This is what nearly ~60% of the country voted for.

About ~30% directly and ~30% indirectly by not voting at all.

Don't let them say otherwise.

Edit: Looks like I hit a nerve. If you voted for Trump you voted for this. If you didn't vote then you also voted for this. Do better.

Already forgot about the "do not come" threats?

If you voted for Trump you voted for this, if you voted for Harris you Voted for this, if you didn't vote then you voted for this.

It constantly amazes me how the people who can't be bothered to vote get so upset when you point out that they tacitly support the very things they hate by choosing not to participate.

You seem to think a lot of us who held our nose while voting for Harris didn't vote. We complained loudly about our options. We still voted against the bad man because we had no choice. The metric is smaller than you think.

No, I am stating that ~30% of the population didn't vote at all. Which is the metric.

Not whether or not progressives did or did not.

I am saying to remember the people who allowed these things to happen.

I have long said that eventually they'll come for me. This admin is making it more and more a reality.

Listen to Adam Friedland on Chapo Traphouse until that happens. It’s hilarious. 😂

If there was any doubt as to the true purpose of the ICEtapo.

Look, ICE and union busters just want to make axe handles this year's must-have fashion accessory. Who are we to resist this trend?
