      This is your defence? LOL

      Only 29.8% of Americans cared enough to stop a known criminal with an authoritarian bent become the last president you’ll ever have.

      31% wanted it.

      1.1% voted for someone they knew wouldn’t win.

      38.1% don’t give a shit what happens. Possibly these people were purged from voter rolls and had their vote stolen. But knowing Americans, I’d happen to guess that percent is well below .5% of the non-voter segment.

      Pathetic.

      No one said all. Don’t accuse others of ignorance when your reading comprehension is this bad. When people say Americans voted for this, it’s because they don’t let the 38% of non-voters off the hook for their passivity. Voting is a duty and their negligence led to this outcome.

        To be fair, a lot of Americans are very stupid. Living here is extremely frustrating at times…

        The larger issue is that many Americans are selfish and cruel, though. That’s why getting sick once can ruin our lives, and why working in this country can often be inhumane and awful.

        The pervasive lie here is that everyone makes it if they work hard. Good people believe this, and it’s a big part of what’s destroying us as a country.
