Here’s how I explain trump LED republican victory.

If my friends on the left many hated him personally for his character. I never hated Kamala Harris. She is capable. However, her platform is not only too far left, but her ideas of taxing unreceived gains, price control even a college freshman understand is crazy. Trump has humor and crowds even in Bronx on the left ate it up. His message is simple. Economy, cut tax, cut regulation, don’t force people to eat brie when they want a steak sandwich. He rightly supported Israel’s right to live on a Jewish state without constant missiles coming at it and wars. To Muslims, no one wants innocent people to be killed in Gaza but Hamas played them to get killed for sympathy. It worked with many in the world who focus on the 40,000 soldiers civilians killed in Gaza but not hundreds of thousands dead in war in Ukraine, Sudan, Ethiopia, Yemen.

There are 7 million Arabs in Israel, Gaza, West Bank, starting from 500,000 one hundred years ago, there is no “genocide”.

Since many Jews in Israel came from being evicted from Morocco, Egypt, Syria. There was no “colonization”.

Voters didn’t buy that trump did not do the best he would get in COVID vaccines. Fauci ran that department along with others. They stifled debate. Only Florida and a few other states kept their economy open.

Voters don’t want a man who changes to female, boxing a female or dunking on her . Otherwise they have no problem with people transitioning as young adult.

Voters fear China, Russia, Iran, North Korea coalition of bad actors. They believe Trump and people around him are far better equipped to deal with those issues.

Voters don’t want Hunter laptop issue buried before election, suppression speech or lawsuit that have questionable merit i.e. 33 felony charges from one check to a lawyer they found obscure. They didn’t buy puffing on financial statement with no damages, wrongdoing what Biden did with government documents they bought it. Keep at home with secret service a put off.

And Trump campaigned hard, answered questions with humor. Communicated. Harris did not. Not only did she change her policies (not her values which means a later change back) likely.

Further, the Left sees everything but about blacks, whites, Hispanics, gay. Trump looked at merit and sensible old-fashioned policies of strong economy , strong defense and knowing who is coming in to live here.

By the way, Trump won in spite of the fact the economy is good. People can get jobs. In California, it’s worse on high taxes by Democrat legislative and Governor one party has pushed out businesses, people left without jobs, taxes not the same, state with city deficits.
