If one had worked out the worst case before the US presidential election, it would be exactly as the situation is now: there is a deadlock between Democrat Joe Biden and the president, there are millions of unspoken votes in Pennsylvania and a Lots of other tip states. , and President Donald Trump declares victory and suggests that something else will be electoral fraud. The United States is in a very dangerous position right now.
With a president who openly does not respect the rules of democracy.
The memory of CNN’s John King maniacally approaching the counties on the screen behind him in search of voices that could turn Hillary Clinton upside down, prevails. It is one of the strongest memories of the 2016 elections. He did not find the votes. On Tuesday, history repeated itself, a half-panicked search for a few thousand votes. The numbers were so clear in favor of Biden. The election slippage did not happen, replaced by crazy drama.

After Joe Biden secured the Michigan and Wisconsin elections on Wednesday night, Biden now only needs to win Nevada, Pennsylvania or Georgia to secure the 270 voters he needs to become the next president of the United States.
In 2016, Donald Trump won the first three states by 80,000 votes and with them power in the United States. In 2000, George W. Bush won against Al Gore in Florida by 537 votes. The margins have not been on the side of the Democrats. But if Biden still wins, what does he win? An America in disarray, an unstable country with a Senate where Republicans now retain the majority. The collaborative climate is toxic. It can be a big effort for Biden, 78.

There are three things that come out stronger than anything else the next day: The first is the idea that the world doesn’t have time for this. Trump’s victory means that for four new years the United States will remain irresponsible in international climate policy, where the world awaits the leadership of the great power. Four more years of Trumpism could be the famous downfall of the nascent catastrophe. The second is that Trump again gets significantly fewer votes than his opponent.
Until when can the United States accept an electoral system where the majority does not decide?
What happens? Here’s a recent podcast from American Politics and Dagsavisen:
The third is the confusion one feels, the surprise and shock that so many Americans, after these four turbulent and scandalous years, really want it to continue. This for us outsiders, indelible clown. That is why your United States is gaining ground and not the liberal United States that we think we know.
Regardless of the end result, it is inconceivable after his catastrophic handling of an ongoing and growing crown crisis and an economy that is struggling because of it, and after he has so actively and openly contributed to creating division.
Added to this is his personality and style, which for us in Europe is intolerable, and tens of thousands of documented lies. How is it possible that they still want it? What world do they live in?
The answer may be that many Americans live in a parallel, almost isolated reality, totally dominated by one news source, America’s largest television channel, Fox News.
A channel that in practice has been Trump’s propaganda channel.
In the last four years, the canal has been the largest. In the last month before the elections, the channel set audience records in the United States. They grow up with Trump and Trump with them. The local media has died, the alternative voice has been silenced in many places. Killed by market forces. In practice, Fox is left alone in much of the United States. The importance of media diversity is not just a phrase.

Results fluctuated sharply on election night due to the record number of early votes, to the great frustration of, deep down, the rather victorious Democrats. The optimism was, of course, excellent after Biden had long watched polls that gave a 90% chance of winning. Once again, the pollsters have not hit the mark.
Polls on Election Day show that many decided in the past week to run for incumbent president.
As in 2016, the number analyzers failed to capture Trump’s real strength. Last time it was the white working class that went unnoticed, now it was men of Latino descent who became an x factor. Trump won relatively in Florida after Cuban exiles in Miami gave him confidence. The Latino people have roots in a continent that has bad experiences with socialism, a label Trump has attached to Biden. For us, that is an absurd claim. But Trump’s strategy of blackening his opponent was successful again.
It was important not only to win against Trump. The hope was that Biden had a clear mandate. The president would be expelled from the White House by a clear margin so that the United States could put a clear and definitive end to his regime and begin the conciliatory path back. That dream is dead regardless of the end result.
The United States appears to be an even more divided nation than some polls have captured. The management of the crown and the subsequent economic recession have not had a massive impact. Now America’s fate can be decided rather by dangerously small margins.
The result of the elections has already been challenged in court.
The choice could be decided by lawyers and perhaps by a Supreme Court that Trump has integrated with his loyal conservatives. An election he should redeem has made things worse for Americans. Margins are sparks in America today.
One can only hope that there are no social unrest. Protests in today’s American climate can quickly degenerate. The president has generally been surprised not to take this into account.
Trump tweeted what many feared he would do: “They are trying to steal the election.” While the truth is that democracy works, the votes are counted. The country’s leader’s claim undermines a possible Biden victory and is an invitation to trouble and unrest.
The world can only hold its breath with emotion. But hope lives on, accountants can lead Biden’s path.
