The folks with brains voted blue. The dumbasses voted for Trump.
I strongly dislike democrats, for the record. I’m independent, and I really think democrats are shit. But I voted for Kamala.

It’s a mystery why politics is so polarized these days…
Trump is terrible, but many people voted for him because they saw something in him that they wanted or needed. It was most likely based on lies but it’s what they needed. Any alternative, if it hopes to win, must address the same needs.
Unfortunately “highly engaged voters” aren’t a large segment of the population. If you want to win elections, you have to cater to the voters who only hear the occasional sound bite and then just make a decision based on vibes and/or what their friends and chosen media propaganda factory tell them.
No, it’s not an ideal world, but it’s the world we live in, and it’s been that way for a long time — more than long enough that the DNC should have gotten it’s act together by now. And yet… here we are again…
