I would never visit America. Gun Laws. Health Care. Workers Rightsz/Tipping culture. Food Standards. Etc....... Americans live in a bubble. You escaped. You stay here with us you very welcome. 🙂
I'm a Brit and followed the US election closely.. I was amazed from watching content on the Meidas Touch TH-cam channel just hoe many Americans critical thinking skills. Tariffs is a case in point, a huge number of people actually believe China would be paying them when it will ultimately be the end consumer. As for the rights of women, how anyone could vote for that is a sick mystery.
The whole world is shocked by this election but when 15 million democrats stay home what can you expect if you look at the result the vote seemed to be same for Donnie as 2020 with no increase
I wept at the result, not for the American people, if they want to return to a segregated 3rd world dictatorship that's up to them. I wept for the rest of the world, and my grandchildren, who because of the US will now live on a dying planet. I don't blame Trump but the people who blindly, selfishly gave him power and doomed us all.
I feel sorry for America and Americans. I believe the electorate will regret putting Trump in the white house. From someone from the UK Kamala Harris at least had some morality even if you didn't agree with some or all of her policies.
I get the impression that you think nobody outside of the US knew about thee election and I get the impression you believe that leaving the US will put you in a safe position. You are very wrong on both accounts.
Sorry to say you are wrong on both points, Of course people outside the US are aware of the presidential election in America and I am much safer here in in the UK than I ever was in the USA. But curious what I said specifically that collated to these conclusions...(honest question)...
I've watched, studied, and commented on US socio-politics on a daily basis for about 15 years - and I think I'm about done. I was incredulous when Trump became POTUS in 2016-17, but maintained a belief that Americans would see their mistake, and turn away from this uneducated and racist shyster. I maintained that belief for 8 more years - until the early hours of November 6th. But now I've given up on America and the American people. I've come to realise that by and large, most American adults are shockingly intellectually immature, and that their personal values are base upon an inhumane social structure and a popular culture that is shallow in the extreme. Many Americans can name the Kardashian family, but would be hard pressed to name half a dozen European countries. Proud churchgoers, who are happy to put aside everything Christ taught, to disparage, and hate upon fellow American who are "different". I'm old, and life's too short, so I'm not going to waste any more time on a hopeless case. America has elected an ignorant, mentally ill criminal who shits his pants - to lead the Western world. Thanks America - goodbye and good luck.
This is absolutely spot-on! I am very worried for America and the world more generally with this dumb maniac, and his incendiary rhetoric, being so easily manipulated by the enemies of peace, in charge.
America has for years educated its people with propaganda. The MAGA movement is based on the fallacy that America was great in the first place. What most American do not understand is that until the late 60s, all that came out of the films and TV about America had to comply with the Hayes code. A code that decreed it was illegal to show America in a bad way. The Hayes code was a piece of legislation that would have been looked at favourably in places like North Korea or the USSR.
Americans might deserve Trump but the world doesn't. Americans sometimes refer to their president as "Leader of the Free World". Some of them certainly act like they rule the world but only Americans get to choose who gets the job.
There is a lack of critical thinking in our state education systems and a lack of knowledge of how government and democracy works. I increasingly feel political parties take advantage of this and use it to further their ends.
America the land of the free, where your freedom extends to the extent that you have a choice of two political viewpoints, there are only two parties, how can that be free. All other democracies have multiple parties, you are not limited to voting for the two polar opposites. America's political freedom is not freedom, it is just dressed up to convince the people it is freedom. In a multi party system you have the freedom to choose left, right, middle and every colour in between. There is no political freedom in the USA, it is political straightjackets with a choice of two colours. Two parties that are totally controlled by big business. In Europe and the UK business sponsorship of politicians is illegal, in the USA it is accepted as the norm. Big business does not care if their product causes harm so long as it sells, the politicians they sponsor fight for that product not the safety of the citizens they represent.
They did polling in England, and apparently we would have voted 84:16 in favour of Kamala. Take from that what you will. It could’ve something to do with education, having at least some non-biased media, the NHS and also being sceptical of clowns and showmen. And also I think we let everyone blow off some nationalist steam by allowing Brexit to happen, despite being a disaster, because it’s what people voted for. You were spot on when you spoke of an alienated group - and ignoring them. This is one good thing about Brexit, because that group got what it wanted. Imagine where we would be now if liberals had cancelled Brexit. We would be where America is now I think. This feels like America’s Brexit moment, but it’s clearly 10 to 20x worse in terms of the change that is coming. It will make Brexit look like a cakewalk.
