#MuskPays, #TrumpLoses: What the Midterms Mean for #Europe
1/2
Dear Europeans,
@europe @Bundesregierung

Even the richest man in the world couldn’t buy the election. Elon Musk is said to have invested more than 400 million dollars in the Republicans’ campaign. But the corruption under Trump is too great, the cost of living too high, the trade wars too expensive. Even in historically conservative states, Trump’s candidates came away empty-handed. The midterms are a resounding slap in the face for the US government and its Silicon Valley backers.

Following the elections in Hungary, Serbia and Brazil, the midterms show once again: it’s not money that decides who governs, but the voters. Anger at corrupt right-wing populists mobilizes people and drives change. That gives hope.

    Anger at corrupt right-wing populists mobilizes people and drives change.

    Which only means they need to shift focus and spend even more to guide the voters anger into a better direction, like evil minorities and totally imaginary threats…
