Let me get this right. So, you know exactly who this man is and what he stands for. Yet, you elect him anyway. You know he’s been “joking” about this before. Yet, you elect him anyway. He’s a convicted felon. Yet, you elect him anyway.
I’ve lost every smidgen of respect I had for Americans. You went into this with eyes wide open. You deserve what’s coming.

60% of eligible voters didn’t vote. It can be debated if they are complacent or if party leadership didn’t Sufficiently motivate them to vote
Of the 40% eligible voters that did vote, 50% voted for trump and 48% voted for Harris.
So depending on how you look at it, 19% of eligible voters actively didn’t vote for Trump, or 20% of eligible voters actively voted for Trump.
We could also go on to say that, of those who voted for trump, there was a portion that was not informed which could partially be blamed on the media as well as party leaderships. Some of them are just in a cult mentality and while that doesn’t excuse their behavior, they are actively being manipulated. And then there are a bunch of voters who genuinely just want to watch the world burn.
I’m sure we could dissect this many ways, but i can can’t see how everyone deserves what’s coming. For example , I didn’t ask for this. I actively volunteered my time to try to prevent it. Yeah, a good chunk of Americans are idiots. But not all of us deserve what’s coming. Fuck that.
He’s talking broadly, to Americans. Which you and I are. And he’s right, we deserve this. As a country.
As an individual, neither of us do, since we fought and voted against him. But that’s not what OP was saying. He wasn’t addressing you specifically, but our nation in the second person.
nope, it’s the usual European smug superiority complex I see all over Lemmy, as if they don’t have the same problems there (not to mention have had in the past). They can enjoy gloating until the same thing happens in their country, which won’t be long.
Same. I voted on the first day of early voting, and convinced my nephew and his two best friends to cast their first (and likely last) votes. My niece is 15; I’m sure she’ll be glad to hear she “deserves” what’s coming.
By what logic? Unless you think that participating in the electoral process at all makes you complicit in the outcome whatever it is this doesn’t really tally.

You’re talking to the people who tried to stop him, so fuck off.

I voted for Kamala, and got a handful of others to as well, don’t include me with the rest of them. I don’t deserve this.
Yeah, not only did I vote against this, my demographic hit 94% for Harris.
Same. I voted on the first day of early voting, and convinced my nephew and his two best friends to cast their first (and likely last) votes. My niece is 15; I’m sure she’ll be glad to hear she “deserves” what’s coming.
Sorry, you’re part of the problem
By what logic? Unless you think that participating in the electoral process at all makes you complicit in the outcome whatever it is this doesn’t really tally.
It’s the sarcasm they reacted to.
Explain.
Explain what?
Obviously explain your garbage response that a Harris voter who got others to vote for Harris is part of the problem.
No thanks
