I offered some thoughts on why Trump won, and the Democrats lost in the US presidential election yesterday. The first is that I do not think that the USA voted for populist fascism. There were also those who voted for Trump thinking he has a messianic role. I do, however, think that the fanatics are a decided, whilst vocal, minority of those who voted for Trump. People did not vote for Harris because - fear of Trump apart - she gave them no reason to do so.
