Frida Ghitis: Donald Trump ’s victory over Kamala Harris is triumph of nihilism.

She says it confronts those who still honor liberal democracy, multiculturalism, pluralism and a “nation of laws” Ghitis says many Americans believe in nothing.

Ghitis argues that Trump 's lack of character, morality, and respect for our norms did not cost him the election.

David Rothkopf : The nihilist constituency is, unwittingly, cooperative with the Kremlin .

He says it is better to place your hopes in a criminal than a criminal who acts as if everything is legit .

He asks: If Trump initiates a mass deportation and internment camp operation, as he and his close advisors have promised, it will result in pain, economic decline, higher prices, and a national wreck.

The good news is that it could all change. The voters have spoken. We are about to have an educational experience.
