This US election cycle has been a whirlwind that has highlighted both the deep divisions in America, as well as a large underground consensus that has resulted in Donald Trump’s stunning re-election.
Throughout the presidential election campaign, there was a considerable amount of rhetoric from the Left which assumed that anyone who was pro-Trump was a fascist racist – the accusation of Nazi was used liberally – who hated women, minorities and trans people.
This rhetoric was promoted by the Harris campaign, following on from rhetoric used by the Biden administration, and some argue it may have played a part in encouraging the assassination attempts on Trump.
