A blast of noxious gas in the form of pathological narcissism emanates from the re-election of Trump to blanket the world.
The outcome of the 2024 American presidential election has been a referendum on the Democrats’blank” rel=”noopener”>hubristic and disingenuous kowtowing to the wealthy and corporations — most egregiously,blank” rel=”noopener”>Big Crypto — while still maintaining that they were the party for the working class.

The Democrats did themselves no favor by permitting decrepit Biden to stay in the race as long as he did, whether by delusion or design to gaslight the public on his viability, which effectively sabotaged Kamala Harris with a relatively short runway for campaigning, just three months, as opposed to Obama’s nearly two years.
Further, the Democrats refused to hold a fair contest in an open primary.

Kamala’s running mate, Tim Waltz, under his breath, apologized for excessive texting for campaign contributions in a post-election concession speech in his home state of Minnesota.

The stench of wokeism did not fade in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death and the “defund the police” movement.
