American voters did this. American voters did this. And in case I didn't mention it, "American voters did this." [View all]

OK, first off, we don't know, and will probably never know, exactly what Trump meant when he "thanked" Musk after the election, saying "Elon knows those vote-counting computers."

We know that, on paper, 77 million Americans voted for Trump, 74 million for Harris, and 90 million Americans sat out the election.

That's BEFORE we know about any "tomfoolery," and we may stay in the dark forever on that.

SO...while it may seem like ignorance on my part, I can't see past 77 million + 90 million Americans being personally responsible for where we are at right now.

Trump ran on lowering food prices. We knew he was never going to do that.

He ran on "I AM YOUR RETRIBUTION," which meant "I'm going to seek revenge for my real and imagined issues, and fuck you."

He ran on deporting as many brown people as possible. Actually, it was President Stephen Miller who ran on that, with Trump nodding in agreement.

WE KNEW THAT, with John Roberts' "total immunity" benediction in his pocket, that we'd get a MUCH WORSE VERSION of Trump with ALL OF THE GUARDRAILS GONE. No more "adults in the room" to talk him down from his worst impulses. WE KNEW ALL OF THAT.

And, America said "Please, SIR, we want some MORE." Most of this came from big beefy rugged buffed men who sobbed uncontrollably. But whatever the demographic, VOTERS DID THIS. They INVITED the vampires back into the house.

ALL of these people...Trump, Vance, Musk, Bondi, Patel, Pirro, Hegseth...EVERY ONE OF THEM would have sought the path that would reward them for being their own worst selves.

AMERICAN VOTERS PROVIDED THAT PATH.

I don't like seeing people suffer. And it accomplishes nothing by pointing the finger at the people who made this possible, but I will not give American voters a pass,

They should have known better. Maybe they did and went for this anyway. BUT THEY WENT FOR IT. And yeah, maybe Musk "helped." I don't think we'll ever know. And if we do, it will be too late to do anything about it, because like all of us, every player involved will eventually head off to their own dirt naps and will be free forever from the legal noose.

We have a chance to make it right, starting in November. NO...I WILL NOT COWER IN FEAR over the "possibility" of Trump either canceling the Midterms OR flipping the resuilts in Republicans' favor, if they lose. We already know what he attempted in his first term. BECAUSE OF JOHN ROBERTS, he'll attempt much worse THIS TIME. I'm planning to vote ANYWAY.

End of rant.