I believe most people love the country that they grew up in and hope it can do better. So I hope for your sake that it gets better eventually and people who voted for Trump realise their mistake
what i can't understand four years ago people voted in large numbers to get trump out of the office then four years later they could not be botherd and hand him the office have americans got that short a memory
I was totally shocked and dismayed on the 6th. As a Brit I was hoping to God that the American populus would not vote for him. My only wonder now is why so many Americans are shocked, obviously many many Americans voted for him, what do those who did not vote or voted for 3rd party candidates (in a 2 party system this was never going to work) expect to happen. I unistalled all news apps and have chosen to totally disengage from anything to do with American politics. For the good of my mental health, I don't want to know what is heading our way 😭😭😭😭
They did not vote for Trump. They voted Republican because either they always do, or they realised Harris would have been a disaster. Too many people making this about Trump. He just happened to be the candidate. You could put a monkey up as the Republican candidate, and they would still have won.
I'm not American so I didn't particularly care who won - but they both didn't inspire or made me feel they actually would know how to move the world forward. Plus never vote for someone just because of their skin colour, sex, hobbies or stamp collection - vote for the right person for the job, not the person that you're told you have to vote for because of someone else's check list !!
I'd never vote for a convicted fraudster who has been determined in court to have raped someone. Why vote for someone legally deemed unfit to run a charity because he stole from it ( a children's cancer charity ).
My God - you have to be joking, right? We have a decent person as leader. You may not like his policies but to prefer a convicted criminal is a criminal act in itself. Yu need to start really thinking about things in a critical way.
I can understand people not voting as there was no credible candidate. In the UK election people voted to get rid of the Conservatives. They didn't vote for what they want as that was not available.
It would be appreciated if you did not assume to speak for the British population. What "they" did or did not vote for is your opinion (which you are entitled to) it does not give you the right to speak for me or anyone else.
@robk5159 The OP is broadly correct. There is a party (the SDP) whose policies are what the majority want but they are struggling to make themselves heard.
@@ullscarf Astonishing!...The only accuracy ascribed to opinion polls is in fact their inaccuracy. However your comments regarding the wants, needs or preferences of the voting populous are beyond parody, to continue to know unequivocally what people know or want is beyond arrogance!
We need "the Donald" over here in the UK. They showed pictures of people queueing round the block to vote ! Guess why he won the "popular" vote ? Because he's POPULAR !!
The fifth running into the sixth of November has to be one of the most startling political disasters of this twenty-first century in the United States - & the global ramifications that will, inexorably follow. I've been reading various economic journals & broadsheet newspapers in the run up to this Presidential election - the forecasts for which were rather disparaging, but as I understand it (now), fifteen million Americans did not bother to go to the polling stations; now, you've stated that you would not apportion blame to your compatriots, but that number is considerably more than apathetic; in fact, that's a shade over five percent per capita of the populace. Obviously, not every one who declined would have voted for the Harris camp, but I'm pretty sure the odds would have been in her favour (populist vote, notwithstanding). Ultimately, this is on the electorate, & now America owns it for the next four years, & whilst Trump will not necessarily live out this presidency, that equally divisive & corrupt invidiual, Vance still has his green years ahead of him - he's the one your family & friends need to concern themselves with. For you, dear lady, have dodged the proverbial bullet...& I am happy for you & your loved ones (here) in that regard....
Did 15 million voters not show up, or were there votes disregarded. There were already reports of mass disenfranchising in Pennsylvania as cultists stripped people from the polls (without bothering to check if they were actually illegals or US citizens). Who's to say how widespread it is?
I would vote for King Kong if I thought he would save the Brits from the next four years of this Labour government so I perfectly understand Americans.
I just don’t understand people who like Trump. I met a New Zealander who was a Trump supporter, he was like “trumps a business man, US needs a business man” 🙄
I'm not surprised people didn't vote (with hindsight). The Americans were offered the choice of dull self-serving neoliberals or right wing populism. I wouldn't have known how to vote.
You wouldn't have known ! healthcare ! Women's rights ! Lower medicine costs ! More help for small businesses ! Hundreds of thousands of new homes ! verses Tariffs increasing costs to every American, A POTUS guilty of treason, convicted rapist who will destroy Education ! the list goes on and on
@stevealdridge9720 I'm sure Trump will do more damage than Harris would have, I meant to express apathy rather than puzzlement. I think people didn't vote for Harris because they couldn't see anything to vote for; there was certainly much to vote against.
@@stevealdridge9720 ... Well that's Trumps supporters for you, they thought that Tariffs meant that Countries like China would pay the Tariffs, they didn't realise it meant the Tariff costs would be passed on to every American in more expensive goods and higher prices.

Yes, it's sad how uninformed people are in the USA
I disagree. I certainly blame people for who they voted for or didn't vote. You reap what you sow. And so will everyone else in this case.
But the reason people vote also matters
