330M Americans and 77M of them voted for Trump while 75M voted for Harris. The 77M were distributed across a selection of states with 312 EC votes, which is why he won. Harris’s 75M would have carried her if she’d traded a few hundred thousand votes in Texas or Florida for a winning balance in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. This, despite the fact that nobody voted for Harris in the primaries.
To say “the Americans voted for this” puts far too much credit on the dysfunctional, byzantine, and ultimately anti-populist presidential selection system. Americans don’t get to decide their president in any meaningful capacity. Not to get all annoyingly-conservative with the talking points, but we really do live in a Roman-style Republican more than a Greek-style Democracy.
He loses nothing tho, it’s the american people he’s pissing on.
And there’s definitely a lot splashing over onto Canadians.
And, unfortunately, the President represents the people.
You mean the people who chose him, knowing full well he’d do this?.. oh no!
Theses piss enjoyers don’t count as real people
And all the people that didn’t choose him :/
We didn’t choose him either, but we gotta deal.
I mean they voted for it so shrugs. This was a policy he campaigned on.
