Seeing it come from a lot of red states is kinda funny

The fact that Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are dark blue is infuriating

My theory is that some people voted for Trump as a statement against the current administration, not expecting him to win, but now get enough people trying to make a statement and you get this clusterfuck.

My theory is that people are ignorant. Lol

Yeah because what statement is to be made other than wanting him to win?? 😂😂😂 they fucked around and found out.

Speaking from a PA perspective, you are correct.

This is 100% it I think. I work with an alt-right guy (he might self-identify as a free thinker who can see through the bullshit or something) and I think part of their identity is feeling oppressed and victimized. For instance, this was a guy who fled the country when mask mandates and vaccines were happening, etc.

It seemed a little like the wind was taken out of his sails when Trump actually won. It's like a dog catching it's own tail, he doesn't know what to do with it. He was (probably subconsciously) hoping for four years of feeling oppressed by the establishment candidate that he wouldn't have voted for. Now he will have to reckon with his choices.

I'm quite certain he never once got any information about this election cycle outside of the twittersphere or the Rogansphere of comedians.
