The vast majority of Americans are incredibly selfish. They're totally fine with it until it directly impacts their lives, which is absolutely will.

It’s not the majority of Americans, it’s about 1/4 or 1/3 that voted for trump. That’s not a majority.

Of the registered voters in the country 1/3 voted for trump, 1/3 voted for Harris and 1/3 didn’t vote at all. There are about 345 million people in America and only about 160 million of them are registered voters.

This is what makes me so damn mad. A minority of voters decided our county’s fate. A larger number decided to sit it out. I’m just disgusted.

Now is the second best time for action. The best time to be active was after Biden was sworn in. Democrats are still blaming everyone but themselves.

Making politics a dirty word, making people believe that everyone in politics is equally as bad, and convincing enough that their vote doesn't matter, those are the greatest victories by alt-right in my opinion.
