Samo Burja: 本次美国总统大选结果并非完全出乎意料,民调低估了特朗普的支持率,这与社会认同偏差有关。每次选举的规则都在变化,单纯依靠统计模型预测结果并不准确。美国政治的动态变化既可能促进活力,也可能导致对根本性结构问题的忽视。特朗普的胜利是网络媒体的胜利,民主党在媒体策略上落后,缺乏与特朗普和马斯克联盟抗衡的网络媒体力量。民主党需要适应不断变化的媒体环境,并学习特朗普和马斯克的成功经验。民主党应该采取更灵活的策略,在某些议题上做出让步以争取更多选民。民主党在媒体策略和候选人选择上的失误导致了选举失利。选民关注候选人的个人魅力,民主党候选人缺乏足够的个人魅力。民主党可能需要调整其移民政策,因为开放边境政策并未带来预期的政治回报。西班牙裔选民对特朗普的支持程度超出预期,这可能促使民主党调整移民政策。民主党需要关注城市治理问题,以赢得更多选民。民主党试图将非法移民转移到摇摆州以获得永久多数的理论是可信的,马斯克对言论自由规范的改变对政治话语产生了影响。马斯克在推特上的行为影响了此次选举,并迫使民主党采取了反科技的立场。人们对政治言论的容忍度会随着时间推移而变化,这会影响人们对政治未来的理解。此次选举后缺乏明显的抗议活动,可能是因为社会媒体环境的变化以及对美国在国际事务中地位的重新评估。美国政府内部可能对特朗普的当选持相对温和的态度,因为其外交政策被认为是可控的,并且欧洲盟友的影响力下降。对特朗普政府能否进行改革持怀疑态度,认为官僚机构的改革需要长期努力。特朗普的言行与2016年相比有所改变,其在社交媒体上的影响力有所下降。右翼人士低估了机构权力,并且缺乏能够胜任政府工作的优秀人才。右翼缺乏能够胜任政府工作的人才,这使得政府改革面临挑战。右翼应该培养更多人才,并制定长期的政府改革战略。右翼需要考虑如何从现有的人才库中吸纳人才,并制定相应的策略。“科技右翼”的范围正在扩大,其对政府的影响尚不明确。政府应该用新的科技公司取代传统的大公司,但需要处理由此产生的利益冲突问题。“科技右翼”可能会挑战五角大楼的既有权力结构,这将引发冲突。五角大楼的规划方式存在问题,需要改革以适应21世纪的军事需求。政府应该利用积极的叙事来推动科技发展和能源转型,争取更多民众的支持。“科技右翼”应该利用其优势,推动美国政府和社会的改革,并与中国展开太空竞赛。 “科技右翼”有机会推动政府改革,并取得积极成果。特朗普能否像改革推特一样改革政府机构,取决于其投入的精力和面临的阻力。政府机构改革是可能的,需要左右两派共同努力。 Erik Torenberg: 部分观点与Samo Burja一致,并就具体政策和策略提出补充和质疑。
