Clowns doing clown things and Americans suffering for it.
But hey, the majority of voting Americans voted for it, so FAFO.
- Not quite. No presidential candidate got a majority of the popular vote. Trump got more of the popular vote than Kamala did. 49.80% and 48.33% respectively.
  Yes, I'm being pedantic. Does it really matter? No, probably not.
  
  The correct phrasing would be that he received a plurality of votes.
  
  Well yeah but basically every candidate gets more than one vote so getting a plurality doesn't mean much
  
  I suspect this was sarcasm but... A "plurality of votes" means "more than the other candidates".
  Sorry if I explained a joke.
  
  That's ok, it wasn't a great joke anyways
- FAFO indeed, liberals. This is what decades of your ideology has enabled.
  Enjoy!
  
  This comment make so little sense, I can only assume you're mentally handicapped.
  First of all, no party has maintained power for decades. Secondly, how would decades of liberal ideology be responsible for Republican's traitorous actions?
  
  brain dead take
  
  Typical ml user.
  
  Just because our side sucks it doesn’t preclude the fact their side is much worse.
  
  .ml user, you think they're on our side...?

  I’m so sick of the pointless infighting. Now is not the time.
  
  That's the same thing they said before the election!
