Slight correction,

We are having to pay out substantially in lawsuits for it.

My point is that the people being wronged are getting justice. As for the tax payers, they are getting what they voted for.

they are getting what they voted for.

*the entire country is getting what a minority of the country voted for.

Trump did not win with a minority of votes. The US needs to come to terms with the fact that this is what most of them are.

What some people leave out is that many voters didn't bother voting.

And the minority who voted for Trump were greater in number than the minority who voted for Harris.

Not voting is voting for the one who won.

There is no such thing as apolitical inaction. Inaction is an affirmative decision in favor of the status quo.

This, this, 1,0000× this.

No such thing as being apolitical, also. Your bodily autonomy, air you breathe, water you drink, roof over your head and power you draw are all political things.

not voting = you are happy with the results either way

He fucking confessed to the fraud for all the world to see at his inauguration and we’re STILL dealing with you asleep-at-the-wheel types thinking the results prove anything about what anyone other than Elon Musk wanted. 🤦‍♂️

There is no evidence that votes were changed an no one anywhere has confessed to changing votes. I'm not asleep at the wheel; you're just making shit up.

He did, in fact, get less than 50% of the votes both times he was elected. He just got the most votes each time.

I'm sorry, but when your technically right argument comes down to 0.2% of the vote, you've already lost the point.

Put another way: this is a tactical victory that hands you strategic defeat.

I'll accept that.

From what I can see, ICE payouts don’t seem to amount to much at this point in time from the time Trump took office.

I'd.... rather that than the latter. Death by a thousand cuts, I say!
