# The disaster of the Trump presidency is complete.
The pandemic is out of control. Parliament was ransacked. A woman was killed there. The country is divided. The Grand Old Party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, is intellectually ruined. The prestige of the United States on the international stage is destroyed.
Trump was never the anti-politician reformist he claimed to be. He arrived with no other plan than the erasure of Obama's accomplishments, with no political thought other than insult.
# He has always been underqualified for the job.
And it has been publicized by tens of millions of Americans who are politically undereducated or angry with the system.
# It was the reign of ignorance, of stupidity, of deception.
But it was no accident. Trump is a result.
The result of a loss of contact between the elites and the ordinary people of which the Democrats are also the authors.
The result of a model that has created some of the worst economic inequalities in the world.
The result of a self-defeating political culture rotten by guns and racism, hostile to social investment, which makes health care and education a luxury.
And Trump is also the result of the extraordinary cowardice of elected Republicans who applauded the beast, renouncing all principle, to retain their seat.
# This announced politico-social failure was amplified by social medias, disseminators of hatred and unifier of lunatics.
Biden will do better because it’s impossible to do worse. But the repair will take a long time and some damage will be irreversible.
# The United States "leader of the free world" is over.
# This chapter of history is closed.
