I was merely commenting on the verifiable result of the last US presidential election. I’m certainly aware of the events that lead up to that. On the other hand, I’m really really sick and tired of the constant excuses I’m hearing that are being made for the morons and assholes. If you voted for Trump you’re a moron and/or and asshole (usually both). No excuses. Nobody can tell me those people didn’t know what they were doing.
