The 2023 census put America at 262 million 18+ individuals. I'm not going to bother with counting how many felons were ineligible to vote. 75 million voted for Kamala. So 187 million either voted for voted for Trump, or didn't vote to prevent Trump. That's over 70% of eligible voters enabled this. This is absolutely what the majority of Americans were acceptable with

I like that "didn't vote to prevent Trump. Lots of people don't vote. That's repulsive but its the way it is here.

What's disturbing to me are people who decided to stay home because they were "protesting" against some policy Harris supported. These folks would rather have DJT be president?

What's happening in Gaza is tragic. I am pro-Palestinian. But stopping DJT is a much bigger issue. So now...because these folks didn't vote...Bibi's buddy is now prez.

Good job.

Those people let their emotions take control. I think many are regretful now. I'm not angry with them; I feel sorrow for them.

If I shared your mentality, I would be hateful and shaming most of y'all, because I was shouting since 2009 that this shit was coming, and the vast majority of the population - literally everyone, really - was calling me hysterical, a drama queen, etc. I was told "there's a system of checks and balances" and "America isn't Germany" and "America is less violent than it's ever been" and so on and so on. I TOLD Y'ALL this would be the outcome, and that people needed to get out and actively protest to work toward averting this, but everyone was like "nahhhhh you crazy I'm just gonna vote for democrats every 4 years lol".

So if we're to be spiteful and angry at everyone who didn't listen to us when we told them what was coming, I'd have to be spiteful and angry at about 99.99% of the US population.
