    Even if Trump had lost, one fact remains: tens of millions of Americans voted for this guy three times in a row.

    The first time, it’s conceivable that Americans made a mistake.

    The second time, they knew Trump as actual President.

    The third time, they knew Trump as a convicted felon, insurrectionist and overtly wannabe dictator, and they voted for him even harder.

    At this point, MAGA isn’t a freak event, it’s the norm. Even if the dems had won, they’d have won the presidency of a MAGA country, and quite frankly, what’s the point… You can’t cure someone who wants to be sick.

    Liberalism =/= leftism. But it’s completely normal for the hegemonic narrative to misunderstand or intentionally conflate these things.

    I think most people on the left realized Trump was probably going to win. It’s not a mystery.
