What Trump's victory could mean and what Kamala Harris' defeat could prevent

I start writing these lines at 4:08 CET. Right now everything points to Donald Trump being the US president again.

Trump on the Ukraine, Israel and abortion issues

As for the winner, I have already expressed my disagreements with Trump on such important issues as abortion, Ukraine and Israel. During his first term, he was a president who excited me, but for some time now I have been hearing things from him that increasingly disillusion me. I think his conservative messages are very good, but it is regrettable to see his messages pretending to have some kind of magic wand to resolve the war in Ukraine, but without clearly explaining what his formula will consist of to end this invasion, which invites us to fear the worst: a concession to Russia.

Once he takes office again, I would hope that Trump will have more common sense than he has shown during the campaign and that he will not forget that European peace and security are at stake in Ukraine against a bully like Putin. The same can be said about Israel and its fight against Islamist terrorism from Hamas and Hezbollah. As president, Trump will have a moral duty not to encourage the enemies of the West as Biden already did with his weakness. If he encourages them, what he will be doing in the medium or long term is threatening the security of the United States.

Trump's recent equidistance on the abortion issue is by far the position that disappoints me the most. During his first term, he was a clearly pro-life president and did remarkable things in this regard, and it would be a shame if his second term were marred by the idea that on this issue one can satisfy the defenders of the culture of life and the promoters of the culture of death equally. No, one cannot, Mr. Trump. I hope that the pro-life movement in the US will put pressure so that Trump's new term is not wasted time in the defense of life.

US rids itself of Kamala Harris' leftist agenda

As for the Democratic candidate, I am glad that Kamala Harris will not have the opportunity to implement her leftist program, which would have degraded the United States as much as the socialist Pedro Sánchez is degrading the political situation in Spain. Harris' campaign has been ridiculous, showing herself unable to answer concrete questions about her plans and responding with a speech that always referred to her status as the daughter of a middle-class family, despite coming from an upper-class family.

Even more ridiculous has been the Democratic Party's attempt to turn Harris's gender or race into an incentive to attract voters. I don't understand how a party can stoop so low. Harris has been an almost invisible vice president during Biden's term, she has promised things that she refused to do for four years, and when it comes to asking for votes she expects the American people to elect her based on her sex and skin color, as if being a man and white-skinned were some kind of handicap for the American left.

Of course, Harris's support for the culture of death and the most radical ideological policies of the left (gender ideology, transgenderism, radical environmentalism) has surely mobilized more voters in favor of Trump, even if it were as a lesser evil. Of course, it would be worse to have a pro-abortion like Harris in the White House than an equidistant one like Trump. We will see what happens next and if the things that were said during the electoral campaign are maintained from now on. I do not know if this article will bother some, but I am not worried either. My commitment is to the cause of freedom, life, goodness and truth, and not to a politician who changes his speech.

P.S. 7:37 CET: the Trump campaign office declares him the winner of the election.
