You’ve effectively paraphrased Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” quote. Attempting to alienate your opponents and treat them like rabid animals is not a winning move.
Do you not realize the purposeful damage people like you who voted for that sociopath have done and continue to do?
Toxic, divisive, and unproductive language. You’re also conveniently disregarding the fact that Trump’s opponent was the only person in the whole country capable of losing to him. You should direct your anger toward the people responsible for electing her during the primaries, rather than a lone person, in California (who therefore had no impact on his election), who cast his vote 7 years ago.
I disagree with most of your points, but damned if you’re not right about that. The DNC shares a lot of blame for inflicting Trump on us, after straight up rigging the 2016 primaries against Bernie. Of course the Republicans also just rolled over and let him drive their entire party off the alt right cliff, so maybe the lesson is that all politicians are weasels.
That said, if the choice is between a corrupt and spineless weasel and a rabid hyena intent of tearing the country down around his ears, I’ll pick the one that’s less likely to bit my face off.
There is plenty of room for common ground on that. I could not vote for her either. I have the unpopular opinion that she would have been much worse for the country. And I REALLY dislike T. (I didn’t vote for him either.)
Thanks for keeping this all civil. Voices like yours are needed to prevent the Reddification of Lemmy.

Blind rage is unproductive online, and highly detrimental in real life. I wish you the best.
