    Not even the mercy of knowing most of the country is against him. Most of the country that gives a shit supports him.

      Not a super impactful consolation, but updated vote totals put Trump under 50% so only a plurality of the country that gives a shit supports him

      If it gives you any comfort, I think there were a ton of people who “gave a shit”, but were (and in many encounters I’ve had: still are) just too stupid to realize that “morally withholding” a vote for Kamala was going to enable something incalculably worse.

      Those people aren’t evil. Just unbelievably stupid. So much so that they’re a danger to themselves and others. But not evil.

          To be fair, quite a few withholds were probably too young to vote In 2016. None the less, many many more were still too stupid to learn from 2016.
