Trump's second term, more brutal and cruel than the first, has the appearance of white, Christian and patriarchal counter-revolution. The mid-term elections revealed the weakness of popular support for this project, but they are not enough to overthrow it.
For historian Olivier Richomme, the results of the mid-term elections, disastrous for the Republican camp, prove above all that the counter-powers remain solid and give hope for a democratic renewal for the presidential 2028.
Under Trump, the US has reached an authoritarian phase, says historian Manfred Berg. Whether this development continues depends on this and the election of 2028. But even in a defeat Trump will stick to his political style.
"The elections will have an impact on whether the path to an authoritarian presidential system can be stopped," says Professor Manfred Berg from Heidelberg University on NDR Info.
