As opposed to the down home folksy charm of a rapist and convicted felon.

Well yes, and she still lost, so how poorly must she be coming across? Or is it 10s of millions of people that are just wrong?

So you believe god is real? Billions of people can't be wrong, right?

Nope but I am not bitching about it online. I just get on with my life.

Being a complete phoney didn't help. She had all the charisma of a late night preacher. That doesn't play well with most people.

You're quite literally bitching in the original comment but okay

This one is on the folks who either voted for him or couldn’t be fucked to get off their couch. This time we ALL knew exactly who he was. I would have voted for a ham sandwich to prevent fascism. Dems suck but it’s verifiably true that the electorate can pressure them into action. Good luck pressuring ol’ donny smoothbrain to do anything that isn’t in his own self interest.

Or is it 10s of millions of people that are just wrong?

Well, they chose not to oppose fascism, so, yes. Yes, they were wrong. And they are the reason that, best case, the US is in the process of undoing every positive social advancement for the last hundred years.

Okay you run with that and see how that helps to affect change.

Really, it doesn't matter at this juncture. The car was already in reverse with the foot on the gas. Now, the emergency brake has been released without any show off resistance. The cliff is right behind us and it's just a question of whether we go all the way over or high-center on the edge. We're going back and there's no way to undo what is about to happen for, best case scenario, a generation.
