    Always someone else's fault. Russians. Third parties. Misogynists. Fundies. Minorities not falling in line.

    Jesus.

    Blaming the electorate rather than the candidate is very "someone else's fault".

    But on the other hand, a candidate as blatantly dishonest and unfit for office as Trump couldn't possibly be elected without an electorate that is blatantly ignorant and shortsighted, so the electorate deserves to be blamed.

    I was curious about turnouts. I said earlier that a larger turnout would be a death knell for Trump. It looks like I was right.

    Much like 9/11, the US deserves the continued hell that a second Trump term will put us through.

    I'll happily blame the electorate.
    There's no way in hell someone who acts as Trump does should be anywhere near the oval office.
    And yet here we are.

    A majority of Americans wanted Christian fascism. You know, as a treat.

    Couldn't just be that Harris was so vapid and unlikeable she made Trump seem appealing. You people are funny.

    Not sure about this, but I do believe a majority of American Christians wanted fascism.

    That's not the only thing going on. This wasn't a referendum on Donald Trump.

    Maybe not, but it should have been. The fact that it wasn't demonstrated that there is something broken in our society.

    Translation: She has policies I don't like because she doesn't want corporations getting richer at the expense of average people, not to mention she is a woman, and a woman of colour at that.

    Yes. I know Christian fascism when I see it. I grew up in it. I know what these people want.

    Nah. You’re racist and sexist, or possibly just irredeemably stupid, if you like Donald Trump more than Harris.

    Yeah, right. Trump is a full of himself, boastful, the worst pathological liar one can imagine, a convicted criminal, a mysigonist, a rapist, and a racist. Yet somehow the character flaws of his opponents are sooo much worse, they just outweigh that.
