Or the Women for Trump supporters, or the evangelical movements who are okay with a convicted felon acknowledged by many of his own supporters as a liar — but “authentic anyway”, with a track record that on its own will turbocharge the MeToo movement, whose appointed Republican justices stacked on the Supreme Court rolled back the landmark Roe versus Wade abortion rights judgment made 50 years ago.
We spiral towards the final week of the US presidential election as a few communities in rural Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina decide the fate of the world. The electoral college votes of these seven swing states will determine who sits in the White House come January.
And it is sobering to know that it will be the uncommitted splinter of the Democrat Left who are upset with Joe Biden’s policies on the Palestinians — whose non-aligned vote for a third-party candidate — and even others who have crossed over into “Arabs for Trump” could tip Michigan over to Republican Red. That Donald Trump, as the then president, supported Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and ordered the US embassy to move there, gaining this vote is deeply ironic.
