    I know that there were a significant amount of people that voted republican because of the lies that were told saying he’d fix the economy. Shit like this is something only the hardcore Republicans wanted. They are always boasting about winning, but if we had an election after all this shit came out I’m almost positive Trump would lose by a landslide. We’re already seeing some Republicans getting their faces eaten and are questioning their loyalty.

    Basically what I’m saying is that I’m pretty sure the majority of the US does not want this. And I’m sure there are plenty within MAGA that are shitting themselves right now as they sit there afraid for their lives to go against any of this. Especially those that aren’t straight white men.

      Lol, none of this is a surprise or new. Leopards and face eating was planned and expected. The majority of the US voted or abstained for him. This is the outcome. This is what they implicitly wanted. If what they voted for is different to what they thought, they haven’t been duped. The information was available. They have been wantonly ignorant. That’s not to say we should blame voters. That’s to say, hopefully people become more informed and accept that when Republicans allow the deplorable a to take over, this is what happens. When democrats try to take the high ground but don’t prosecute insurrection and treason and fix the supreme court, this is what happens.

      History teaches us these patterns. It is why they are trying so hard to erase and rewrite history.

      Bold of you to assume. The ones who voted Trump either wanted all this or are dumb as fuck to not see it coming. Don’t put your hopes on them.

      He legally cheated through gerrymandering and voter suppression. I wouldn’t be surprised if he illegally cheated as well.

        the voting machines, the extremely close call on all blue counties, never ordered a recount.
