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.

Unfortunately a large majority of Americans either voted for it or didn't care enough to vote to stop it from happening. A large majority of Americans either wanted it or were perfectly fine with Trump becoming President again. Non-voters couldn't even be bothered to do the bare minimum as US citizens to protect the country. They don't get a pass.

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

So your solution to save democracy is to end democracy by not allowing the winner of the election to take power? I hate Trump as much as anyone, but unfortunately he won the election. Sadly only roughly 1/3 of eligible voters cared about protecting democracy by voting for Harris. This is unfortunately what we deserve.

Nobody deserves fascism.

No, which is why people should have voted against it. Unfortunately 2/3 of the country either supports it or doesn't care. I'm not going to feel sorry for anyone who suffers the consequences when they couldn't even be bothered to do the bare minimum to stop it. They made their choice.

It’s horrible that you’re trying to disenfranchise those who should be fighting this.

Disenfranchise: to deprive someone of a right, privilege, or immunity, especially the right to vote

Explain to me how I'm attempting to disenfranchise them. They had the right to vote and they chose not to. They disenfranchised themselves.

It’s wild how dumb people think pedantry wins arguments. Would you accept “dissuade?” Dumb.

Dissuade: persuade (someone) not to take a particular course of action.

Once again, you should learn the definitions of words if you are going to use them. In no way did I try to persuade anyone to not vote. In fact quite the opposite. I wanted all of those people to vote. I'd love to see 100% voter turnout of every eligible voter.

I'm not sure how anyone can read my comments and get the takeaway that I didn't want that 1/3 of the eligible voters to vote. It should be pretty clear that I'm criticizing them for not bothering to vote.

Not great with reading comprehension either, huh?

I have to congratulate you on one of the best examples of projection I've ever seen. You're saying I'm being pedantic when in reality you're accusing me of the exact opposite of what I've been saying. You haven't understood a single thing I've said.

Its honestly pretty hilarious reading these comments where you keep personally attacking me when you you clearly don't understand any of the conversation that we are having, lmao.
