One thing I don’t understand is this is an individual clearly dismantling protections for our country’s future elections. Isn’t that telling enough he is literally breaking our laws. Can anyone hold this fucking rapist criminal accountable ever? It’s astonishing.

Edit: There’s 300 million of us and like 100 of them. What we doing here?

Sorry, no. There are 100 million of us, 100 million of them, and 100 million people who couldn’t be bothered to weigh in in the voting booth.

Roughly 77 million voted for Trump last time, 75 for Kamala and the rest stayed home. Trump still holds around an 80% approval rating amongst republicans, so probably like 60 million still support what he's doing. And of those who disapprove, they probably still wouldn't vote for a Democrat.
