The world is in Chaos right now because of the following players on the board. There is so much disinformation out there, and it seems like people are myopically thinking about their own interest without looking at the bigger picture. Democracy and Liberalism are fighting Authoritarians and Conservatism, and after the lastest election of 2024, it looks as though Authoritarianism and Conservatism have used Fear and Anger about change to take more power. Democracy and Liberalism is a threat to those who look to oppress the people and sow chaos. Authoritarian Conservatives are using this Fear and economic hardship to control people and present a [ I can save you from everything strongman ] solution when in fact, they will create more chaos and more economic hardship. Authoritarian regimes seldom bring about more freedoms. They tend to stifle economic growth.
Putin
This dictator wants to throw the world into chaos and get those sympathetic to Authoritarians into positions of power throughout the world to undermine the foundations of Democracy. Raise price of oil and bitcoin because those are his main assets.
Trump
Wants Power, Money, and Retribution, and get out of Jail free card. Using disinformation and lies and us/them strategy no matter if it destroys our Democracy and puts an Empire in its place where freedoms will be at the whim of an Authoritarian instead of the people. Allied with Putin and Saudi Arabia to raise oil price and lower buying power of US Dollar, and raising value of Bitcoin.
Elon Musk
His primary goal is to go to Mars and grow his influence over tech implementation. Also chaos for dollar raises his Bitcoin assets. Also, he had Trans child he did not want to transition, so Anger probably involved in his decision making.
Joe Biden
He is Defending the United States of America and protecting Democracy and Basic Decency. He is aiding Ukraine and Taiwan to fight Putin on an actual war front. He is also having to fight for Democracy and Decency in the hearts and minds of the American people.
Republicans ( Religious ones who are ignoring complete lack of Basic Decency in Trump Character )
Cowtowing to Trump to make the United States a Theocratic Authoritarian Government that doesn't allow gays, trans, and forces 10 commandments back into schools. This brand of Christianity is more the Old Testament and less the Jesus version. The Republican Politicians are primarily swayed by this electorate it seems.
Republicans ( Lower My Taxes + Let it Burn crowd )
Decency and Democracy matter much less to these individuals. They are taking a I got mine jack approach to treating their fellow man. The Republican Politicians are primarily swayed by this electorate as well.
Republicans and Democrats Hurting economically ( who say Let it Burn crowd )
I think this group of the electorate played the largest role in getting Trump into power. Lower wages and high price for goods have these guys wanting the Joker to take over. They blame illegal immigrants and China for their woes. They blame the government instead of corporate greed. They think government efficiency is the reason companies have moved out of Rural America to cheaper overseas labor. The non-college degree populace aren't benefiting as much from the new Knowledge Economy as those in Urban and Sub-Urban cities. Take a drive down route 66 and I-69 or across I-10 or I-40, and just glance at the state of Rural Cities not immediately adjacent to Major Cities, and you will see why those people believe they are being left behind economically.
Republicans and Democrats Fearing Change ( see trump as return to old )
This group doesn't like any fluidity in their Gender or Sexuality and fear homosexuality. Also, they believe break down of family unit is cause of all the worlds problems right now. They blame the government instead of corporate greed.
Democrats who supported Harris ( 50% of the United States' Population )
Recognizes trump as a snake oil salesman who stokes fear and takes advantage of an attempted assassination. Thinks Massive Deportation of hard working individuals and their families would reduce economic stability. Thinks high Tariffs on other countries would throw economy into tail spin of a recession or worse another Great Depression. Thinks Trump moving the United States away from a Constitutional Democracy into an Authoritarian Theocracy would erode individual Freedom and cause instability. Ashamed that the electorate chose someone who says they grab women by the pussy because he is rich and they would let him over an accomplished intelligent woman promoting small business and common sense.
