For my British and European friends who are "shocked" and "surprised", here are 10 reasons you didn't see this coming.
Read this short post and then read the replies from our American friends who will confirm what I'm saying.
1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage.
2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it.
3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same.
4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it.
5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border.
6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist.
7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it.
8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do.
9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.
10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.
Make the crossing less attractive. By nurturing growth and collaboration. The world is richer than ever before, yet we've never been this egoistic. The world is as productive as ever before, yet we fail to promote a win-win mindset.
@dudagarbi@CBF_Futebol Suárez teria nos feito campeões, se não tivéssemos a defesa mais vazada dentre os não-rebaixados. 🇧🇼 Mais um vice pra história do RS nos pontos corridos.

@elonmusk -> If you want to promote public discussions in Twitter, brainstorm a "hear, hear" button, or a "I second that" button.
Also, copy the LinkedIn "Impressions" information. It might mitigate some of the feeling of unimportant I've been reading in this thread.
@elonmusk Hi @elonmusk, I'm only indulging because you asked, and you deserve it for your investment on this. Those of us who quietly read believe there is too much noise already in our lives and our society. People try to find something to say, without listening enough to what is said. ->
Recently, ModuleWorks was at Autodesk University 2022 in New Orleans.🌟
