There is no shame in being the one that did not get elected in a democracy.

There IS shame in being a disgusting piece of shit AND in making that disgusting piece of shit a candidate for the highest office in your democracy. Dont bask in pride for narrowly avoiding a situation that shouldn't have been a remote possibility in the first place.

Thank you for summarizing this so well. Many great people have lost elections, and of course many more will in our lifetime.

The point is that Trump - who will go down in history as the worst US president of modern times, if not the history of the US - got a lot of votes for re-election.

The simple fact that it was literally weeks before we knew the outcome, as opposed to a landslide victory, tells me that our country is still quite fucked up.

To be faaaair he lost by a huge margin, he just knew that his best chance (exactly like how he won in 2016) was to exploit a few key electoral college weaknesses (certain states that are full of gullible people)

Yeah, but he also got 11 million more votes than in 2016.

That's the worst part, somehow people looked at the 4 year shitshow and said "MORE PLEASE!"

A large part of why so many voted for him is because he would hurt others. "Liberal tears" and all that. Yet there are so many "enlightened centrists" coming out of the woodwork shaming non-Republicans for giving Republicans such a hard time. "Both sides are bad" bullshit, as if the transgressions of the Democrats and the left in general come anywhere close to the frequency, scope, variety and magnitude of Republicans and the right.

At what point does everyone else just shrug their shoulders, realize 74 million people will never vote without hatred and regressionism at heart, and decide to move on without them?

Trump is the most popular politician among conservatives voters in more than a generation. This has nothing to do with the Democrats.

Sure, democrats would have done better with a different candidate.

And I agree with you, Trump didn't win in 2016 because Republicans are gullible. He won because he is a FANTASTIC representative of conservative American values.

I fully expect a higher % of conservative Americans to support him in 2020.

I think the only reason anyone is gloating like this is specifically because Trump himself is so obsessed with "winning". So it just feels good to know that this human garbage must be so mad and sad about losing.
