Brazil, November 6, 2024.
At this time of the afternoon in Brazil on November 6, 2024, almost all countries in the world have already recognized Donald Trump’s victory for President of the Republic of the United States of America in the Electoral College. And I often hear or read many analyses, some of which lead one to believe that the frustrated enthusiasm of Brazilians with Kamala Harris’ candidacy would be, for example, as Barack Obama argued, simply the distrust of black male voters.
The gender issue does not explain everything. Believing that because the candidate is a woman, she seems better and more exciting to us, since there has never been a female President of the United States, is true, not exactly the perfect explanation. Many young American university students and Lebanese or Palestinian immigrants have become very suspicious of Kamala Harris’s policies regarding the current conflicts in Israel.
This was certainly the point, Kamala Harris and her vice president’s distrust of Middle East policies, because just like in Brazil, there is already a huge contingent of immigrants and opinion makers from this conflict-ridden region. For example, Rede Globo did not fail to show Dearborn, Michigan, a former capital of the automobile industry that has been completely abandoned, and is now inhabited by Lebanese and Palestinians who were reluctant to believe in Kamala Harris. Devoted to the delights of Arab food there, like those I met in São Paulo, they were reluctant to give their votes to either side.
For those who watched the Democratic Convention that elected Kamala Harris, this was the high point of what was happening outside the United Arena in Chicago, while she and many other women gave speeches. Many men and women, white and black, mainly young, questioned her Middle East policy. It turns out that certain girls’ parties make everyone so blind that the next day we wake up like this. And this is the fact, John the Evangelist, who wrote Revelation, and has a church in front of the White House, which was set on fire in the wake of the events of George Floyd’s death, and visited by Donald Trump shortly after, perhaps today reminds me of Bob Marley.
