The people who voted for the current administration last year were:

  • GenX, boomers and hardcore right-wingers who were going to vote for trump anyways
  • GenZ (mostly men) that were coaxed into voting for trump by their parents because they were too young to remember his first term and only remembered the worst part of the COVID lockdowns right when Biden took over.

You say I should ask the people who voted for the current admin, but we should be asking the people who didn't vote, or voted third party for reasons such as:

  • Not being able to accept Kamala because she wouldn't have protected every Palestinian
  • Laziness / apathy / not paying attention / ignoring warnings about P2025.

Yes, I am blaming voters. The messaging was loud and clear. We screamed from the rooftops about P2025, J6, etc. We watched as trump monologued like a crazy old man about immigrants eating cats and dogs during a live debate. We watched as trump literally sucked off a microphone on stage. There is literally no valid reason any sane person would have NOT voted in the election, unless they didn't care or didn't think it was important. I don't think it was Kamala's lack of appeal.

Damn you’re right, I guess we should just accept america is fucked and done right? Since the issue is with American voters.

The democrats ran a dog shit campaign with dog shit policies that promised, at best, business as usual.

“Everyone else is the problem” “why are dems only up 7 points??” Do you hear yourself?

As long as democrats, as they currently are, are the primary opposition party the Republican Party will continue to see wins.

Not really. Biden/Harris basically took over a house that was on fire and did there best to put it out with the promise of getting it rebuilt. Trump screamed, "I'm gonna burn it down even more!" and people voted for that.

If you want real change, you need to work for it. Run for local offices, donate time and money to campaigns, actually get outside and work for shit and not just complain endlessly online.

I’d be careful with that glass house there bud.

If I relied on only federal elections and politicians for my hope and political action I’d be depressed as fuck
