No,the Jewish lobby always wins no matter who gets elected.Senate, Congress House, all under control of Trump. Means less power of Jewish lobby.
With Trump its either this or that in foreign politics,no inbetweens.What is the general view in Turkiye about Trump's victory?
In India, this is seen as broadly beneficial.
populism and demagoguery of any kind is always popular with lower-educated and badly-educated people as they have magical thinking about resolving of problems which leads to them always looking for heroes which can go solve their problems as they put their brains on flow. so obviously in a country which votes for Erdogan, and is dominated by messianic thinking of all kind, and cults of leadership Trump will be popular.With Trump its either this or that in foreign politics,no inbetweens.
So,most Turks are pro Trump.
So,you are saying that the educated Turks wouldnt want Trump as the US president?populism and demagoguery of any kind is always popular with lower-educated and badly-educated people as they have magical thinking about resolving of problems which leads to them always looking for heroes which can go solve their problems as they put their brains on flow. so obviously in a country which votes for Erdogan, and is dominated by messianic thinking of all kind, and cults of leadership Trump will be popular.
You are right, our difference is semantic; by education I do not mean diplomas and graduation from a university. A good high-school education (or even a middle-school one; all you need is one good teacher) which instills naturalism to replace any magical thinking that a person might have will beat any university diploma. Yeah I think Trump is better choice for us.So,you are saying that the educated Turks wouldnt want Trump as the US president?
You seem to forget that in a patriarchal society like ours it doesnt matter if you are a professor or have a PHD,well known scientist,judge or whatever highest education you had you always vote for the family's choice.
That is our problem,we learn only to pass the exam to get the diploma,nothing more.
I experienced it in real life.
But no matter what,Trump is the better choice for our country(to me).
Only 1% will change its worldview thanks to that teacher(only 1 % of teachers are individual thinkers) which is ridiculously low.You are right, our difference is semantic; by education I do not mean diplomas and graduation from a university.

I don't think that; it's quite easy to teach critical thinking skills, media literacy skills, basics of anthropology and evolution, and the idiosyncrasy of the scientific method and naturalism compared to other modes of thinking.Only 1% will change its worldview thanks to that teacher(only 1 % of teachers are individual thinkers) which is ridiculously low.
Family indoctrination/pressure always wins.
Our society can only change by force or comfort(comfortable life situation)and since that will never happen in our lifetime,we should just forget it.
We are not a nation of thinkers,we cant be.

You talk about enlighten people.
you're boxing with shadows.Oh , insufferable arrogance of pseudo intellectuals and self styled good doers.
Personally, I don't care either way and if I am American citizen, I wouldn't vote but the audacity to imply that dumb people are enffacuated by the mystic of Trump and that in itself is regresive is mind boggling.. 75% whiite American men voted for Trump and those are the people who basically pau for all this shit show. 90% of black women voted for Kamala, let's not pretend, I know this is extremely Woke forum, but that's absolutely useless segment of the population. If it will relive your " progressive" sentiments, than your Jew brothers voted 78% for Kamala.
What ? You have a problem with the patriarchal out look? I think that women shouldn't have the right to vote whatever.
No normal person can let that a f g dance naked in front of his child and pay security money to mugging scumbag.
That's the basic logic or maybe it is educational progress to question the most basic biological realities.
Haha, what arrogance one must posses to to see this through prism of education. Oh yes , how did they say in 1917 in Russia? Scientific Marxism, by 1934 1,5 million people were cannibalised due to Educational superiority, no?
Give me a break, and get off your high horse. Will you?
Also as a foreigner without direct link with USA ,I think a old white man is much suitable for USA imagine.With Trump its either this or that in foreign politics,no inbetweens.
So,most Turks are pro Trump.
