Shocked, saddened here.

I can't believe Trump did so well. He'll be the first Republican to win the popular vote since 2004. He's a racist, sexist, transphobic, fascist, anti-science rapist, convicted felon, climate change-denier, and champion of the uber wealthy.

I guess there are many more deeply racist and sexist people than I wish to believe. It's BS how first-past-the-post and the electoral college systems work - it's so very easy to manipulate the system when you know the precious few key areas in advance to try to influence. Control of mainstream news and social media by the billionaire gives dis-, misinformation, and other bias so much reach to undermine democracy and voters' rational self-interest.

One thing that has helped me the teensiest bit is that even though he got the popular vote, he still got less votes than he did in 2020. It doesn't help me to know that so many people were blatantly apathetic or misogynistic or whatever we're blaming the lack of democratic votes on, but at least he got less votes than before.

Is it crazy that he'd be better if he was a five-time ultimate smackdown champion and porn superstar? Camacho actually tried to put the smartest guy on the problem.
