There once was a country called United States of America (USA). Today, the people of this country left the common ground of reason and voted for an authoritarian, racist and sexist snob who doesn’t respect anything else but his own ego. There was nothing surprising about Trump 2.0, the people of the U.S. had the chance to consider his first presidency: chaotic, self-centered and weird. They had four years to reflect his unmistakably clear attempt to overcome the results of the presidential election at the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021.
