America died for me on 11/5.

32. Don't hate all of us is Damn Skippy right. Don't hate America

By the numbers. There was a 64% voter turnout out. Trump got less than 50% of the total vote so 32 percent of eligible voters voted for him. Hardly a landslide…. Further, there are roughly 330 million people so well less than 25 percent of all Americans voted for Trump. You are part of the 75 percent of Americans that were not Trump supporters. Turnout was down in democratic strongholds, California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois’s ,New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts…..Democrats should have carried the popular vote but apathy in places where people don’t feel their vote matters hurt.

A further part of the problem with your post (please don’t take this as a personal attack as it is a statement or sentiment unfortunately ascribed to Democrats) is the we hate America narrative. There is no place I would rather live. We had a shitty election cycle, we can fix it in the next cycle, there are many places where you can not. When “we” say I hate America and I hate Americans it only digs the hole deeper for us to dig out of regain the majority and appeal to the center.
