Yeah, I can get the first time to a degree (still think he’s a pos). But seriously, seeing his first regime, who the fuck would vote for him a second and potentially third time??
We have a large portion of the population that is undereducated, which leads to lack of critical thinking skills and media illiteracy. Unfortunately we also have a large population in the south that is brainwashed by Christian nationalism, which the Republicans gladly pander to. These people are lied to on a daily basis by nothing short of propaganda in our news media.
I believe that people latch onto him because he has very simplistic messaging that they can understand. They are told and believe that he is good and will help them and the country’s economy. That or they’re downright racist and just want immigrants to be deported.
This coupled with our somewhat rigged electoral college system causes things like this to happen in our country. Many of us don’t like it and would like the electoral college to be abolished. However, the Republicans know that without it they would never win, so it stays. Our largest population centers ALWAYS lean heavily Democrat. The “land” that votes in our federal elections would never stand a chance without the EC.
I don’t really understand how one persons vote can be less important than someone else’s who lives in a rural area. But yeah, I know. In smart, educated centres, the democrats lead. It’s only the uneducated people they vote for repubes. Crazy to think
If there’s one thing those kind of people excel at, it’s being told exactly what to do.
I’d love if we could have ranked choice and/or just purely popular vote. But yeah as it stands the lower population states get extra points in federal elections for “fairness.” This is how Trump won the first time; he lost the popular vote but still won the election. That wasn’t the case the second time, but it still doesn’t make much sense that that can happen.
And they’ll let him win a third time too. There will be complaining and social media posts, but I won’t be remotely surprised when he doesn’t leave office.
Thank Aileen Cannon for that. And Elon and Putin putting their thumb on the scale for vote tabulation. No one fucking wanted this other than die hard maga idiots who are fewer in number than the media (social or traditional) make it seem like.
Fuck Americans for letting this asshole win a second time.

Please no! I can’t take a third round of “people should know what Trump said”.
