“A number of the rhetoric and political views I encountered have been fully horrifying, however after I had precise one-on-one conversations with individuals, they couldn’t have been extra nice. Which is the massive tragedy of American politics,” says photographer Jamie Lee Taete of the ultimate days of the US election. “That everybody is mainly in the identical boat and being satisfied to hate one another by the highly effective individuals which can be truly making everybody’s lives depressing. Even Kari Lake, who spent a big portion of the speech that I attended pointing towards the media space and speaking about how evil all of us are, gave me and a few different photographers what felt like a fairly real thanks when she was leaving the occasion.”
