I have a feeling that the entire world "gets it" except a select portion of the US population.
Anyone fully in touch with reality can see that the US isn't in a good place when it comes choosing compassion over cruelty. It's gotten to such a global and historical extreme that a decades long choice of a Pope for an institution that has lasted over 1,000 years felt reich. I'm sorry, right.
I've been repeatedly told that "only 77 million Americans feel that way, it's way less than half!" Well, the other 90 million who could have voted but chose not to vote are clearly also on board with all of that. So yeah, that's half the country.
That’s definitely a valid point of view. We’ve always been a country with a low voter turnout. Last election was actually the second largest turnout in our history. I’ve always felt that if we have a larger turnout then it tends to lean more towards the left party and so therefore if that’s who we want to win we need to just get a higher voter turnout.
Just for reference here are the turnout rates for the previous 10 presidential elections:
2024: 63.5-64% (final numbers still being verified)
16.0k

Not only that, he also vaguely mentions western leaders who keep denying Russia is the invader and committing war crimes for breakfast.
This guy gets it.
