    I would argue that the supermajority weren’t fine with this result, these real life consequences, but were under a collective cope/delusion that “Killer Kamala” was a “weak woman” but also a warhawk who just wanted to genocide lots of people in Gaza and prolong the war in Ukraine, and Trump was going to bring peace and prosperity and lower the cost of living.

    Americans are mostly stupid, poorly educated, gullible, and easily deceived by low effort promises.

      If they couldn’t take their collective heads out of their assess for the 5 nanoseconds it should take to see through Trump’s crusty veneer, then they were, in fact, fine with it.

      “I didn’t care”, “I didn’t know”, and any other form of ignorance is inexcusable, especially after his first term in office. Did they think he’d changed somehow?

        Fuzzy memories after 4 years of anti-Democrat propoganda, remember overwhelmingly Americans use social media that backs Trump (X, Meta, TikTok), to the point that even US “leftists” were all in anti-“blue MAGA”.

        It’s classic manufactured consent. That’s why FAFO was trending after election. Americans don’t know what they voted for. They are about to find out - the hard way.
