people? Trump won the popular vote. Most voters wanted him

America is a fascist country already. The fascist plurality turned out in droves to support a guy who was saying what they believed.

Liberals watched this groundswell of fascist support begin to crest and turned to Dick fucking Cheney to bail them out. And then when they lost, 76M to 73M, in a contest of New Fascism versus Fascism Classic, their response was to... blame Muslims, Latinos, and Trans People.

Conservatives, meanwhile, decided to use their big electoral win to checks notes normalize pedophilia.

Fucking hell, this country sucks.
