Both things can be true, but it’s funny that two opposite sounding replies came to this one comment about US politics.

    Most Americans either voted for the orange moron or didn’t care enough to vote against him. And there was plenty of evidence about what he was going to do; there was his first term, and there were all his speeches about what he was going to do, and is now doing.

    So there is no excuse. Most Americans approved this, either implicitly or explicitly, because they did not vote for the alternative. Honestly I’m surprised Harris couldn’t win simply with the message “I’m not Trump.”

      It’s understandable to be frustrated, but this statement ignores America’s long history of voter disenfranchisement.

      That last part is the least surprising thing imaginable. Reveals a deep misunderstanding of how and why people actually vote

      America is the epicenter of social media brainrot. ‘I’m not Trump’ would never be good enough there. It needs to come with a TikTok dance or something else flashy and provocative.
