Remember last time Trump was in power our feeds were full of Republicans behaving poorly in public? (in between the police beating protesters through most of 2020) - looks like we're going to get that back again now.

their perception of how welcome their violence is intensified, too. the movement that killed Heather Heyer considers themselves ascendent. last time they had the electoral college and not the popular vote. this time, thanks to 10mil likely democrat voters who cculd swallow their pride for joe biden in 2020 but not for kamala harris in 2024, the very worst people on earth consider their view point to be the norm

Not 10 million. As of today (all votes still not counted) trump leads the popular vote by 2,557,324. That's 49.9% to 48.3%. Current vote count: https://www.reuters.com/graphics/USA-ELECTION/RESULTS/zjpqnemxwvx/president/

Not that the popular vote matters in who wins, but it's nice to know he didn't get a true majority of all votes cast. 1.8% of votes were 3rd party, more than the difference between trump and Harris. If the amount of those votes that were "to teach the Dems a lesson" were added to the ones where POTUS was left blank to "teach the Dems a lesson", well ... anyway.
