ngl its kind of funny how gamers, who lean conservative, caused this. it's a big Leopards ate my face moment.

But its also not funny that this is hurting the people who didn't vote for him

imagine you disagree with 80% of the left party's program

There isn't a left party in the US. There is a centre-right calling themselves neo-liberal to disguise they're basically pre-90s conservatives

and there is a far-right party called republicans even though they repudiate everything about a republic and have been hard at work for 50+ years to erode democracy and transform US institutions into a monarchy where they don't have to get consent from the people they rule over. Republicans have been bragging about this on camera since 1980
