    And far more didn’t vote at all.

    Let’s stop acting like we’re so surprised. Millions were told repeatedly what would happen and they did. Not. Care.

    This is America. In all its ugliness. We truly need to own it because enough people here did not care.

      Thats what I said, they didn’t vote at all. Trump votes did increase but only barely. The DNC voters just stayed home because everybody shits on them online.

        Just because they voted for Biden does not mean they were registered Democrats. A lot of people turned out for Biden because we were hot off the first Trump term so a lot of leftists/progressives/independents voted for Biden when they normally wouldn’t have. Unfortunately they have memories the size of a goldfish’s or legitimately hated Biden and didn’t turn out this time and in fact worked to depress the vote as much as possible.
