Trump is currently sitting at 75.6 million votes, with a few states still finishing off their counts. His 2020 total was 74.2 million. He's not only already got more votes than he did in 2020, but he's on track to eclipse that amount even further. Meanwhile Harris is at 71 million vs Biden's 81 million. So yeah, Dem voters didn't show up because the lives of their fellow Americans don't really mean anything to them, but either some of them flipped for Trump or more people who typically sit out elections showed up for him. The numbers show Trump did get more popular. This is apparently what our country wants.

I don't think that MAGA is an existential threat to democracy, or to Americans' lives. If it were, Pres. Biden would do something about it, right? Like, maybe, lock them up. Or at least say so. He certainly wouldn't be planning to just hand over the reins and walk away.

(P.S. If you can't tell if the above is serious, then why couldn't millions of voters actually think this way?)
