    How do you figure?

    The establishment literally was Biden not bowing out after his 1st term, as he’d promised.

    The establishment was not giving voters a choice in picking a candidate, and rather anointing Kamala Harris.

    The establishment was having Harris run one of the worst campaigns in modern history with the largest war-chest (over $1.5B) at her disposal.

    The establishment was setting up a candidate to lose, because they don’t care about winning; they care about maintaining the status quo.

    The establishment is absolutely why we got Trump 2.0. How do you not see that?

      Because “the establishment” doesn’t get a ballot. The people do.

      People. Voted. For. That. Thing.

          Sure. But I’ve seen enough red hats, and pickup trucks or front porches with flags to know people voted for this misery. It’s not impossible that MAGA cheated; dishonesty is in their nature - it’s actually “cheating” to say one thing and do another. However I don’t believe that they needed to cheat very hard.

          I think the vote was pretty close, and that your country is just full of horrible people.

            Pay attention. I dunno about your area, but those trump flags and maga hats have all but disappeared where I live. They’re being squeezed as well, and some will break ranks.

              Of course they have, it’s not election season. Only the especially crazy crazies will continue tondisplay these signs indefinitely, but there are plenty of slightly kess crazy crazies who had them up during election season and voted for the mango-colored child rapist.

                Around where I live of the homes and businesses that have perpetually had trump stuff up since 2015 no longer have any trump stuff up. I think he might be losing his base…
