>... even if US voters can't. Because blanket generalizations suck, I'll point out that 48.34% of voters did recognize a con artist.

  >Alternatively, 48.34% were gullible... Oh, look! More blanket generalizations that ignore the very much discussed discourse around Biden's faculties, the democratic party's tactics during their campaign and shift towards Harris, and the many nuances behind why people chose to vote for Harris as opposed to Trump.

      I've made no generalizations. I simply used OP's con artist phrase to highlight the fact that not all voters did what OP intimated. I'm sure that there are those who voted for Trump that did feel he was a con artist, to use one example. Perhaps slapping some quotes over "recognize a con artist" in my first comment would've helped clarify things.

Not nearly high enough. And the rest of the world is watching a good chunk of that disapproving half sit on their thumbs while he tears the country apart.

Maybe higher--I think you may have ignored third party candidates. 50.2% voted for someone other than Trump.

  I hope you know how funny it is to accuse American third party voters of being able to identify a con.

Oh knock it off. As an American this mentality is so dumb. It's not a gotcha. It just shows how many Americans either voted for him or didn't vote at all, which is a vote for trump. So really, the vast majority of Americans, in practicality, voted for trump.

    Nice try on taking the high road. The honest truth is that americans voted against democrats, not for republicans. Your mentality shows how ignorant people are willfully being. Many people sat out the election because all candidates were garbage, and democrats made it worse. Democrats put up a BLACK WOMAN as their candidate and then acted surprised that a majority of americans said "no thanks". Then democrats like to act like "Oh we would have won if more people just voted", which ignores the reality of what happened.

      >Nice try on taking the high road. For what it's worth, I don't disagree with some of what you're saying. I just don't feel like it's productive to engage with someone who starts off a conversation by telling someone to "Knock it off" and then proceeds to call their perspective dumb. I'm happy to chat, but your attitude and tone suggest that your heels are firmly dug in and you aren't actually interested in a constructive dialogue. I could be wrong, but your doubling down by attacking my politeness suggests that maybe I'm not. At any rate, I'll pass. Like I said, enjoy your night!

      Was that due to racism or sexism or what?
