Summary
Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the 2024 election leaves no room for ambiguity or an “asterisk” in his legitimacy, as he won both the popular vote and the Electoral College.
This outcome represents a clear mandate from American voters, who knowingly chose Trump’s policies and approach.
The anticipated results include pardons for January 6 participants, attacks on the press, and an administration filled with controversial figures.
By voting for Trump, Americans prioritized divisive rhetoric over democratic values, accepting the resulting turmoil.
I hate this take so much. I have been a good person all of my life, went out of my way to think of others and their feelings, never been in trouble, always followed the rules, worked hard to get to where I am at, and you’re telling me that I deserve this bullshit? Makes it all feel so worthless to have dedicated my time and energy for something that apparently no one else can even muster sympathy. Fuck man.
Just world fallacy…
Life is fucked up. We are lucky just to live in a time where we survive past 25, let alone have electricity, let alone have the Internet…
Nobody “deserves” anything. Life is chaos.
Easy there. Simple misuse of language on the first poster’s part.
Republican nazis deserve it. A few stripes of non-nazis who were so god damn dumb they functioned like their allies in ways that were extremely easy to see also deserve it.
The people who did the right thing don’t deserve it. You don’t.
Just linguistic issues about generalizations and groups. That’s all. Rage makes verbal aim shaky.
It simply comes down to “it didn’t matter.” Not in the collective sense, not in the long haul. I have no doubt the people you impacted appreciated it, I appreciate you even, but to the rest it just wasn’t enough.
