Trump was President for 4 years already. We already knew how horrible he was.

He tried to overthrow the government.

Fuck people, you were there.

Edit: Don't feed the trolls. Disingenuous arguments should not be entertained.

I hate Trump, hell I hate him enough that I’m on a secret service watchlist. But Jesus fuck people, just because he’s a cunt doesn’t mean we can’t criticize democrats. It’s this kind of mentality that led to them losing, the inability to take any criticism. I mean you guys sound like Bush, you’re either with us or with the terrorists. I think this article points out a glaring issue with Dems

Exactly.

For years they told us Trump is The End of Democracy, while doing absolutely nothing to stop him from running again. So either they don't believe it or they are fine with The End of Democracy. Which is it?

One reason is that the talk of threats to democracy felt completely irrelevant to most people’s number-one concern going into the election: the economy, specifically the skyrocketing cost of living these past few years: groceries, housing, consumer goods, and more.

Oh they talked about the economy alright: they gaslit us about it for the last year, and the voters knew it, which is why they didn’t Pokémon go to the polls.

Didn't everyone know that Trump's plans for massive tariffs will make the economy even worse, and most local prices go even higher? Or are we going back to Trump waving his magical minuscule tax break to make everyone forget about why the prices went up in the first place?

Voters didn’t stay home because of Trump’s lies, they stayed home because of the Democrats’ lies.

pedantic, yes, but critical to the preservation of the statement
