    I almost can’t blame them. A majority of Americans voted for fascism and racism. These are their customers.

      A majority of American citizens who voted…that’s an important distinction. Roughly 29% of voting age american citizens and 22% of all american citizens - a sizeable minority but a minority nonetheless - voted for fascism and racism.

        Well the ones who didn’t vote obviously weren’t too bothered by fascism and racism either, apparently

            Or saw that both sides probably lead to the same end eventually.

            Get out of here with that false equivalency bullshit. Trump’s cabinet picks so far are a Russian propaganda parroter for head of CIA, an anti-vax and raw milk advocate for Health and Human Services, a white supremacist tattooed person for Defense secretary and a suspected pedophile that is having their ethics hearing results blocked for Attorney General.

            Do you even think for a hot second that Harris would have make such unqualified and toxic choices for her cabinet?

              Eventually, not immediately. Harris would have been vastly more sane, more status quo. But it would’ve been kicking the can…even if Trump lost now, another Trump would run - and win - down the road. At least with Trump the insanity is out in the open. I mean these cabinet picks are insane. It would be funnier if we didn’t have to live with the consequences.
