, our community and our nation.
Knowing the U.S. Senate is now 53 red vs. 46 blue seats, and the red hat leader being a strong persona, as he tends to impose his will, let’s all, we the people, regardless of if we support him or not, be the watchdogs on his second term.
Like in the airport saying, “if you see something, say something.”
“No one is above the law” and that is what I personally love and admire about this great nation. The political apparatus is stronger than anything or anyone.
Let’s be alert, stop hating, and let’s work together.
