I almost can't blame them. A majority of Americans voted for fascism and racism. These are their customers.

A majority of American citizens who voted...that's an important distinction. Roughly 29% of voting age american citizens and 22% of all american citizens - a sizeable minority but a minority nonetheless - voted for fascism and racism.

Well the ones who didn't vote obviously weren't too bothered by fascism and racism either, apparently

Yeah, fair point. Or saw that both sides probably lead to the same end eventually.

Get out of here with that false equivalency bullshit. Trump's cabinet picks so far are a Russian propaganda parroter for head of CIA, an anti-vax and raw milk advocate for Health and Human Services, a white supremacist tattooed person for Defense secretary and a suspected pedophile that is having their ethics hearing results blocked for Attorney General.

Do you even think for a hot second that Harris would have make such unqualified and toxic choices for her cabinet?

The “almost” in this statement is absolutely crucial. Nicely done.
