America was always far more of a kleptocracy than a 'democracy' in my lifetime. The democrats claiming that they are a 'democracy' have always been lying to the American people. The key beneficiaries of Trump's victory will be the billionaires and corporate interest groups that funded Trump's campaign (agriculture, auto, oil & gas, Elon Musk, any industry that Trump places tarriffs, etc) and the bottom 99% peons will get the scraps like lower gas prices and cheaper fast food..
The bottom 99% of the population always loses, every year. This is why living standards (psychological + material) has either stagnated or massively declined in my lifetime and American economic & military power has massively shrank relative to the rest of the world. It was better to be born a boomer/gen x than a millennial or gen z-er. My parents' generation had a much better life than the young people today. Far better.
