Politics isn’t the same anymore.

When I was a kid, U.S. election day was a big deal, the day the leader of the world would be chosen, no less. But nowadays, it doesn’t feel that way. Now it feels like they’re just picking someone to turn off the lights before they shut down.

Both Trump and Kamala are awful politicians. Trump is simply dumb, and Kamala doesn’t seem aware that life exists outside the scripts. Neither of them feels like a world leader, and they don’t even talk about politics. It feels like politics didn’t even matter in this election.

I don’t live in the U.S., so my interest is purely geopolitical, and I’m more interested in studying the parties than the candidates themselves.

Americans probably know it by now, but they chose between imperialism or fascism, or rather fascism and imperialism, blue capitalism or red capitalism, blue syringes or red syringes.

Even so, I’m glad Trump won the election. I feel safer, and I’ll explain why. I don’t care about him personally, but I do care about his party. Unlike Democratic capitalism, Republican capitalism is based on industry: you earn as much as you produce. Democrats, on the other hand, rely on financial capitalism: you earn as much as you invest. It doesn’t matter what you invest in as long as it makes money—and if that means fueling conflicts around the world, so be it, because guess who’s investing in weapons companies?

With Trump as president, I feel safe because, at worst, his stupidity might just lead to the final collapse of the U.S. He even talked about imposing tariffs of 25% to 200% on Mexico… with how dependent the U.S. is on Mexico! But if Kamala had become president, I’d genuinely be afraid.

If she were president and given a script saying World War III is the best economic opportunity to “protect American individual freedoms,” and that it would bring a 15% return for investors, she’d go for it without a second thought.

These elections were disappointing, but now I’m studying BRICS, and oh baby, that’s geopolitics on another level. Just last year, the BRICS GDP surpassed that of the G7.
