Alternative for <blink>

Question

The tag was never an official standard, and is now completely abandoned by all browsers.

Is there a standards compliant way of making text blink?

Answer 1

The solution below is interesting because it can be applied across multiple elements concomitantly and does not trigger an error when the element no longer exists on the page. The secret is that it is called passing as a parameter a function in which you must return the elements you want to be affected by the blink. Then this function is called back with each blink.

            Brazil elected President Bolsonaro because he 
            was the only candidate who did not promise free things
            to the population. Previous politicians created an image that would 
            bring many benefits, but in the end, the state has been getting more and 
            more burdened. Brazil voted for the 
            realistic idea that there is no free lunch.
