Donald Trump won, and I never want to hear the words 'America is better than this' again. I never want to be told about America's better angels.

    Trump got about the same amount of votes as he did in 2020. Harris got about 16 million less than Biden did.

    It’s less that voters changed their mind and more that millions of voters will show up and vote Democrat when they care and stay home when they don’t.

      If they didn’t vote in 2024, that’s because they saw trump and said “yes, this is fine”. If they didn’t, they would’ve voted.

      Even if they didn’t like Kamala, they would’ve voted for her if they didn’t think a trump presidency was acceptable.

      Anything more positive for trump than “trump’s presidency is not acceptable” means that America is not “better than this”.
