I still think when you put Trump up against Kamala, he had much less in the sense of a cogent plan for the economy, and he constantly offered plans to destroy his enemies, hinting at a autocracy, whereas Kamala had good clear ideas about what she wanted to do to help middle America. She wasn’t negative. She persisted in saying she’d be the president for everyone. But…she is a woman. I truly think that her being a “woman” made her less attractive, serious, in some voters’ eyes. I heard men and even women say when interviewed, they’d vote for Trump, because of the economy, he was a business man. Did they not see he was a failed businessman, dishonest, crooked to the core. But somehow, the fact his opponent was female, and a woman of colour, to boot, made them decide to go with “Daddy Warbucks”. Despite his pitiful track record in both business, and as a human being. It made no difference. You can go on about not starting wars, etc., but most people wanted a white man. The US is still stuck in that thinking. Sad.
