Trump also warned: he would put his political enemies in jail and, if necessary, he would be a “dictator for a day”.

Since the release of his results, in the early hours of Tuesday and Wednesday, US political analysts have noted that, despite his aberrations, Trump showed that he was not an outlier in the 2016 election. of disinformation, he now won with a mass movement, not with a campaign of political proposals.

He used the economic situation and promised better days for millions of Americans abandoned across the country. To the surprise of the progressive wings, Trump managed to attract a portion of the votes of Latinos and African Americans, traditional Democratic voters.

For Senator Bernie Sanders, there is no reason for Harris’s party to be surprised by the abandonment of its working-class electorate. For him, it was the party that distanced itself from its base. The ballot boxes were the consequences of this.

Sanders was not the only one to report that the king was naked. His statement reopened the debate in the US about the role of political movements and their relationship with workers. Social movements and activists also exchanged accusations, while the autopsy of the defeat was carried out.

Nothing, however, is exactly new. In the late 1990s, Richard Rorty found that, “union members and unorganized unskilled workers will realize, sooner or later, that the government is not even trying to stop wages from sinking or jobs from being exported.” .
