I have a question for people who hate Trump and the Republican party

Not thrilled TBH, because it’s one thing to disagree with someone on specific issues, but when one candidate is clear about their intentions to act against the Constitution, then I think there’s a much greater responsibility to prevent that—however one feels about immigration and foreign policy.

I see them as enabling Fascism. It's like the old saying goes, all that evil needs to succeed is for good people to do nothing.

Yeah, Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate, but electing her was how we stop Fascism in America. If you didn't vote for either of them, you did nothing to stop evil.

I am miffed, but more miffed in a general sense. Voting is something everyone should be very serious about, its one of small number of duties we owe to this country. This last election even if you were fed up with government and thought both candidates were trash, still one or the other has to be more in line with your values. Not voting just ensures your voice isn't heard and if a group that shares some of your values is in power, its purely by luck.

I hate what he's doing and that the current Republican leadership is complicit in the destruction and Fascist / "Christian" Nationalist takeover of our country. And that he's manifestly unprepared, inept, and inappropriate for that job.

I can understand, if you just looked at things from a great distance, that you could be upset with both parties and not vote.

In this case, the ~32% of the eligible voters who voter for DJT got him elected.

The real question should have been: are you willing to live with the US being destroyed by him and taken over (using the Project2025 blueprint) by an authoritarian regime...?

If you ignored all that as some sort of shrill warning just to get ppl to vote fir Democrats, then you really shirked your duty as a voter. What is going on is exactly what either DJT or Project 2025 SAID would go on...faster and on steroids, but unsurprising.

I bet a bunch of Muslim Americans who said that they'd stay home realize now that this isn't just some wild talk.

Do you?

People have their own personal reasons. I can respect that. I can even respect some of those who voted trump so long as it wasn’t for bigoted reasons.

Mostly disappointed that they didn't see the same moral imperative that I did.

Texas MAGA farmers are having a full-blown meltdown after realizing the consequences of the policies they supported. ICE raids and harsh anti-immigration rhetoric have scared off 100% of their farm workers — and now, no one is showing up to pick the crops. Farms are shutting down. Livelihoods are collapsing. And the same people who proudly voted for Trump are in tears, asking, “What do we do now?”🌽😁

I don't believe for one second that anyone didn't have a preference between a democracy that doesn't do anything for them or fascism that works against everyone.

People on the street didn't know the election date or the candidates or the issues. Americans are becoming less and less aware of their surroundings.

And now the nation is paying for those non-voters decisions.
