I prefer to contextualize us as we are strapped in car seats with a drunk driver at the wheel… or are the smart minority unwitting victims of kidnapping at the hands of a heavily armed majority populace.

The problem is we aren’t the MINORITY! Many of Our Majority failed us by Not voting in the last election!!!

The problem is the minority rules because of fucked up representation. California has a zillion people, but two Senators. States like the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Alaska, etc. have miniscule populations & also have 2 Senators. This leads to things like them having too much power in the

and Mitch McConnell packs the SCOTUS. Because we have to wait when a Dem is president,but e have to do it right fucking now if a Republican is president. Also, they have no morals, ethics, etc.

The Electoral College is weighted unevenly as well. The inequity is unconscionable and the people in the largest states should be screaming- AND SUING to make it right… only to be opposed by representatives of the low population states which benefit most.

But you all strapped that driver into his seat & handed him the keys. Whilst we can all rationalise & acknowledge that not all Americans are cut from the same cloth, unfortunately you are likely to be tarred by the same brush. Generally, as a nation,we now pity you but think you're gullible.

I would suggest that 'gullible' is being very generous to a large number of Americans!

We didn't "all." That's what I hope the rest of the world won't lose sight of. Nor that we have a lousy Electoral College that in most states is "winner take all." I know that doesn't explain everything, but I have my theories.

Until Donald, polls have been shown to be highly accurate… & now they’re off by 20 pts? DJT wins EVERY swing state? NOPE. Doubt it could happen w/o a StarLink sleight-of-hand. What are the odds that Elon could make something happen when he controls the satellite? He’s too honest. 🤪

NO, we didn’t. He has spent YEARS riling up the undereducated to believe in him & millionaires while blaming POC and “others”.

I don’t even think the current administration cares enough about regular people to strap seat belts on us, let alone the extra protection of car seats. While MAGA is not the majority of Americans there are way too many people with multiple guns and stockpiles of ammunition, are they the majority?
