    We kinda fucked up electing Biden… If it would have been 8 years of straight Trump he would be decaying on a pike right now.

      honestly you aren’t wrong, but i know that i personally thought that once we got someone “normal” back in charge, people wouldn’t want to go through that ever again and Trump would be lost to history. I’m still a little shell shocked that this is our reality instead

        Same. I didn’t expect Kamala to lose. I thought it would be close, but even losing the popular vote? I would have thought the Tweeting trauma from his first term would have been enough to stop people from voting. Just constant drama, nonstop national anxiety, plus add in the known quantity that was project 2025… In fact I believed that so much that I put some money on Kamala to win and hedged it with Trump to win, but lose popular vote (which was an insane 2.5x payout)…

        Yeah, maybe Musk did rig the election… But even if he did, way too many people still naturally voted for Trump. 36.5% of people voted him in MA… The most liberal state most people think of. That’s just crazy to me.
