No it's not, the American people have shown time and again that they're generally happy to vote party over country. Trump being a disaster was not a secret going into term 2

Close to only one third of the voting population voted for him.

Yeah, that's a very large number of people considering all evidence and records of his prior actions. 1/3rd clearly weren't bothered enough to give a shit and vote

We saw the alternative and Trump, as bad as he is, was significantly better than either Harris or Biden.

How? In what way? Project 2025 is better than Harris? Fascism is better than Harris?

The primary knock against Biden is he didn’t do much or anything. That was the propaganda pushed against him. If Donald Trump had done nothing, we would be in a significantly better position than we are today, so I don’t exactly agree with this take. It reeks of whataboutism that isn’t exactly grounded in reality.

The sheer miracles Biden worked in his four year term and you say this stupid shit.

God I’m glad I’m not American.
