Yes. 70 million did and that should give you pause for concern.

Trump is popular. Why? If it's well known that he's a liar and he's making thngs up (and it is) what motivation do they have for sticking with him? Could it be that they've been ignored by neo-liberal politics for too long?

SOME Republicans have spent four years insulting democrats. But SOME democrats call everyone who doesn't agree with them a fascist and racist.

They haven't refused to deal with covid, they don' believe it's a problem. That's to do with their own echo chamber and bubble.

Neither group has stopped their endless insults. You've continued to insult them in your reply to me.

Who are the THEY you're saying should be apologising. You want 70,000,000 people to come to you specifically with an apology that they've seen the error of their ways? That you were right all along. And you want them to do that whilst you're being so friendly and welcoming?

THEY can think all those things are wrong and still vote republican.... because they happen to think other things are more important.

Agreed on the complex people. Now apply to both sides and all echo chambers.

Donald Trumps contradictions are highlighted only in YOUR echo chamber. In their echo chamber, these are not contradictory word salads. They are prounouncements. They do not see the same world you do - insisting that they do misunderstands the problem facing democracy. They aren't simple minded fools - they have a completely different world experience because of social media.

TLDR: everyone has different views; screaming them at each other as though everyone is responsible for everything the other side says or does, won't help. Why not try talking instead?
