    Unfortunately a majority of Americans voted for this. The “rest of us” is actually a minority group. Maybe we are the majority now with this war, but a little over a year ago we were not.

      The majority absolutely did not vote for this. Not only did a massive chunk of the population not even vote, but among those who did vote, Trump got less than 50% of those votes

        This is also a choice. And in 2024 it was absolutely obvious that it’s a choice for Trump.
        Majority, supermajority even, either wanted Trump to be an absolute leader, or was OK with it.

          You need to get out more. Or educate yourself on the issue. Believe it or not, it’s not always a choice. That’s just a fact of life here in the US that getting out or self-education will help you realize.

            No amount of smug filler will transform into an argument.
            Vast, overwhelming majority of non-voters were people who decided that preventing Trump from becoming the owner of their country isn’t worth an hour or two of their time. You can be salty about this all you want, you can insult whomever you want about it, it’s not going to be less true.

            77M voted for Trump against 75M for Harris. So the majority voted for Trump, despite everyone telling them what a shitshow it would be. Which we can now witness on a daily basis.

      The left: war is bad, because it hurts people. The right: we died enough for foreign issues. The rulling parties: did you say…more war?
