Why bother? Majority of Americans asked for Trump. You guys literally asked for this.
Way to completely disregard the more than 72 million people who voted against him
268 million people either voted for him or didn’t care if he was your next president. I’m sorry to say you guys literally asked for this. 72 million is a minority.
Just dripping with empathy
I've always suspected Vader fans to be fascists.
~75M people out of ~340M asked for this. That's like 22% of the population. The rest of us absolutely did not ask for this.
They did by not fucking voting.
The country did vote for it though.
Only those 75ish million. No more, no less.
Although it’s also worth noting that not everyone who voted for Trump supports everything he does. In fact I suspect most don’t, but they’ve been fooled into thinking his “business acumen” will make their lives materially better.
He lies all the time so they don't actually have any idea what he's going to do. The sad thing is they know that and voted for him anyway.
75 million people decided they wanted this, a bit less than that decided they didn't, and the remainder decided they did not care enough about their country to give their opinion either way
I’d buy this in 2016 but not 2024. There is literally no excuse.
