Oh, come on. About 90 million people listened to everyone and their (non-conservative) mother say how this might be the most important election, Trump won't give up his power, they're going to enact Project 2025, it'll be nothing but a revenge tour, they're fascists, a second Trump administration is an existential threat to this country, Trump is compromised, this administration will end American democracy, the people who stood in his way last time aren't around any more, etc... 90 million people heard this... then still chose to stay home and let this happen. I'm sorry Biden/Harris didn't sweep us off our feet, but we deserve this. Don't you dare say we "tried" voting against it.

If Did Not Vote had been a candidate:

Well, you can't vote fascists out, but historically speaking they've always been voted IN. Authoritarianism is always a degeneration of liberalism. When people get fat and lazy, shit like this happens. Weak men creating hard times ect.

Actually it's strong men not getting cut down. The problem is concentration of power. "They were too weak and lazy to stop hitler2" This idea is a memetic weapon to make it appears it's the people who are being stepped on that are at fault, rather than the plainly obvious empowered elites just letting go of any restraints, buying "democracy" outright and then blaming the oppressed for their oppression.
