    No, it just would have made Trump’s victory even more sad and pathetic. The goose is cooked, Out of Americans who care to get off their ass and vote, there are more Jingoistic Ultranationalists than there are not. Trump’s victory was assured if the competition was Kamala or Biden.

      I don’t think this is true. A lot of the people who voted for Trump in the election are simply disillusioned with the status quo, and rightly so. They don’t know enough to know which changes would help, but when only one side promised change, they went with that side.

      Trump’s victory was assured not by an overwhelming amount of fascist voters, but by an overwhelming amount of unhappy voters combined with Democrats’ utter failure to challenge the system that made them unhappy.

        Yeah I’m sorry no. If you voted for Trump for the reasons you state (or even decided to not not vote), then that’s on you. Stop trying to blame Democrats. Be an adult and take responsibility for your actions.

        You have to be extremely stupid to vote for Trump for the reasons you mention. Everything was easily available, there was no reason not to understand why it’s idiotic, unless you’re ignorant.

        You specifically talk about some really fucking stupid “reasoning” for voting for Trump, and then immediately absolve the idiots who made their choice based on that reasoning. No. Just… No.

          You really can’t wrap your head around thebfsct that more than half of America trusts trump more than the whole democrat party. There are non-bullshit reasons for that too if you’d care to ask anyone. Its completely reasonable to ask why people do not trust democrats, or traditional republicans for that matter. The best option for more than half the country was to try to destroy the federal government.

          I voted for democrats, because I know better, but it’s a fact that there are a lot of people who don’t pay as much attention to politics as I do. Ultimately, most of the people who voted for Trump are not perpetrators, they are victims. Of course I wish they were less ignorant, but I also don’t personally blame them, because I’m not into victim-blaming. The blame should be assigned to the perpetrators, the rich and powerful. Democrat leadership very much included.
