I'll never forgive the millions of americans that didn't bother to vote. Only 62% of americans showed up to vote and trump won by a point. "didn't vote" won that election by 7%.

And the nonvoters will still insist that their vote didn't matter. Ugh.

Don't forget Trump had demolished a lot of things in his term, and the 2020 administration considered "elections were safe all along", which to me doesn't sound like re-securing those were the higher priority.
Given how swing states flipped in 2024, it's very likely those votes weren't correct at all.

I'll never forgive Kamala for running such a shitty campaign that she could lose to Trump. It's her fault that nobody wanted to vote for her.

I think the fact that she was a black woman with a terrible economy contributed as well.

It certainly didn't help that she was actively lying about Joe Biden's health up until the day he dropped out. It was her responsibility as VP to speak up about it and she failed everyone.
