I would argue the majority of voters did actually want this. Anyone who voted third party in the presidential race was at the very least fine with this. By not casting a vote for the only person who could possibly defeat Trump, Trump became our President.
They got to keep their ideological purity though. I guess that will keep them warm at night when it's their turn to get rounded up.
- tombert 1y agoI think a lot of people, for reasons that will forever remain unclear to me, didn’t genuinely think Trump would do any of the stuff he said he would do. I heard a lot of people say that he wasn’t serious about tariffs for example. But I don’t want to pretend I understand what compels people to vote for people that I don’t like. Maybe the majority of people really did want to have RFK Jr. in charge all of our health stuff.

- tombert 1y agoMight be useful to put some commas or something. I thought you were saying that 244 million voted for Trump.
