What I find disturbing

Americans voted for a russian asset, a child abuser, a woman abuser, a serial liar, and criminal, a professional con man, and a President who refuses giving emergency aid to Americans for any reason if they don't praise him, and has allowed 100's of thousands to die from refusal to stop or lessen the covid-19 response and has promoted the spread of it instead. Hopefully today we'll learn this nightmare will soon come to a end, then Justice will be restored, and served, if he doesn't corrupt the judicial system even more. That's truly disturbing seeing so many so easily conned into voting for someone so flawed, and so corrupt. It really is a sad day for this country seeing this so close now.

I am ashamed of those who voted for Trump.

They are my enemy.

They are enemies of my country.

They can not differentiate between fact or fiction.

Lots of work to be done to soften hearts and open minds.

I will never look at my countrymen the same way again. The damage that Trump inflicted on the country will take years to fix, but his open embrace by so many says something deeper and darker still about the nation. Trumpers who voted in such large numbers knew exactly what they were voting for...

Noway would Obama would have lasted an hour if he did any of the crap Trump did before 2016.He would have been disqualified before he accepted the presidential candidate.Obama would not have been there long enough to be impeached.He would have been expired.I am getting nervous about the election to 270.Why does it take this long to call when I remember Trump first term was called the same night.
