This is the third election in a row that Trump ran for president. Are you saying he wasn’t fascist before?

But the electoral college is dumb and pointless. This is the first time a Republican won the popular vote since 2004, or since 1988 if you don’t want to count an incumbent victory. That alone should tell you plenty about the state of the country right now.

But how do you count “didn’t vote”?

I didn’t, that’s voter turnout and probably won’t be fully available till all the votes are counted. If you’re impatient though, here’s the washington post comparing 2024 voter turnout to 2020.

Across the country, it was Trump: 71,825,780 Everyone else: 69,303,000

It says at the top of the page it was last updated a day ago, but I kind of doubt the numbers will change too dramatically.

Taking the data from here and throwing it in a spreadsheet, Trump got more votes than everyone else combined, including the Libertarian party, RFK Jr, and Write-ins.

The key to defeat fascism is not voting for fascism.

Are you implying Harris was also fascist, or are you just complaining that not enough people voted for her? If it’s the first, then fine. But if it’s the second, what do you think Harris could have done to earn more votes?

Or are you saying that racism and misogyny in the US is just that much stronger than our anti-fascist beliefs? That there’s no amount of good policy and campaign promises that a woman could give that would ever be enough to beat fascism?

Supporting Israel is what Trump did too and even worse than Harris.

So the key to beating fascism in your mind was to platform the same policies, but a little less? What do you actually think Harris should have done differently that would have helped her win the election? Because clearly, doing the same thing but slightly less bad didn’t work this time.

They don’t have the morally high ground. They chose to help a fascist get to power.

Kamala Harris, the Democratic Presidential Nominee, lost. Because of her poor campaign tactics, she allowed a fascist to get into power. Are you equally upset with her for not doing what it takes to stop fascism?

If not, why was the “right answer” for this election to support Israel when we know that she lost following that tactic, and not supporting Palestine?

Those women probably attacked his tender, tiny digits with their powerful genitals for street cred.

This makes it look like a pretty clear case of sarcasm to me.

And after googling DARVO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO it becomes even clearer.
