116. I'm in red Florida and even here this doesn't add up.

Nov 11

Too many people even here in MAGA land said they were holding their nose and voting for Harris and absolutely had enough of Trump and his 24/7 chaos. Even the people in his own Administration warned everybody what a tyrant he was and what a disaster a second Trump presidency would be.

Trump, who actually said he was going to free the terrorists that attacked police officers? Even they weren't okay with this and while I'm sure he won this state I don't see how so many people failed to vote in what was described by both sides as "the most consequential election of our lifetime". Or they voted for Democratic senators but then not for Kamala as President?

I may be wrong on this but even if I am, surely the Democrats could find enough spine to challenge this instead of just rolling over. I was going to say something else but didn't as it would most likely be alerted on.
