      That 30-ish% (or more) of Americans like and support fascism is a real problem. Its been a real problem for… roughly all of human history that 1/3 of us are selfish monsters that lack empathy.

      Trump stole the election. He announced he would, his lackeys did extensive voter suppression work, and then he bragged about doing it afterwards. He didn’t win a fair election, and it’s disgusting that the narratives have fully blown past that.

      The wealthiest people on Earth believe that we’re in an “end game” of some sort, and that now is the time to do everything in their considerable power to consolidate rule before the big collapse sets in. This isn’t an America problem, it’s a World Class War and the USA isnt even the first battlefield, just currently the most visible failure of the lower classes to fight back.

      Its a global class war the Australian Murdoch family is a huge reason Americans vote they way they do. Also it has bled into Canada. The freedom convoy and people like Lauren Southern are paid shills for foreign billionaires.

      Can we please stop with the mental gymnastics of 30% didn’t vote 5% Tiger King and the rest got split between Harris and Trump?

      The fact is that the majority of voters chose Trump, period. Now you guys need to get your shit together and fix this shitshow, but as others have said it already, the trust is gone.

      No the problem is ALL the about 75% that didn’t vote against him.
      They were fine with letting Trump win.

        According to usnews.com (maybe not the most reputable source but),

        64% of the voting-eligible population in the U.S. voted in the 2024 election.

        Of those, who voted, 49.8% voted trump and 48.3% voted kamala.

        That means 31.8% of eligible voters voted for trump, 30.912% voted for kamala, 0.012% voted other, and 36% didnt vote at all. That makes it 62-63% 68% of eligible voters didnt vote against him.

        Which isnt much better

          30.912% voted for kamala

          That makes 69.1% that didn’t vote against Trump.

          Or in very rough rounded numbers.

          About half voted, about half of those voted against Trump. = 75% that didn’t.

          It was never meant to be an accurate number, but a ballpark rounded number. From 75 to 69 is 6% inaccurate. Good enough for the point I was trying to make. And more accurate numbers dont change the point in any way.
          The point is a vast majority is OK with having a flaming fascist sociopath as president.
