      And despite that he still got millions of votes. Millions of Americans want this. We’re a country of terrible people.

        Hey now. We’re only half full of terrible people. Some of us did our best to do the right thing.

          More than half the country if you count the people who voted for him and the people who didn’t vote.

        Hear, hear. Truly terrible people. It’s like half of my countrymen are the people from Always Sunny.

      It doesn’t matter. You are ignoring the rot at the core. Even if people turned out and kamala won - it Trump should have broken the Republican party. It should not have been a competition.

        trump voters don’t make any* deflections on who they are. the cruelty IS what they vote for. it’s not gonna break the republican party, it’s what they’ve been asking for. Trump just tapped into it. can’t do anything about those fuckers and trying isnt worth it.

        I want to look at the people who just sat this round out because it wasn’t exciting and wouldnt really harm them. going back to “this isnt who we are” as a culture and pleading with them is not gonna work.

          They haven’t finished counting the votes yet. Unless you are somehow comparing to the exact point in the count 4 years ago, this type of analysis is very premature. Except even that would be a bad idea because covid made things weird in 2020.

          It’ll be a little while until we get a good handle on turnout. Until then don’t read too much into it.
