Progressives and liberals\u00a0were confident enough to believe that with nearly\u00a0100 million ballots given in before election day, Americans\u00a0had\u00a0already cast an unprecedented spectacle of rejection of everything that may even mildly resemble \u2018conservative values.\u2019 They were convinced that America\u00a0had\u00a0made its choice already. For them, I must assume, the election was just an act of formality. The battle was basically won already.<\/h5>\n<h5>But then just a few hours later, it became clear that the pollsters failed them completely once again. The \u2018Trumpsters\u2019 refused to evaporate.\u00a0They grew substantially\u00a0and even expanded demographically into some \u2018unexpected\u2019\u00a0electoral territories\u00a0traditionally associated with Democratic politics.<\/h5>\n<h5>The clear meaning of the election is that America, like most other Western states, is divided in the middle into two opposing societies that have very little in common.\u00a0 Far more worrying is the clear fact that the two sides of the divide\u00a0cannot\u00a0tolerate each other.<\/h5>\n<h5>As much as the Left, Progressives and Liberals are convinced by\u00a0the absolute validity\u00a0of their way of thinking, to the point that they insist to\u00a0dictate them by authoritarian\u00a0and tyrannical measures, at least as many people do not buy, follow and even reject those values.\u00a0 \u00a0Many\u00a0Americans do not accept the identiterian shift. Many Americans are not convinced at all that gender\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0binary. I assume that most\u00a0disappointing and worrying for the DNC\u00a0is the fact that\u00a0members of\u00a0\u2018diverse minorities\u2019 as the Democrats call them, have switched sides. They became vocal Trump supporters.<\/h5>\n<h5 align=\"center\"><strong>Watch a Cuban fusion band sings \u201cI will Vote for Donald Trump\u201d <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6HpwNRSE4nM\"><strong>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6HpwNRSE4nM<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6HpwNRSE4nM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/h5>\n<h5>This is very easy to explain.\u00a0The\u00a0Democratic Party\u00a0offers Blacks, Gays, Latinos and so called\u00a0\u2018diverse minorities\u2019 to be marginalized forever in an amalgam of \u2018Others United\u2019. \u00a0The\u00a0GOP is offering those people an immediate integration as ordinary people into the American realm. All you need to do is get yourself a red Trump baseball cap and join your next local Trump rally. It is this most basic existential togetherness that was so vivid within the Left revolutionary discourse, but only materialized\u00a0into a populist sustained tsunami of political resistance within the contexts of right-wing populist politics.<\/h5>\n<h5>In the upside-down world in which we live. The Republican party has become the party of the American working-class people. People who are defined by their adherence to family values, the church, hard work and see themselves as the \u2018Americans.\u2019 \u00a0The Democratic party that claimed to be the voice of those working people, has gradually morphed into an urban identiatrian conglomerate.\u00a0 A collective of\u00a0\u2018as a\u2019\u00a0people: humans who insist to identify with their biology:\u00a0 \u2018as a Woman,\u2019 \u2018as a Gay,\u2019 \u2018as a Trans,\u2019 \u2018as a Black,\u2019 \u2018as a Jew.\u2019<\/h5>\n<h5>In the upside down world in which we live, the Left ended up adopting the most embarrassing and problematic Hitlerian ideological aspect: Unlike Italian fascism that adhered to the concept of \u2018socialism of the Italian\u00a0people,\u2019\u00a0or early Nazism that pushed for the idea of \u2018equality of German speaking people,\u2019 Hitler insisted upon \u2018socialism of one race.\u2019\u00a0Hitler believed\u00a0that people\u2019s politics is intrinsic to their biology. As opposed to traditional inclusive Left thinking that was class oriented,\u00a0the\u00a0contemporary Left pushes people to identify politically on biological terms: \u2018as a woman,\u2019 \u2018as a black,\u2019 \u2018as a gay,\u2019 \u2018as a trans\u2019 etc. The GOP on the other hand, is coming closer\u00a0and closer to universal class politics.<\/h5>\n<h5>On\u00a0the morning of the 3rd\u00a0of November, the liberal press was ready to announce that the \u2018as a\u2019\u00a0philosophy had won. But as things stand right now, this \u00a0battle between the\u00a0\u2018as a\u2019\u00a0people \u00a0and the \u2018Americans\u2019 may escalate into a real violent conflict as there is no one in America or anywhere else\u00a0who knows how to unite the people into a simple concept of peoplehood. Again, this is hardly an American phenomenon. The exact same division and the lack of a political unifying prospect is currently apparent in every Western State.<\/h5>\n<h5>On\u00a0Thursday, Wall\u00a0Street rose substantially. Naturally, many commentators believed that our oligarchs and financial tycoons were excited by Biden\u2019s likeliness to win the American election. But it may also be possible that Wall Street\u00a0was way\u00a0more thrilled by the prospect of a possible civil war. When people fight each other, capitalism, mammonism and usury can be celebrated mercilessly and boundlessly. This is exactly what Wall Street is after.<\/h5>\n<h5>It may as well be possible that in the global universe in which we live, in a world where all existential concerns reintroduced themselves as \u2018global threats\u2019 to do\u00a0with: global warming, global financial turmoil, global pandemics etc., a state of bitter civil war is exactly where global capitalism wants us the people to be. Democracy and the fantasy of political choice, as such, are just a camouflage. It is there to convey the image that the current chaos is merely our own choice or fault.<\/h5>\n<h5>To understand ID politics and its disastrous impact on contemporary society read<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Being-Time-Post-Political-Gilad-Atzmon\/dp\/191107220X\"> Being in Time<\/a><\/span><\/h5>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Thanks for supporting Gilad&#8217;s battle for truth and justice.<\/h1>\n<h5>My battle for truth involves a serious commitment and some substantial expenses.
