That is a LIE! I get to BULLY Gay and Brown Kids now and it was TOTALLY Worth DESTROYING my Future, my Child's Future, and my Veteran Father's future to be ABLE to do That!

Probably shouldn’t let the non-voters off completely.

Do you have any reason to think that non-voters would have broken differently than voters?

Most non-voters probably saw that their state was strongly going either R or D, and correctly assumed their vote wasn't going to make a difference.

Nope, all I have is the concrete fact that they didn’t even TRY. I’m also a D in a heavily R State who knew my vote wouldn’t matter, but it does at least affect the overall count show that no, Donnie doesn’t have “overwhelming support” or a “mandate”.

If that makes you feel better, that's great. But, the rest of the world knows he does have a mandate, this is who America is now. People are just deluding themselves to try to feel better by blaming it on non-voters.

The smallest margin of victory in American electoral history is a "mandate" now

I blame many of them more than the Trumpers. Trump voters are just idiots, non-voters, however, are below the idiots. Fucking assholes.

I love quotes that agree with my stance that have no source!

My silver lining take: tRump has done more in 2 months to bring down the US Empire than any of their real or imagined enemies in the last 80 years have.

Everyone who cast a vote for DJT and everyone who didn't vote. (Close to 90 million, that's more than the population of the 25 most populous cities in the United States put together!)

Recovering from MAGA will take a long time - and we're only a couple months into this 4-year dumpster fire. But the way I see it Europe recovered from the Huns, so yeah bring it.

But try telling them that.
