Importance: High
am looking at this from over here in Germany. American politics gets reduced in the end to only a few
issues: pro-life or pro-choice, gun laws, and establishment vs. anti-establishment. Political categories
are so wishy washy and intermingled with what is termed 'liberal' and 'conservative' that one forgets
what they actually mean.
of course, not everybody who voted for Trump is sexist or a racist, but, on some level, they didn't care
if he is. He knew how to gather momentum with the discourse he chose, and, even if he changes his tone,
he has let loose a storm. We will brace ourselves over here for Putin's eventual takeover of the Baltic
States. Putin has extended his power back into Republic of Georgia, the Crimea, and Armenia. Trump has
said that he would not come to the aid of Nato allies if they were attacked. Is is the least of our
problems here in Germany; Erdogan is a much larger threat, for now.
don't see Hillary Clinton as being at fault. I see the growth of nationalism (all throughout the world,
not just in the USA) and an underestimation of the fear that non-Hispanic whites have about the
trajectory they are on to become a minority (in the USA and other European countries).
Every news show, talk show, etc here is discussing and analysing the fallout of Trump's win. German
politicians are hoping to learn from it, to stem the growth of the right wing AFD party here. As far as
know, Merkel is the only leader who congratulated Trump with a warning.
