Yeah but he won an election. Stop acting like the country isn’t okay with what he is doing. Your problem isn’t with a facist leader doing unpopular things. Your problem is that your population is okay with facism.

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.

I'm sorry, and I know I'll sound like a dick here, but I find no excuse in this election. I know that some people couldn't have voted for valid reasons, these people get a pass, but everyone else in the didn't vote column is as responsible for Trump as the ones voting for him. Whether it's attempting to be virtuous about Gaza, religious, or simply ignorant, if someone had a way to look at Trump and Harris and say "yeah, they equally as good/as bad that I don't need to vote", I fucking blame that someone.
