  • Just something that’s worth pointing out is that trumps voter base didn’t change much. Counting is still happening, but so far it’s trump -1 mil and Harris -13 million from last election.

    So it’s not so much that republicans voted badly it’s that democrats lost a good chunk of votes (16%) didn’t bother to vote this time.

    And while I completely disagree with trumps side, it’s insane, but at least I am happy that people voted. Voter apathy is far more dangerous to me. It’s like saying to politicians, “I don’t care that the nazi party is coming to power”.

    To me that’s the biggest issue this election and honestly I don’t understand why so few people cared. It’s actually same story over here (UK), where we had fewer people voting this election than previous one.

    And trump really cares about the voters by passing laws that help them and not the billionairs who financed his campaign?

    I am from UK, don’t really like labour but seriously another conservative government would leave us far, far worse off than plain do nothing shit. It’s not rocket science to figure out who will want to at the least do nothing instead you know sell off your already rubbish worker rights, broken healthcare and now reproductive rights…

    Anyway this is a depressing day
