@pie @methyltheobromine > 328.2m citizens (2019 est)> 144.8m votes counted> 069.6m trimp> 21%and alternative old man only seems reasonable alternative to people in countries where he hasn't condoned and presided over systematic long-distance murder

@methyltheobromine trueidkamerica had a chance with this election to definitively throw out the everything-phobic fat orange man and show the world that they arent the fat stupid racist stereotype but theyve done the exact opposite and shown 50% of the entire population are loving thisitspretty sad

@shmibs @methyltheobromine from those numbers, 48% of voters voted for trumpthats half the voting populationthis is no different from saying 41% of australian voters (unfortunately) voted for scummoat least one of the senile racist predators is less obviously proud of it. i think that should be a pretty big factor

@pie @methyltheobromine 21% of the entire population is not 50% of the entire populationand the assertion that people who voted for a person are enthused about it is also absurdconsider how many people went with smiley old-man because "i don't like him, but no choice"the same thing happened with frowny old man ("i don't like him, but they'll take away my religious guns job and give it to chinese illegal immigrants")

@mystik @pie @methyltheobromine neither are especially racist; just amoral pragmatists, playing to whatever crowd supports themthe difference is maybe the smiley one having like a 50 year history of doing that by supporting mass-incarceration etc legislation for actual kkk members, saw a fair amount of awareness-spreading around that, and pulling the "you should vote for the other guy" refusals to any complaints coming from hispanic communitiesseems support was still predominantly one-way, but "lower than expected", given previous record; are there realtime-data on demographics, though?not that it's all that important, but

@pie @shmibs @methyltheobromine he's been supported so much by black and hispanic communities?
