    This is not a helpful way of thinking.

    Yes, you are perfectly correct, a majority of Americans - either by action or by inaction - supported Trump becoming president.

    But that does not inherently mean that a majority of Americans support what Trump is doing as president. Your anger over how the election went - no matter how justified - should not be the guide through which you envision your next steps. That only leads to throwing up your hands in despair, when a more realistic understanding of the situation, driven by pragmatism rather than outrage, would acknowledge that there is a significant corpus of voters who could potentially be motivated to act against what Trump’s administration is doing. People vote, or don’t, based on assumptions about the world. The more that the reality of a second Trump presidency challenges those assumptions, the more opportunity there is to drive people to action.

    Or you can spend the rest of your life complaining about how things went down in 2024 while never actually doing anything useful. Your choice.

      I did not say Americans support what he does as president. Youre making a different point

      Whats funny is none of yall had this “that’s not helpful” attitude when it was the brits throwing themselves in the fire.
