For the shareholder of the Narbonnais Racing club, based in California for 30 years, “the male electorate, particularly Hispanics, was decisive in the pivotal states”.
This November 6, Philippe Marco, this Cuxanese living in California, looks back on last night: “We stopped watching television at 9 p.m. because it was clear that after the victory in North Carolina, we were heading back into 4 years of Trumpism. We are sad to see the way Americans voted because it “There is nothing about Trump that represents the country of which I have taken steps to become a citizen.” The man, who is also the brother of Xavier, president of the Narbonnais Racing club, and shareholder, continues: “The translators in France do not realize how bad a person Trump really is and that he does not correspond in any way to the principles which until recent years had allowed the USA to have a unique place in the world.” The Audois, installed for 30 years, is disappointed: “The economic situation, despite its improvement, was the main factor in the election with complete blindness to Trump's catastrophic management of the pandemic and it would seem that the male electorate, particularly Hispanics, was decisive in the swing states, which would seem to indicate that once again the country did not want a woman at its head. I cannot understand.
Philippe Marco insists: “In California, we are really in shock, sad and worried about the future. There is a change in American society towards politics that I can't understand. I can't help but think that the American democracy is in danger and I do not see this morning what the counter-powers could be to avoid 4 very complicated years. Sadness and fears for US democracy and the global democratic balance are really the predominant feelings this morning. And to conclude: “Let’s hope my pessimism is exaggerated.”
