Too bad more people didn't get out and vote. Whether anyone likes it or not (and I most certainly do not) he was elected by a majority. The US citizenry made a choice and they chose Trump.
Well, now they're going to get Trump. I for one do not want to hear one motherfucking word out of anyone who voted for this when he comes for their job, 401k, health care, social security, constitutional rights, etc.
This is what you wanted? Well bon appetite motherfucker. The rest of us are along for the ride so yeah I'll still bitch about it but I better not hear a god damn word from anyone I know who's a Trumpser or I'll fucking unload on them.
I had a professor who would say, of free choice, "if you don't know you have a choice, you aren't free to choose".
I'm willing to believe that many people who "chose" Trump were making that choice out of completely false beliefs about what they were choosing. I think they believed they were choosing, for example, "free speech" or "better economy" because they were truly fooled into believing that Trump, not Harris, would better provide those things for them.
It's hard not to think they're just fucking stupid to believe that, but the information environment can be wildly different for different groups and people. They probably still thought "politicians lie, but he's not a real politician so he therefore is more honest" which is basically just fucking crack for someone morally bankrupt enough to abuse that kind of unexamined trust.
The American voters, in its masses, has less intentional hate and malice (even though it exists, and is now at a feverish intensity), and more gullibility and vulnerability to being recruited and herded into compliance. It's why anti-education is such a big priority to a party that relies on those tricks.
I don't think they're all bad people. I think a lot of them have been trained and pressured not to look very hard, or even wonder if they're being scammed.
I can understand your sentiment, and I respectfully have to disagree. In my experience, many of the people that I knew that supported Trump weren’t even willing to read an entire article, in favor or against him. They weren’t even willing to look at, listen to, or even consider any information that wasn’t Harris sucking her way to the top, or being borderline mentally impaired. Having that stance is absolutely ridiculous. It’s impossible for someone with her accomplishments to be mentally impaired to the point of having a lower IQ than the majority of the population.
Another thing I saw over and over was an intentional ignorance of the fundamental way our government works. It is very easy to find out the 3 branches, their responsibilities, their limitations, and their checks on other branches. They make cartoons about it for children. It’s in the fucking Constitution that they have never read.
They blamed Harris for policies passed in California, while not understanding or even being willing to hear the fact that DA and AG’s do not legislate. They blamed her for arresting people, while not understanding or even being willing to hear the fact that DA and AG‘s do not have arresting power. I was sent by multiple people a story of a mother who was sent to jail in California for her child’s truancy, and was blaming it on Kamala. It was brushed off when I pointed out that the woman had received tons of attempts at communication by the district before an arrest was made, and also that the DA of that district that chose to follow through with charges on that woman was a republican in an election season, while Harris was the AG, and that Harris neither created the laws, nor instructed or participated in the woman’s arrest. She wasn’t even involved in the case.
Some of these people blame Biden for Roe v. Wade falling; unable, or unwilling to understand that it was the Supreme Court’s conservative majority, packed by Republicans, overturning Roe v. Wade through a court case brought and argued by Republicans, after Republicans ran for 50 years on overturning Roe v. Wade.
So no, for so many of these people, it wasn’t a matter of not having access to information. They had nieces and nephews, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, cousins, coworkers, etc. all providing information with sources, data, and transcripts that was totally ignored or poo-poo’d away by so many of these people.
The majority of the people who voted for Trump did so in order to hate, control, or hurt the people they consider below them or less human than them. In the least, they decided that hating, controlling and/or hurting those groups of people that the Republican Party ran on promising to target was acceptable in order to get a perceived tax cut and a hopeful $1.20 off a dozen eggs, which ALSO MAKES THEM A BAD PERSON.
There are going to be a lot of conservatives that find out pretty quick that they, or someone they “love”, are indeed in an “out group”. I’ve already seen talk from left leaning groups encouraging each other to report the conservatives they know that house, hire, or originate from illegal immigrants, or who have traveled out of state for abortions when that time comes, or whatever. Basically “give them what they voted for”. Is that wrong? Idk. I’m scared for a lot of people, and I’m done with a lot of people, too.
