    Elections have consequences. Americans knew what they voted for. They fucked around and they are going to find out.

          yeah, I don’t understand why people think that it will not change anything here, first with the war next door, and we’re living on the same earth so the climate will be impacted everywhere not just locally in the US

      As much as I hate this its correct.

      With lying, external influence, racism, terrorism and general crime he was just democratically elected. Supporting democracy means that it has to be followed.

      It’s wrong, its a bad move, but its democracy.

        No, the US constitution literally has a protection for this exact scenario: the electoral college. The founding fathers knew that the general population was stupid and could fall victim to a tyrant, so the EC was supposed to vote against the popular vote if that happened. They couldn’t have forseen the internet, though.

        Our government has a responsibility to protect the country and the constitution from those who seek to destroy it, and Trump and gang seek to destroy it. They all should face a military tribunal for sedition and treason, and be hung for it.
