None of which was unanticipated. People had been warning voters about the danger to our democracy long before the election and a huge number of Americans decided that they really didn't care about protecting our democracy.

- vkou 1y agoLook, if you're going to make voters in Red America choose between democracy and voting for a Republican, they are going to pick the latter 100% of the time. It's just not important to them. If it were, they wouldn't have first primaried in, and then showed up for the guy in 2024[1]. --- [1] I can forgive 2016 and 2020, since at that point, his behavior wasn't that far out of bounds. Since then, he's moved on to conspiring with fraudulent electors, trying to rig vote counts, arresting and imprisoning people without trial, and looking to suspend habeas corpus. Not to mention pay-to-play for access, and treating the treasury like his own personal slush fund.
