I am genuinely disgusted at how this could even happen like this. He got the popular vote? By 5 million?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago

Oh its worse then that.

Just winning would be bad, but with the popular vote that is a mandate.

Having a clear mandate would be very bad but the house/senate would both need to go red to be able to execute the sort of mandate promised. You know that thing that also happened.

Yeah, it wasn't even the electoral college fucking us. He straight up won, by a significant amount too.

He's lost at everything in his life, despite trying so much and having every advantage. At a certain point the law of large numbers has to kick in.

And the one time he does it's because of nazis lol. Still not really a victory.

It's going to take awhile to correctly process this

don't worry, we'll have plenty of time to process the impacts of this when the work camps open up.

I am finding it very hard to not make the "work will set you free" joke since until yesterday it was enough in the past to be both a chilling reminder and a bit funny. But now, I am too concentrated on the potential future.
