    I really need people to start understanding that that’s not how electing presidents works in the U.S. first off, this guy only one the popular vote once, ever and it was REAL close. Secondly, we don’t have mandatory voting in this country and abstaining doesn’t count as a vote, so you’re talking about a percentage of a percentage here.

      Thirdly you can still buy funny hats that aren’t MAGA.
      Your defense of Americans reeks of desperation. It’s not that I don’t understand you, but it sounds like you are a bit in denial.

        Denial? I’m living in it dude!! And it’s much worse than it looks from the outside. I’m just trying to tell you that the “majority of Americans” did not, in fact, vote for this. Just imagine saying that about ANY other group of people living under an oppressive regime. And even if it was the the majority, so what? The minority gets thrown to the side because the happened to be here? You have a very narrow point of vidw on this, is what I’m saying.
