You missed my point. It was always clear for +90% of leftists that trump was worst.
You will not feel betrayed by your enemies but you will feel betrayed by your allies is the point.
Still there is no interest in discussing why this demographic felt betrayed, democrats were angry when trump backstabbed Zelensky rightly so, yet you cannot see how it was the same thing when the democrats were collaborating with the extermination of the people they were supposed to protect? with the extreme violence lashed out on the protest? The harassment? The doxxing? The clear avoidance of international sanctions etc.
Like come on, it would not have been my choice to not vote or vote trump but at some point we should reflect on the why and understand that the democrats acted in a shitty way and betrayed their voter base, it’s as simple as that.
To me, this feels like a retcon out of hindsight.
The entire year up to election day all I saw was posts downplaying Project 2025, Trump's authoritarianism, the threat to Democracy. Complaining that the media over-sensationalizes anything to do with trump. Accusing everyone worried about Trump that they're just hysterical. Just crazy people thinking that every election ever, Democracy is at stake. And if you vote against Trump actually you're just blue MAGA anyway with the blood of genocide on your hands.
Maybe it was clear to leftists that Trump was the worst, but leftists sure didn't make it clear to anyone else that they gave a shit.
