The DOJ, Congress and the courts all should have stopped this. The fact is a HUGE chunk of America knows fuckall about the government or how governing works (Lemmy is no exception). The public chose fascism.

The public chose fascism.

The Electoral College chose fascism. For all your pedantry you lose points on precision.

If we are being pedantic the electoral college did so because of the electorate.

I don't think you have a strong grasp on the electoral college. Nor do you understand how the vote is suppressed in the US and the fact that population center votes count for less than rural ones.
