    Exactly how I felt about it as it was happening, fucking stop talking about his bullshit and talk about the positives of any alternative players! We know he’s bad news!

      Except that is not what is being found now. Actually, many people who voted for him didn’t actually know anything about his “bad news” because they didn’t watch the sources that were actually reporting on the truly bad stuff and now they are finding out and are regretting their decisions. In the days after the election Google reported a spike in searches related to “Changing your vote USA”.

          As I remember the sources we saw it in were in the reputable realm. I also think think many of these people voted for him to vote against Kamala (or against a woman) but didn’t actually think he would win because their vote didn’t matter.
