Americans are why America can’t have nice things.
It’s not like he stole the presidency. He got elected.
Not convinced that they didn’t cheat.
Even if he did cheat, it was a plausible result. Roughly 50% of Americans either support him or at least are less opposed to him than they are to Kamala Harris and the democrats.
A big reason why so many other countries are pulling away from the US isn't just because Trump is the president and is tearing up treaties, etc. It's because this is the 2nd time he's been elected, and this is proof that the US can no longer be trusted. Even if say AOC wins the next election and it's 8 years of progressivism, environmentalism, monopoly busting, the rebuilding of a social safety net, great relationships with allies, etc, that doesn't mean anything. The election after that could be Eric Trump, and everything could go to shit again.
In the past elections meant a shifting of US priorities, but it still meant that the US would follow through on commitments. Now it's clear that that's no longer true, and that kind of rule-breaking is fully supported by approximately half the US.
o rly?
Regardless of whether or not he was fairly elected, far, far too many people definitely did vote for him. Even when he's gone we'll still have a lot of people looking to be his successor, and a lot of people willing to support them. It's not a problem we can ignore just because there's a good chance that only 40-something percent of the country wants a fascist in charge.
there were definitely signs he actually rigged it, its just the DNC refuses to actually call them out or investigate themselves, because they allowed the right wingers to call out rigged elections for so long that if the DEMs did, it, it will confirm the right wingers that it was rigged in the first place.
