Most of the nation doesn’t want this, the problem is that the 30-40% that do are the ones who actually go to the voting booths. Worse, they show up armed to the voting centers and stand around intimidating people under the guise of “ensuring security” or some other bullshit

To be fair, he didn't win the popular vote and probably won't again. He'll still get elected because of our fucked up rules, though.

I can. My fellow countrymen are fucking idiots who literally believe every lie they're fed as long as they get it from someone with the magic (R) next to their name. The intended result of having a dogshit educational system.
