The demolition of Trumpism

Listen to this note:

 

The world is eager for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to crush Donald J. Trump at the polls and advance the keynesianism with which the Joe Biden administration opened, promising to prioritize the well-being of workers. 

As if having a candidate wasn't enough felon, a showcase of imperial decadence, if Trump wins, the ethics and morals of Steven Bannon, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Steve Miller, Elon Musk, Pieter Thiel and others who are betting on the coronation of Trump as king of the techno monarchy that with a strong anchor in Silicon Valley wants to continue with the privatization of everything would burst onto the scene.  

If the United States wants to get out of the hole and out of processes of cultural death and political collapse, it will have to impose regulations, end monopolies and make companies pay taxes, as Bernie Sanders says; otherwise, it will never be able to come close to the quality of life in some industrialized countries, nor will it eliminate the interventionism that has caused so much damage in the world.  

Harris and Walz have offered to restore social mobility to the middle class and address the needs of workers, and have asked to wait to win in order to address the genocide in Palestine.  

Women, youth, Black and Brown Power, and bourgeois, liberal and centre-left democratic forces feel represented by the platform, the quality of the arguments, and the know-how shown by Kamala Harris, her experience on the streets, in administration and with the people, which will allow her to demolish Trump in the debate, at the polls and in the exercise of government.  

It would be a shift on par with Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, which could turn the United States into something close to Scandinavia, as Michael Moore wants.
