    Yes to what you said except we actually didn’t vote for this. Sure, way too many people voted for Trump but he only came out ahead because of voter purges and voter suppression tactics that republicans have been using for years. Also the concentrated propaganda from Fox, talk radio, and social media made sure that half of voters aren’t even aware of reality.

    To be clear, this is different than the “stop the steal” lies that maga was telling in 2020. This is about systemic ways that republicans have an unfair advantage in elections.

    Here’s one article about that, there are others.

      Not to mention the substantial circumstantial evidence that Musk bought his position as co-president via hacking voting machines I have doubts the Republicans actually won anything at all.

        Just remember, our voting machines were proven to be vulnerable to first hand attacks.

        It’s a good thing no enemies of the United States had their hands all over them during a sham “audit” of the last legitimate election we will ever have…

      Voter suppression doesn’t absolve 90 million eligible people from not voting. Non voters suck and need called out for complicity.
