    You mean Destroy-America.

    The fact that the House and Senate are all Republican control, will make this a lot easier.

        The majority of the ~40% of eligible voters that actually participated.

        That fact always shocks me. People have an invaluable right and don’t use it.

          No, all of them.

          In the words of Rush, “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”

          The other 60% voted by staying home, knowing it was a de-facto vote for Trump.

            Great point but I think not entirely correct. I’ve seen a bunch of interviews of people shockingly disengaged. Google even noted a spike on election day of questions about “did Biden drop out” - there’s a chunk of the population that just ignores politics and is utterly disinterested in voting.

            Why I’ll never know.

              And they’ll be uninterested in trump leading them, but they’ll still complain when it affects them. They had the power to choose and ignored it, so the fault also falls onto them.

                100%. People being disconnected don’t get a free pass. It’s an infinitesimally small number of americans who get to adulthood and actively participate in our society who don’t understand the very basic fundamentals of democracy and civics. Choosing not to take a side is still choosing a side whether they like it or not.
