The US adult population is something like 260 million, and Trump has like 73 million votes.
Tons of those people also had to deal with votor suppression, and I even had to manually cure my ballot this year because my “signature didn’t match” supposedly (as did 5 other people I know who dropped off at the same location).
We’ve also been under a huge amount of propaganda and some people are literally living in separate realitites where their enemies are ridiculous evil characatures.
Like… I get it. It’s hard to feel good towards America right now, and lots of those people who didn’t vote deserve a lot of this blame. But is it really that rational to throw the rest of America under the bus?
At the very least, just help the people around you. Just be a person and participate in your community. You don’t need to put a bunch of time and energy into political activism, but work done to help local communities is never wasted.
Yea, it is. This isn’t a normal election. The danger is incredibly high for all kinds of terrible outcomes: civil war, famine, a collapsed economy. All these things seem readily possible now in a way they have never felt before.
and by the time everyone realizes just how bad things are, it’s going to be too late to do anything about it. Canadas borders will be closed and Mexico is already a failed state. Get out now while you still can. Before they enact exist visas to try and stop the brain drain
