You’d think Trump would learn from things like Brexit.

Impossible. He already knows everything. Also, he has absolutely no impulse control. He's all "react, don't think" (though I don't think thinking really works with him so we're f*cked either way).

Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man, a weak man's idea of a strong man, and a stupid man's idea of a smart man.

Bless your heart.

I’m thrilled he’s back in office. The last four years have been disastrous.

Sounds like you’ve used that pickup line on a few guys before.

Added to ignore list.

Yeah, and I actually got you to believe it. You can try to ignore it, but it won't make it go away.

That’s like saying Bubonic plague is preferable to Ebola.
Trump is a liability to the globe but I wouldn’t expect his followers to consider that.

People should look at the bigger picture and ask what caused the majority of voters to choose the way they did. Simply complaining about the outcome and name calling won't fix the overall problem that got us to where we are today.

You can’t convince them to accept it, it doesn’t work

For clarity, the majority did not choose this path. About 35% did. The other 65% either chose the other path or failed to choose. The current path was not a clear mandate or landslide. We have a minority driving the country.
But the why is a good question.

TBF it’s similar in the Uk. The British public were so intent on getting the incumbent out, they didn’t consider the damage the successor would cause. Similarly, of the 60% turnout, only about 1/3rd voted labour.

Well a group of people failing to even bother to choose have no say in the discussion since they chose to ignore their civic duty in the first place. No matter what side someone voted for this time, I'd like to believe in 4 years we will all have better choices than the last few elections.
