      To be fair, roughly half the country didn’t vote in the last election, 49.2% to be more precise.

        To be REALLY fair, the election was stolen. From the instant the election was over, the Dems were pronouncing that the election was fair & square, before they could even investigate and determine if that were true. Then they started endorsing the concept that there were millions of voters in swing states who voted straight Democratic tickets, except they voted Trump at the top. MILLIONS!

        And yet, I’ve never heard of a single voter who did that. There are undoubtedly some, but they are as rare as white squirrels. Not one person has come forward in the media to claim to be one of those split ticket voters.

        I suggest that they don’t exist, at least not in the millions, or even the thousands. It would be interesting to see how many of those ballots exist in Swing States, as compared to non-swing states. I would bet that we would find them almost exclusively in the Swing States, because those were the states Trump had to win, and somehow, he implausibly won them all. I’ll bet there are almost none of those ballots in states that weren’t in contention.

        Dems should do that investigation, and then we’ll know if those split ticket voters really exist, or if those were the DOGE Goblins at work.

        Voter suppression is generally very high so I won’t blame those people who couldn’t vote for any of the many reasons that the US uses, but a choice not to vote is an implicit endorsement.

      I’m pretty happy with the outcome. The more America is weakened, the better for the rest of the world and the easier it will be to rebuild to something better.

      I would still hate the USA if Blue MAGA was doing a genocide and immigration crackdowns and jingoistic hypermilitarism.

          How are you any better than a neonazi? Either you outright support a modern day holocaust or you are in denial of it. I genuinely don’t understand how a supposed human being can be so low. Americans in general are just disgusting people all around. Your beloved holocaust-loving candidate also ran on being “tough on the border” and having the “most lethal military in the world.” You people are just jingoistic, ultranationalist fascist freaks, completely brainwashed by your state and incapable of having a shred of empathy for others, gleefully cheering at the dismemberment of hundreds of thousands of babies and begging for just more militarization and aggression while your country is falling the fuck apart. Wake up. Normal human beings with a conscience who are not part of your brainwashed jingoistic bubble aren’t fine with industrial-scale genocide and endless war just because the person who does it is blue, but I know you brainwashed Americans cannot possibly even grasp that idea because the ultranationalistic brainwashing has rendered you incapable of conscious thought.
