It is already quite clear on an American electoral map that the colors indicate that Joe Biden won in blue and those who voted for Donald Trump in red. The west coast is blue, the northeastern United States too, in the middle lies a red Trump land with some isolated blue spots.
This contrast becomes even stronger if all the counties, roughly the municipal boundaries, have the same color. So the American map will be very, very red, even in a state like Oregon that otherwise voted for Joe Biden.
Blue spots surrounded by a red sea
The visible blue dots are the largest cities. Like Portland in Oregon, or Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinatti in Ohio. Blue spots surrounded by a red sea.
It was that way even long before Donald Trump became president, but the map has turned even redder.
And while it looks like the presidential election will end the way Democrats and metropolitan residents wanted, with Biden winning, it didn’t end the way they hoped. And probably deep down he believed. With a winner by elimination.
Surely 2016 could be explained with so many coincidences. We had a businessman, a reality star, and a national celebrity who challenged the establishment and an entrenched political system with a campaign unlike any other.
Addressed by message
That message appealed to millions and millions of Americans. I found in Donald Trump a person who spoke like them. Those who prioritized issues and spoke brutally about issues that were close to their hearts, such as immigration.
And then we had everything else. The unpopular Hillary Clinton. A campaign of Russian influence. The narrow margin of victory. Democrats had many ways of explaining Trump’s 2016 victory as a rare event.
It is no longer possible to have that explanation. Because no, the voters who sent Donald Trump to the White House did not abandon him. This despite the fact that they now knew exactly which type they were voting for.
President Trump has violated almost every standard that applies to how a US president should behave. One question voters had to answer in this election was, therefore, whether they thought this was okay.
Yes resounding about half
And the answer has been a resounding yes, from about half of the United States. Given that Donald Trump will likely lose the election, however, he increased the number of voters by more than 6.7 million. No Republican presidential candidate has garnered more votes, at least 69.6 million.
And the ditch that once existed between the country and the metropolis, between the small town and the big city, has opened into a ravine in the United States. In cities like Philadelphia, where this election is decided, Biden wins by margins of up to 75, sometimes 80 percent.
In the same way, Trump wins by those margins in the small towns that we have seen portrayed in so many Hollywood movies. And it is still primarily white American voters who support the 45th President of the United States, but Trump has also increased the support of some Latino voters.
The differences are repeated
In the large electoral college the AP held with 110,000 voters, 86 percent of Trump’s voters were white. They live in another world, both literally and mentally from the Biden voters.
While four out of ten Trump voters opposed wearing a face mask outdoors, only five percent of Biden voters did.
And while a whopping 96 percent of Biden voters say that racism is a very or fairly serious problem in the United States, 56 percent of Trump voters answered the same.
And the differences are repeated in one subject after another. But probably nowhere is it greater than in the attitude of the person Donald J. Trump.
The Republicans, who have effectively become Trump’s party, also appear to be heading for greater than expected electoral success in Congress, although they will not regain control of the House of Representatives. Instead, it is the left wing of the Democratic Party that has suffered setbacks.
So yes, most indications point to the next president of the United States being Joe Biden. But Trump supporters are going nowhere and they like the more nationalistic America that the country’s 45th president is heading toward.
If Trump doesn’t continue to lead them, then there is a possibility that other America First politicians will build on that message. In any case, this is no longer George Bush’s party.
