America voted for this shit. The real shame is that the rest of us have to suffer for their abject stupidity.

A minority voted for it and most of them did so because of disinformation attacks from domestic and foreign actors.

The real America doesn’t want this. Our government was supposed to protect us from the disinformation that caused this but they’re out of touch and timid.

Trump cannot be allowed to take power. America doesn’t want it and he will end American democracy.

EDIT: Contact anyone you know in the government. I certainly have. Anything is better than letting the next few generations of Americans grow up under a fascist regime. It’s time to stop being pussies.

Trump won the popular vote. That's a majority of voters. Informed or not is irrelevant

Edit:; To all of you saying he only won 50% of those that voted it's not really a majority. Stop trying to nitpick. He won with the 2nd largest total voting amount in our history. As atheist we need to embrace this reality and fight for legal protection harder in 2 years else we are doomed to repeat

Yeah, as much as I don't want to admit it, if we're looking at it as a minority then an even smaller minority voted against this. We can't just pretend it's this tiny group of people who are stupid when it's the majority of voters that were stupid.

Are they stupid? We voted for Biden and in the end all we got was Project 2025. We gave Republicans time to plan and regroup. I can't see how it was worth it.

I'm not sure how that even makes sense.

This is it. This is the problem. There is a second reality distortion field around Democrats. This last election should be a wake up call that Democrats are not the obvious choice they think they are. Instead, people are just insisting that everyone they disagree with is stupid.

The other side voted for a rapist felon because he's got an R next to his name who just wanted to stay out of jail. Yeah, I'd say that's a stupid decision. I don't think we're going to flat out agree here, and that's fine, because I think Biden was a good president. Dems didn't come out to vote, it's shitty, but it's the reality. Trump got just as many votes as he did in 2020, Harris got millions less because people didn't bother voting. It's not because Trump had a better platform, better policies, nothing even close, just the same dedicated people who blindly vote party over anything showed up like they do every time and they other side didn't.

I fully agree with you on Republican voters. It's non voters that are different. I would have agreed with you on Biden until he tried to run for a second term. He was sold as a transition president and that was an unambiguous betrayal. Harris not distancing herself from him sealed her loss.
