In summary - all my grumpiness at the DNC and Kamala for ignoring the left again was still miles short of what would have propelled me to vote for Trump or enable a Trump win.

Yeah, as I said, even I though Kamala would win despite everything because Trump is... well, Trump, and I honestly did not think anywhere near this many people would vote for him again. If yesterday someone had told me he was going to win the popular vote, I would not have come anywhere close to believing them. It's extremely depressing to see how many people still choose to vote for Trump and back him after everything he has done and said he was gonna do.

I find it very odd you thought that. The people who voted for him are primarily the people who voted for him in 2020. no? similar level of votes. the indifferent souls didn't turn out this time because democrats did democrat things.

Well, Jan 6 happened after the 2020 elections, and Trump has got nuttier and more openly extreme. His rallies and speeches this year leading up to the elections have been on a different level. I though more republications would be rethinking their choice to back him at this point, enough that Kamala could win despite a poor performance. Unfortunately, I was very wrong about that.

Jan 6th was done by his base. oi. humbaba.... I'd give you a hug if i could. I just wish the democrats hadnt been so willing to throw their supporters under the bus chasing phantoms.
