      The people who sat on the couch are just as responsible for this as the people who voted him in. He actually won the popular vote this time around, so between the 2 groups this is what they wanted.

          Can you expand upon that? Everyone knew that a vote for Trump/3rd party/or not voting at all was to Trump’s benefit. Did you see a model or theory that would allow Trump to get more votes and still lose the electoral college? Or is your argument that people that only enabled Trump but didn’t vote for him shouldn’t be put in the same bucket?

          Are you 5 years old? Just saying “no” with nothing else isn’t doing you any favors, you only make yourself look dumb as fuck. Your opinion already does that, so you only made it worse.

          If those people that didn’t vote had voted for Kamala instead she’d have won the election, by a lot. How is that not them giving Trump a vote?

      I’m in the US, I voted against Trump, I’m likely going to suffer if he is able to accomplish a smidgen of what he has talked about, and I think we got what we deserved. I know a lot of innocent people are going to suffer, but this is a country of very selfish people. Even some of the most liberal people I have met in this country still have a very selfish mindset and reason for the liberal bent. As soon as they attain a position where they have an advantage they basically pull up the ladder. I’m personally tired of it.

      People are going to die, ecosystems are going to burn, countries may very well fall. My only hope is that things only get bad enough that the masses learn an important lesson that at least lasts for their generation and that recovery is possible in that time frame.

      It’s not that I don’t care. It’s not even that I don’t have the fight left in me. I just don’t see any kind of path to a better place without substantial harm occurring first. I will not be happy to be right. I want to be wrong.

I will not be happy to be right. I want to be wrong. I think many are feeling the same. Everybody wants peace not this, but seems this is where we going.

      And almost half of the population couldn’t be bothered to get off their asses and say “no, we fucking don’t want this”.

      That’s how democracy works though. People didn’t show up, so it’s the same as voting him in effectively
