Philosopher Slavoj Žižek on the re-election of Donald Trump & his fears for Western values

Zizek suggests that when Trump lies, people say he lies like us, he's endearing, and when Harris lied, she was straight up lying. Ordinary depravity appealed to his voters, and Democrats didn't show up for Harris. Trump had about the same votes when he lost to Biden, but Harris didn't get all the Biden votes.

He talks about how Ugandha associated gay rights with western liberal democracy. 

There are these weird political counter winds that are confusing to me.
