    Correct me if I’m wrong

    1. Missouri, Montana, Nevada, and Arizona voted for abortion rights on state level.
    2. More than half of Florida voted for same but couldn’t reach the threshold required to overturn the abortion ban.
    3. Nebraska voted for marijuana legalization.

    All of these states also overwhelmingly voted for Trump whose administration has power to ban both of these things on federal level.

    These people want progressive policies but will follow that ‘R’ straight to hell.

      The explanation is that those people are selfish. Plain and simple. They want to be able to have abortions and smoke pot themselves, but they don’t want any “others” to receive anything. Republicanism can be explained so easily as “Fuck you, I’ve got mine!”.

        The because is because he cut deals with Oil companies to get funding for his campaign. Went as far as to say a large enough donation would guarantee he would stop all the Biden admins restrictions.

        Money is all that ever mattered to him.

    100% of what voters want no longer matters. Trump is our king and dictator now. This country has handed over the senate, the presidency, and possibly even the popular vote to him. America has said, full heartedly “Yes Mr Trump, we want your particular brand of bullshit. We love it. You make the rules, and we’ll lick your butthole!”

    This is the world we live in.

    So when these 78% of people who support Bidens policys don’t get what they claim to support, I want you all to remember. You played the election like a sports league. You supported your team. You discarded all of the problems with the teams players. You just put on that red hat, with white text, and said “GO SPORTS!!!”

    This is the result. You did this America. You did this.

        Every family gathering with my conservative relatives starting on 1/20, I’m going to complain about prices and ask why Trump hasn’t brought them down yet like he said he would on day 1.

        Any time gas prices go up, I’ll be sure to point it out. Airplane tickets, same thing. Any item that fluctuates in price, I’ll be sure to let them know it’s clearly Trump’s fault it’s gotten more expensive. It must be his policies.

        When they inevitably bend over backwards to try to explain that it’s more complicated than that, I’m going to remind them just how often they complained about Biden being singlehandedly responsible as President for high prices and how easily they said he could bring them down if he just “changed his policies.”

        I’m sure they’ll see no issue with their past positions, but it’ll be cathartic for me nonetheless having to listen to them for the last 4 years.

        Holding Trump supporters accountable for their actions is the only way forward. There are no more excuses. Every bad thing to happen now moving forwards is 100% on Trump supporters AND complacent bystanders who chose not to take a stand. It was plain for everyone to see. Repudiate fascism and the toxicity plaguing the country at every opportunity.

          Yes, collectively, people need to stop coddling assholes in general, and Republicans very specifically. If they find it “mean” or they bitch about the tone, tell them where they can stick THAT kind of talk after they voted for donnie and chant stuff like “lock her up” and “fuck your feelings”.

        Please do. Every normal American needs to remind the dipshits in their lives what THEY voted for when they are bitching about the outcomes.

        They think diaper donnie has a magic wand that will give them cheap groceries, gas prices like it was 1950, and add an inch or two to their dick (or their SO’s dick if they are a straight woman).

        I’ll be here to remind them, you can be sure of that.

          The problem is, there might be some (very destructive) things that someone with total power could do to lower prices in the short term, so people think it’s real… Before the long term consequences of those things come around. But by that point they will have at least one scapegoat to pin it on.

      Is there even any question he wins the popular vote? Incidentally, it’s worth noting that Trump is likely to end up with roughly the same amount of votes as he did against Biden in 2020. It’s just that Harris will end up with like 12 million less than Biden got.

      I have to laugh at how so many people say “but the economy”.

      How much fucking better could it be? Nearly every indicator was a good one. Sure, prices were up, but they were up in every country due to some inflation, although we had less and in many cases it recovered faster than elsewhere. But nearly everyone kept repeating this bullshit over and over, along with “but the crime” and “so many immigrants”. What the actual fuck.

          People wonder how Trump voters could vote for someone that’s going to be so damaging to America, but ironically, you’re just the flip side of a Trump voter and embody the answer to that question.

          And I’m not hating on you, I’m just saying that if we could combine this dissatisfaction on both sides Voltron style, maybe we could get somewhere.

            Don’t try to lump me in with the Bernie or bust people. Just because I want to see Americans suffer for their actions, don’t assume I would vote or not vote for someone because of some fanatical bullshit.

            But honestly given how 15 million Democrats, progressives, and independents sat out and condoned racism, I might just not vote for candidates again and just watch this nation which really isn’t better than this burn and enjoy the schadenfreude.

            Hell maybe with enough suffering, America might actually try to not be a nation of racist disappointment.
