Maybe you don’t understand what happened and you should study this more instead of believing you’re smarter than those electors

Maybe you could enlighten me? Cause it looks to me like he won an election. I watch Trump speak and it just baffles me that anyone could possibly take him seriously. It's so abundantly clear that the guy just makes shit up on the spot, constantly. The guy lies more than he tells the truth and it's obvious. I'm not even a native English speaker and it's clear as day to me that pretty much every word out of that guy's mouth is bullshit. I watch Trump interacting with other world leaders where they're struggling to keep their composure, the stuff he says and does is so ridiculous these serious, accomplished adults are about to lose it laughing in his face because he's so ridiculous. And on top of that there's all the downright criminal stuff he pulled last time, like staging a coup, stealing classified documents (boxes and boxes worth, not just a couple sheets that fell behind the sofa), and probably a bunch of other stuff I haven't heard about. Oh and apparently he used to be besties with Epstein. You can not make this up, I almost could not imagine a worse leader. And I'm barely even paying attention to what's going on over there. On the bright side at least we're getting some good laughs out of it like when Giuliani booked a press conference at the Four Seasons Landscaping next to a porn shop. That was fun.

  You can be a smart politician and do stupid things. You can be dumb and vote for a smart politician. You can be a stupid politician and do not-that-bad-compared-to-the-smart-politician things. You can be smart and vote for a stupid politician.

    Sure, a broken clock is right twice a day. And sure, you can be smart and vote for Trump. Maybe you just genuinely want the chaos and his policies. It's probably good for some people. But it's not good for normal people. Normal people vote for Trump and then turn around and cry that their insulin and other meds are suddenly too expensive again. Lots of stuff like that. Normal people are very clearly not well served by Trump's politics. Yet they vote for him anyway and that's just stupid.

      It's always a tradeoff, it's not about the broken clock. And the most probable alternative to Trump wasn't especially good either
