Guess what, not everyone thinks that, and a good politician would actually promise to improve people's lives instead of continually talking about how bad the other guy is.
Trotting out the least popular Republicans ever as being on your side didn't help either.
Yes, obviously not everyone thinks fascism is an existential threat. Which is probably one of our greatest failures as a society, in terms of education.
If the democrat party genuinely gave a shit they would of held a primary and nominated a qualified and popular candidate. They didn’t. They don’t care!
indeed
the democratic party never fought like it was existential threat and it showed.
I think it's more "a lot of people would really like someone to significantly change the system of politics, and Trump promised to be a wrecking ball... oh and btw... wtf do you mean Facism. Are you like my Highschool history teacher or something? Isn't Hitler dead"
So, when you're running, ostensibly to save democracy, you should probably offer those voters stuff that will turn them out. In 2020 Biden promised them a $2000 check, and that worked (even though he reneged on it afterwards).
The only ones to blame are the Democrats. Trump got less votes than in 2020, so it's not like he got more popular, the Democrats failed to get their base out. You can't even blame the Greens this time.
Trump is currently sitting at 75.6 million votes, with a few states still finishing off their counts. His 2020 total was 74.2 million. He's not only already got more votes than he did in 2020, but he's on track to eclipse that amount even further. Meanwhile Harris is at 71 million vs Biden's 81 million. So yeah, Dem voters didn't show up because the lives of their fellow Americans don't really mean anything to them, but either some of them flipped for Trump or more people who typically sit out elections showed up for him. The numbers show Trump did get more popular. This is apparently what our country wants.
I don't think that MAGA is an existential threat to democracy, or to Americans' lives. If it were, Pres. Biden would do something about it, right? Like, maybe, lock them up. Or at least say so. He certainly wouldn't be planning to just hand over the reins and walk away.
(P.S. If you can't tell if the above is serious, then why couldn't millions of voters actually think this way?)
