Commentary: Enough is enough – a reckoning with the culture warriors
Most people are fed up with the rhetoric of division and constant agitation. This is the central lesson from the Trump debacle in the US. And it has consequences for Europe.
The article discusses the aftermath of the US midterm elections, with Donald Trump's supporters seeing his potential 2024 re-election as a triumph over political correctness and leftist elites, while his opponents view his congressional losses as the end of the America-first era. Both perspectives reflect the uncertainty and confusion caused by societal upheavals, including wars in the Gulf and Ukraine, social tensions, and growing anxiety about the future.
The author notes that the transformation underway will continue, but its outcome is unknown. The US midterm elections have sparked a sense of relief among Trump's opponents and a desire for change in Europe.
