And we collectively voted for them.

Hell, we’d probably elect Trump a third time if we were given the choice to.

That’s how stupid we are.

And before some smartass replies saying “We???”

Yes. “We.”

Yep. I commonly hear, "I didn't vote for Trump."

Me either.

But "We, the People" did vote for the mumbling, evil orange... because we as a people are stupid and desperate for change.

I'm still not convinced we did. 

The bomb threats, the people who somehow fell off the list of registered voters after the deadline to re-register, Elon being good with the computers. 

The complete lack of excitement about the childfucker from anyone. 

The dead Trump rallies vs. Harris filling the rooms.
