Smith's federal criminal cases against Trump were upended by the election, as the Justice Department's longstanding policy is that sitting presidents can't be charged with crimes.
Harris had some policies, but not a real underlying message. She could have made a message like ‘bring back the American dream’ and that might have gotten her a win. Obama’s message was ‘yes we can’. Trump’s message is ‘make America great again’. You need a theme message like that, if you only talk positions you get lost in the noise of our shitty media.
If she was actually using that message, which I never heard, no wonder she lost.
People don’t want the absence of something, they want radical change. They want a country that works for the middle class rather than just for the 1%.
That’s why Obama’s message resonated. And that’s why Trump’s message resonates. He at least acknowledges that shit’s broken and he promises to fix it. He may be the wrong person to fix it and he may have no interest in fixing it, but his message at least acknowledges that there is a serious problem.

“We’re not going back” was her message according to that philosophy.

I don’t know what to tell you dude. I’m just a foreigner and I heard that message over and over. It was as clear as day for me.
However, message or no, the US have put a convicted felon in charge of the country. I’m gobsmacked by that.
