Zeitgeist.

 As we approach the last few days of the 2024 Presidential election or as some have called it the - Trump reality show - who will win? The political and social zeitgeist is difficult to determine. It’s according to many pundits - too close to call. Nevertheless there has been a lot of electors going early to register their vote. Some have suggested in the - privacy of the voting booth - women voters are casting their vote for Harris. Moreover others have argued women have voted early for Harris to make sure their vote is in. Could these secret and early voting call it for Harris? This might be the most - consequential election in American recent history. We might look back on 2024 as the last battle ground for legitimacy. Tina Brown, the former glamorous editor of Vanity Fair magazine - has said the other day she is suffering from “election anxiety”. Should on the other hand Trump, win then a dystopian world opens up and Project 2025 - would be enacted. That doesn’t bear thinking about, either for Americans or the rest of us.
