What's more depressing is this was completely predictable, totally avoidable, but half the country welcomed this wave of oppression with open arms.

Can we please stop this bit of misinformation?

More people voted for Trump, but it wasn't half the country. There were a lot of people that did not vote at all. The most accurate would be to say that nearly half of the votes cast went for Trump. That is not half the country

Those that can vote, but don't, don't count.

what an ignorant comment. you can be upset that voter turn out is low, but to say people don't count is just knee jerk reaction that does not engage the people that didn't vote into positive conversations about voting in future elections.

you are now part of the problem
