The Unelectable Donald Trump: A Political Analysis
Written on
Chapter 1: The Illusion of Electability
The 2016 election remains a perplexing anomaly—a blend of incompetence, misogyny, and public indifference that resulted in the election of arguably the worst president in U.S. history.

Section 1.1: Democrats and Superstitions
It’s surprising to see how superstitious the Democratic Party can be. This is the faction that often positions itself against magical thinking and champions the scientific method. Yet, one declaration that Donald J. Trump stands no chance of winning the 2024 election sends them into a frenzy. They might insist you perform a series of rituals—step outside, spin thrice, toss salt, and then recant your statement. They genuinely mean it; they want you to go through with it.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth they’d rather not confront: Donald Trump is unequivocally unelectable. He’s widely disliked, embroiled in legal issues, and embodies incompetence. Despite the fervor of his online supporters discussing everything from conspiracies to vaccines, he will not win the presidency.
Section 1.2: The Republican Party’s Dilemma
The Republican Party is in such disarray that Trump is likely to be their nominee, irrespective of other candidates. Many within the party hesitate to challenge him, fearing backlash from his committed base. This faction has grown significant enough to secure a plurality during the nomination phase.
Statistically speaking, while one could argue he has a chance if nominated—being one of two candidates on the ballot—it's minimal.
Chapter 2: The 2016 Landscape
In 2016, America was emerging from eight years of relative tranquility under Barack Obama, yet the Republican Party was acting as if they had been submerged in despair. For eight years, they were the opposition, unable to govern effectively but free to obstruct. They became the party of grievances without solutions, failing to provide a viable alternative to the Affordable Care Act that they had denounced for years.
The roster of candidates that year included prominent figures like Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and others, each vying to lead a party eager to reclaim its past glory.

Section 2.1: The Rise of Trump
Then, unexpectedly, Trump emerged—a reality TV personality who made headlines by disparaging immigrants and claiming he would be the next president. Despite the narrative suggesting his success stems from talent or luck, the truth is stark: he has often failed, losing more than he has gained. He is neither a competent negotiator nor an astute businessman.
He embodies the worst traits of a bully, surviving primarily through bluster and legal threats. The Republican Party, having laid the groundwork for someone like Trump, found itself wholly unprepared for the consequences of its creation.

Section 2.2: The DeSantis Conundrum
Ron DeSantis, while attempting to emulate Trump's appeal without the accompanying scandals, has instead adopted the most negative aspects of Trump's persona. Lacking charisma or charm, he remains a mere shadow, desperate for attention.
Ultimately, neither candidate demonstrates the capacity for empathy or change, making it unlikely they could pivot to a successful strategy. Their identities are entrenched, and unfortunately, they are not well-regarded by a majority of the electorate.
Conclusion: A Call to Action
Now is not the time for complacency. Every citizen must participate in upcoming elections to avoid dire consequences. The political left must rise to the occasion, proving they are the party of ideas and solutions. It’s essential to regain momentum and actively engage in the political discourse.
It's time to take a stand.
