    A majority of people voted for Trump, and the elections were not rigged. Maybe you’re not among them, but the fact that you live in the same country as them means that you share the responsibility.

    If you don’t want to share it, organize and fight back. There’s still time left before the US becomes a police state comparable to Russia or China.

      This is not true.

      • 75,019,230 (48.34% of the electorate) voted Harris
      • 77,303,568 (49.81% of the electorate) voted Trump
      • 2,878,359 (1.85% of the electorate) voted for a third party candidate

      https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/elections/2024

      A plurality of the electorate voted for this administration, not a majority.

      In the 2024 presidential election, 73.6% (or 174 million people) of the citizen voting-age population was registered to vote and 65.3% (or 154 million people) voted according to new voting and registration tables released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

      https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025/2024-presidential-election-voting-registration-tables.html

      So of the 238 million voting age citizens, 77 million (32% of the voting age citizens) voted for this administration

      Lol. “I organized and fought back, so now what has already happened is magically not my responsibility anymore”? What kind of magical thinking is this?
