Only two possible solutions I can think of. The first is balkanize. Let each group of like-minded people form their own, autonomous nation states, where they can all do things the way they want without interference from others. The second is the reasonable, rational, educated people take complete control of the federal government and force all the states to adopt the policies that have proven to work best.

Individual responsibility, bootstraps, etc.

Never.

Alright, well, keep hoping that they'll stop burning their hand on the stove one day. Seems like a waste of time and energy, but that's up to you.

Maybe. How many times does a kid have to burn himself on a hot stove before we accept that he's just stupid and a lost cause?

Maybe. If people have been given ample opportunity to make the right choice, but they keep making bad choices, choices that continue to cause them to suffer, is that not what they deserve?

They need to find a way to silence the Republicans, then. They need to ensure that people are only getting the right message.

Mocked, yes, but saying they deserve to suffer…

Well, is it not true?

Exactly. They're idiots and they deserve what they get.

At this point people should be mocked...

That's what I did.

 

According to these CNN exist polls, 53% of respondent voters were women, and 47% were men. 54% of female respondents voted for Harris, 44% for Trump. 54% of male respondents for Trump and 44% for Harris. That means Harris should win the popular vote, if these polls are indicative of the election as a whole. But, she isn't winning the popular vote, she's losing by more than five million votes. That must mean that many more women than men voted on election day, but many more men than women voted early and/or by mail/absentee. Isn't that kind of odd? You'd think the gender breakdown of mail in and early voting would be roughly the same as election day voting. The only other thing I can think of is these exit polls just aren't indicative of the election broadly. Maybe CNN's exit polls aren't capturing a large or diverse enough sample size?
