By electing Donald Trump again, the American electorate has made a bad decision, one that will expose our country to unreasonable risks in areas from foreign policy to public health. Fiscal policy will get worsebudget deficits will become even larger, keeping interest rates high, and programs that provide health care to the poor and elderly are likely to be trimmed back to finance tax cuts for rich people. Abortion rights are likely to be further restricted by a hostile administration that uses the powers of the FDA and the Department of Justice to make abortion harder to provide. And well have another four years under Trumps exhausting, mercurial, and divisive leadership, making our politics nastier and stupider. I wish the election had gone the other way. I am annoyed. That said, when Trump won eight years ago, I was much more than annoyed. I was really upset and shocked. This time is different, because Americans have been through this before, and I expect well get through it again. But its also different because theres a big part of me that feels Democrats deserved to lose this election, even if Trump did not deserve to win it. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/11/election-2024-liberal- loss/680591/
