      They should have voted to prevent this, but only half of them did. They other half lived through the first Trump admin and decided that it was not worth a few minutes of their time to prevent it. They didn’t have to cross an ocean or fight a war… they needed to visit a website to get registered and the mail a form (or stand in line for a while) to vote, and they didn’t.

      In other words, only 1/3 of Americans voted against this.

        Musk cracked the counters. Trump candidly admited to exactly that about 53m into one of his “inauguration” speels.

      A large part of voting age Americans didn’t care enough either way.

            This is “angry people can become malicious no matter what they believe in”-theory.

              You suckers are fighting over what didn’t happen. That was a cracked election counter. Listen to the inuguration at 53m. Candidly admits. This is theft amd nothing less. Everything is just a story of bullshit story by the CIA that in the same way it flings everywhere is it tries to flip their elections to purchased pigs.

      Voter turnout was 64% which means 36% of Americans didn’t give enough of a shit to vote. Combine that with those who did vote for Trump and yeah, more than 2/3rds of Americans may as well have voted for it

      Edit: the distinction may not matter to you but it does to the countries your country is fucking over
