Summary
Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the 2024 election leaves no room for ambiguity or an “asterisk” in his legitimacy, as he won both the popular vote and the Electoral College.
This outcome represents a clear mandate from American voters, who knowingly chose Trump’s policies and approach.
The anticipated results include pardons for January 6 participants, attacks on the press, and an administration filled with controversial figures.
By voting for Trump, Americans prioritized divisive rhetoric over democratic values, accepting the resulting turmoil.
Votes aren’t all counted so no, 15 million didn’t sit out. I’m not saying it wasn’t millions, but it’s not 15 million.
You’re fine being part of the problem then? Shit looks bad so you’re not going to even try and be civil? You sound like those disaffected voters.
What if the folks that voted in 2020 and didn’t vote in 2024 are the type of folks who just normally don’t vote and weren’t inspired this year? What if the same kind of “there’s no way Trump can win” thinking had them taking the situation for granted? Again, not saying they should have fucking voted but maybe it’s more complicated than a few million people didn’t vote this year so apparently the entirety of the non-republicans are racists. Group punishment is in order?
