Triumph of Diversity and Tribute to the Multicultural Pot in the USA

Yesterday, although tight, moderation triumphed, the smart vote that bets on the balance, after two years without a clear response, the Democratic Party received the vote of confidence from the electorate and Trump received a strong setback after two years in which the Republican Party had all the power in their hands, the strong polarization continues, and even increases, but this time the Americans have chosen not to give all the power to Trump in the Chambers, in realizing that promise of moderation, the advance of the Democratic Party is still a mystery that will be unveiled over time, since the strategy is still absent, cohesion is still missing in the Democratic Party version and a coherent narrative that allows them to unify and strengthen, yesterday was only shown that Trump he has not fully complied with his commitments to the American, he is running out of trust and the political capital deposited in him, the Americans have not voted fully convinced by the Democratic Party, Americans have voted disillusioned in large part of Trump, this is how the Democratic Party has regained the House of Representatives, despite retreating a bit in the Senate, and have managed to get 22 gubernatorial Democrats against 25 Republicans.

Diversity and youth could be the great winners of the midterm elections, and it is something that is certainly a cause for celebration, in recent trips to the US I have seen that marvelously cultural diversity flourishing in the neighboring northern country despite the nationalist and even racist rhetoric of its president, the multicultural melting pot does not stop and remains the basis of the wealth of our northern neighbors, we have seen the triumph of Jared Polis, in Colorado, the first openly gay elected governor, two women of Muslim origin in Michigan and Minnesota, Jahana Hayes, the first woman of African-American origin to be elected by Connecticut to the House of Representatives, two Texan women of Latino origin in the congress for the first time, Ayanna Pressley, first African-American woman in the congress by Massachusetts, two more elected women of Native American origin in Kansas and New Mexico, among others who seem to leave a clear signal, that in the face of Trump's intolerance, tolerance, youth and diversity, more than political ideology, are those that continue to make inroads in this country of migrants.

As part of the analysis we can point out those points that Trump attacked at the beginning, have been precisely those that have led to a partial defeat, racism, intolerance, misogyny, have found their nemesis in the diversity and strong push of the women candidates, who seem to define themselves as the true bet against Trump in 2020, the possibilities that a woman, or a candidate of diverse origin, seems to give signs of what could come in the future, a frontal clash that will define the future in a country with half the population fearful of that diversity, taking hold of its white roots, and another half of migrant origin that is taking ownership of the country, a narrative that the Democratic Party should embrace, analyze and seek to exploit in the next two years in order to definitively reverse the damage caused by Trump's nationalist populism.

Another important point is the youth, we will remember the Trump team predominantly made up of elderly officials, another signal to be taken into account in the midterm elections, it is a strong arrival of women mainly under 30 who have managed to capture the favor of a youth that may have felt displaced by many of Trump's policies, Bernie Sanders's "democratic socialism" is timidly peeled, as a figure that is not very well defined, but one that is coherent and open enough to break with a rancid nationalism and a harmful protectionism, they could be another asset for the battle that is coming in two more years, and that Trump should not take for granted.
