The US election may focus on two points:
1️⃣ Economic policy. Economic policy mainly consists of one tax cut and one tax increase. Trump’s economic policy will be more conducive to the prosperity of the capital market, at least in the short term, including reducing corporate taxes, prohibiting illegal immigration, shaking the independence of the Federal Reserve, and reducing the US fiscal deficit;
Harris is raising taxes to subsidize small businesses, disadvantaged groups, and public spending, including "public welfare" support for scientific research funds. Obviously, Harris will use populism to win votes, after all, it will increase welfare for the lower and middle classes.
2️⃣ Conflict of values. The "awakening virus" is a conservative value orientation proposed by Musk. Strictly speaking, it is a cultural movement with strong ideologies such as opposing environmentalism, LGBTQ, gay marriage laws, abortion, progressivism, and labor unions. Trump and the Republican Party use such conservative values to gain votes from evangelicals, Hayek liberalism, Catholicism, and other conservative values. They belong to the neoclassical liberal school;
I think Harris and the Democratic Party have inherited more existentialist and socialist ideas, forming a set of modern liberal ideas that were brought over from Europe after World War II. Because the United States lacks the cultural heritage of Europe, it also introduced Eastern schools such as Zen, Tantra, and Indian philosophy to transform culture.
Trump's policies will certainly bring short-term prosperity to the United States, but will cause the United States to decline in the long run, mainly because its scientific research and technological innovation capabilities will continue to decline, because many scientific research funds supporting the United States, including protection funds, will be cut.
I think the credit endorsement of the US dollar after it was separated from gold is largely based on strong basic science and technological leadership. Musk's companies have all received government subsidies, which is why the United States has always been at the forefront of high-tech and the U.S. stock index has continued to set new highs.
So (Science) and (Nature) both came out to vote for Democrat Harris.
The conservative values that Trump uses to win votes will actually form a kind of "tyranny" over other values and even affect social diversity (i.e. cultural freedom).
However, if Trump, Musk, Steve Jobs and others were elected president, they might really become tyrants like Hitler. It was the influence of hippies and Zen Buddhism that gradually changed Jobs' temperament.
In any case, both sides will use populism to achieve their own vote goals. It is possible that Harris will lose the election with a large number of votes like Hillary, but a small number of electoral votes, or she may win the election by a narrow margin.
The most interesting thing about the US election is the contradiction of values. Everyone's pursuit of economic freedom and cultural freedom is the driving force behind the pursuit of happiness, but few people have the "cultural awareness" to know that they are "bound" by a certain culture.
