VP Kamala Harris and all of her wealthy surrogates should have done a better job.

Also, this shows you have absolutely no faith in any of the DC Democrats to stop said fascism. Why did you vote for any Democrats if they were unable to fend off fascism? In fact, did Senator Casey ever claim he would fight to fend off fascism?

This reply is meant for everyone in this thread claiming to have disowned their family because of their vote.

First, I don’t believe most of you have done that. It’s typed for site street cred. How could you fit in with far far leftists if you actually were civil to your republican family? Sure wouldn’t look good. There’s an online reputation to uphold.

Second, good luck with that message in 2028.

My family is THE most important thing on this earth.

I am truly sorry to hear that most of you don’t feel the same.
