I legitimately did not believe it was possible for this to happen. There’s always a hateful minority but I believe people as a whole are good. How did this happen?

      He got effectively the same amount of votes as 2020.

      She got 10-12MM LESS than Biden in 2020.

      They simply failed while Trump went sideways.

        It is not safe to assume that if 12 million more people voted, they all would have voted for Kamala.

        It is safe to say that if 70 million fewer people voted for Trump, Trump doesn’t win.

        Regardless of how many people did or didn’t vote for Harris, or Stein, or RFK, or whoever, that doesn’t change the fact that 70 million Americans saw Trump and decided “yes, more of that please”.

        Not to mention that GOP has taken Senate and likely to hold House. This is speaking to the wants of the average American voter. They spoke loud. They want this.
