        Don’t forget the gerrymandering and efforts to make it unreasonably difficult for people to vote.

      remember, less than 50% of people who voted voted for him. Over a million more people voted for Hillary than Trump. Largest loss in both % and people in history, I think (for a winning presidential election).

      Yeah, unfortunately I’m aware. Of course it’s just making it more obvious every day that 50% of the population are below the average intelligence.

        Well yeah, that’s how averages work. But what isn’t obvious is why so many trump followers are intentionally and proudly ignorant, going so far as to attack education as being nothing but indoctrination

        There’s a big overlap between trump followers and conspiracy theorists

          Agreed… It’s unfortunate that we’re finding out so many people didn’t take their education seriously.

          Aww aren’t you cute, advocating for following someone who already tried to destroy democracy once and is telling everyone he plans to do it again. One of these candidates has actually quoted Nazi propaganda, and the other has actually made your life better. Maybe you should put more thought into your attempts at slurs.
