    In 2022 there were 161.42 million eligible voters in the US (latest number I could find)

    Trump got 77,284,118 votes

    There is 340.1 million people in the US.

    I’d say that far from all.

    But otherwise yeah I already know the Supreme Court pretty much gave him unlimited power.

      Yes all. No one stood up or this guy would not be in office. Like you said above only 77,000,000 voted for him. And the other 263 million allowed those few fascist lovers even have a say.

      He was honest and open (oddly enough) about his plans for dictatorship years in advance. Your complete society allowed this to happen. No one could have stopped it but the citizens of your country. No one can still stop it but you. Yet in years of knowing no one has organized any resistance at all. Again allowing it to happen.

      He put his Nazi goons in your capitol buildings and still no one did anything. He was convicted of dozens of crimes. He’s flaunted the law his entire life. He’s been a grifter and a cheat his entire life but you all have him one of the most popular tv shows of its time and thus a very loud voice within your celebrity culture that dominates your news cycles. You propped up his celebrity status and cheered him on for being a dickhead to people. You’ve watched him openly destroy his own businesses and bank accounts on whims multiple times yet remain extremely wealthy. No one did anything the entire time.

      Yes I blame American society as a whole, and that includes you, for encouraging and allowing this to happen from the very beginning.

        We “allowed” them. Which ignores the fact that people have a RIGHT to vote for who they WANT.but yeah that’s not important to you.

        Have fun in your delusions. Bye

          Enjoy your death camps. He tried to forcefully overthrow your government but you ALLOWED him on the ballot again. Yes allowed. You. Your family. Your neighbors. Your friends. You.

          One guy seemingly tried. Took a few shakey shots. He tried. Not sure what hellhole they dropped him in, probably dead . That guy I’ll give credit to, even though he missed. He tried.

          That’s your American exceptionalism showing through. Expecting everyone else to manage your bullshit.
