Trump made it very clear who he is and what he wants to do and voters chose him anyway,

We just like to blame everything else, for whatever reason, and they often get a relative pass.

It's actually kind of odd, but I guess when one is used to blaming everything on the media or Putin or whatever, it's easy to forget that people still ultimately have control over their votes.

a lot of people VOTED the way they did because of MISINFORMATION from the media and Putin and outright SANEWASHING

as usual, Harris was held to impossible standards while Trump was held to NO STANDARDS AT ALL

wax on a about Arnold Palmer's junk? no problem! simulate oral sex? no problem! talk non-stop fucking gibberish - NOT AN ISSUE!

we have to deal with IMMIGRANTS and TRANS FOLK!

that fearmongering bullshit WORKS

They still make the decisions. Some people are more vulnerable to misinformation than others. That doesn't change the fact that they still ultimately decide which button to pull or box to fill.

Seriously, we have to stop giving them a pass and pretending like they have no role in the process. If we just wave off every possible other motive because we're just positive that the media is the *real* problem, we'll never learn anything.

Some Trump voters are uninformed and/or unintelligent. I can accept that to some degree.
I can not accept the voters who are informed and intelligent who choose to vote for him when they know he is an amoral criminal.
These people have no moral compass or backbone just like Trump.

I really hope we start calling them out and saying "It is not OK or normal to vote for a convicted felon and sexual abuser to lead us.""
It is time to call out the people we know who are drunk on MAGA.

More than 10 MILLION people who voted in 2020 stayed home for this one. A large chunk of that were Biden voters. Just imagine where we'd be if they came back out and did for Kamala what they did for her when she was Joe's running mate. A pox on them all. They're just as bad as the Trump voters in my book.
