Fuckimg depressing that probably 1/3rd of people didn't vote. And of the 2/3 of those that did - most of them voted Trump.

So basically a minimum of 1/3 but more likely more than 1/2 of Americans wanted Trump and the Republican Party to represent them. They voted for:

  • Russian dominion over Ukraine and further aggression on its neighbours
  • Chinese genocides and aggression on its neighbours
  • mass deportation of vulnerable and productive members of society (he calls them immigrants)
  • men controlling women's health and avoidable deaths
  • oppression of LGBTQ+
  • racism
  • fraud
  • corruption

Why? Because they believe that Trump is going to make them richer.

Nice people.

Putting all that aside, because most people don't delve into details, he is a damn idiot! People used to laugh and ostracize people like Trump not so long ago. Why is this suddenly okay to [long list of non-political things he said and did]?

"He's like me."

Large sections of the land country are deeply anti-intellectual, and proudly wear their badge of ignorance. They are enabled and abetted by their churches.
