MODERATORS
Maybe being surrounded by these motherfuckers 90% of the time has skewed my view, but no matter what happens, they are going to defend Trump with their lives. Protests are going to get a lot more bloody and Trump is chomping at the bit to send the military to quell them. While I understand what she's getting at in this article, not all Americans live in California. Just from looking around and listening to the people speaking around me, they've already won. It's not even just the government you have to worry about anymore. Your neighbors are more than happy to help this fascist enact his hateful policies.
He still ~~lost vote shared~~ had just about the same vote share compared to the previous election. It's just that dems didn't show up as much. If his tariff plans go into effect, his support will almost certainly drop a fair amount more. A good chunk of people supported him because they thought he'd magically fix everything economically. Destroying the economy will turn people against him or at least not make them so actively support him
Tens of millions did not vote for this. If they want to take away rights, make every one a fight. Every thing that they have to spend time on keeps them from moving on to the next thing
How do you mean?
2020 Results:
Biden: 81,283,501 Trump: 74,223,975
2024 Results (95% Reporting):
Kamala: 70,383,093 Trump: 74,312,688
Trump effectively had the same number of people voting for him - and obviously had a bigger share of those that bothered to vote.
Ah I looked a bit earlier with less vote percentage reporting. Guess the outstanding vote was in more republican areas than I had thought. Regardless, the rest of my point still stands even if the vote share is about the same this election
