Echo chamber election: How viral can hate go in US presidential race? • FRANCE 24 English

Eight years ago, the mood on the campaign trail was so toxic that US First Lady Michelle Obama told voters “when they go low, we go high.” In 2024, with a campaign that’s too close to call, it feels even darker. To borrow the title of a famous book about the 1972 election, there is plenty of fear and loathing on the campaign trail in the homestretch of a tight US presidential race marred by character assassinations and racist tropes.

  1. The republicans are the party of the working class, when they want to deport people who do low paying labor and give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy? Is this dude from the Trump campaign???

  2. Fenrik is a joke he’s talking about inflation. Inflation is lower than many other countries. The economy is actually fine. The problem is that manufactures are just adding prices to the ordinary customer.
    Even the salaries has gone up but they need to go up even further.
    Talking about a business man for president he’s not even a successful businessman. Donald Trump was to a meeting with a couple of hundred of CEOs and they actually laughed at him. Anyone could be a businessman being a successful business man something different and when it comes to politics Donald Trump doesn’t know either domestic or foreign politics. He looks up to dictators and talk bad about his allies.
    And when you come pay Donald Trump and Harris, it’s not just about personalities. Donald Trump has had four years where he really didn’t solve that many problems of course he did something good. Even a blind chicken can find a corn….. Donald Trump is going to rule by project 2025 probably at least in the majority of decisions.
    The last four years if you look into the actual figures, Biden and Harris has done very well. Do they need to fix the border, yes they do.
    But the talk off departing immigrants by the millions of thousands or whatever how do they gonna take care of the agriculture in the US most of the people working there are illegal immigrants. I love the jobs in the service sector is done by immigrants if you deport them you can’t even get the US economy to function a lot of the jobs a lot of ordinary Americans don’t even want.
    The policies of Donald Trump if he has any maybe as I said project 2025 and other times it’s just a concept of policies it’s not even concrete we can go on and on and then end up with a personality who wants a wannabe dictator for a president apparently MAGA…. But that’s not all of US hopefully.

  3. In fact, it was primarily American media, not European, that wrote about racist statements. But Trump supporters immediately begin to accuse Europeans of condescension. And Americans call each other fascists, not Europeans call Americans fascists. What nonsense! It seems that Trump supporters simply cannot hear and listen to anyone except themselves.
    Thanks to the journalists of France 24 for their restraint and professionalism!

  4. It might help if you had adults discuss this, instead of ill mannered agenda driven fist puppets.

    Maturity seems rather scarce in the corporate media sector
