I'm not blaming any race, ethnicity, or culture. I'm blaming people who voted for Trump and people who didn't vote. I'll be getting T-shirts made that say, "Don't blame me. I didn't vote for the orange shitbag douche!" On the other hand, I live in a red state that went to Trump. I can't help to think that since I don't live in a battleground state, did my vote actually count or help since we still have the antiquated electoral college in play. I just hope we aren't as f#cked as I think we are.

Our Dutch public broadcasting did a piece of how small the group that actually impact the selection actually is. It's so mindboggingly small for a country which such an idiocratically large, worldwide impact.

A little over 30.000 Americans deciding the impact for the whole world (whose sheer reach I absolutely hate) was where they ended up on.

(source video, in Dutch)

In the Netherlands, a vote of mine and 69.000 others on one specific person means they're in the (Dutch equivalent of the) House. This happens quite a lot more often than one would expect.
