You didin't owe them your vote. 

They wanted it? 

They should have earned it by advocating for the things you wanted

And yet Trump's platform is seemingly very popular with Americans.

Yeah this sub is going to want to browbeat about Gaza and how the campaign should’ve gone further left but the reality is the country is much more comfortable with fascism than we want to admit. This isn’t 2016. People are mad af that they can’t buy a house and that their eggs are more expensive or whatever, add in massive propaganda on social media about immigrants being evil and that’s really difficult to overcome
