There is nothing that God, man, or the Constitution can do about the fact that we elected Trump, because we did it to ourselves.

Summary

Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the 2024 election leaves no room for ambiguity or an “asterisk” in his legitimacy, as he won both the popular vote and the Electoral College.

This outcome represents a clear mandate from American voters, who knowingly chose Trump’s policies and approach.

The anticipated results include pardons for January 6 participants, attacks on the press, and an administration filled with controversial figures.

By voting for Trump, Americans prioritized divisive rhetoric over democratic values, accepting the resulting turmoil.

    At 15 million non-voters at this point, again, it’s not progressives that lost this election and there’s millions of Democrats here that went, “you know what, this guy’s a criminal, rapist, racist but I’m going to just not vote today to make my point clear”.

    Democrats and progressives have divided themselves enough as it is without my help and both groups have enough people that are okay with racism taking power again, they’ve made it loud and clear they’re okay with it.

    As a minority that’s had decades of living with this bullshit, nope, I’m done. Electing Trump once was bad but maybe just a fluke. Electing Trump a second time knowing full well what he is and what he stands for, nope America is a racist country and Democrats and Progressives are fine with it.

      Votes aren’t all counted so no, 15 million didn’t sit out. I’m not saying it wasn’t millions, but it’s not 15 million.

      You’re fine being part of the problem then? Shit looks bad so you’re not going to even try and be civil? You sound like those disaffected voters.

      What if the folks that voted in 2020 and didn’t vote in 2024 are the type of folks who just normally don’t vote and weren’t inspired this year? What if the same kind of “there’s no way Trump can win” thinking had them taking the situation for granted? Again, not saying they should have fucking voted but maybe it’s more complicated than a few million people didn’t vote this year so apparently the entirety of the non-republicans are racists. Group punishment is in order?
