It's even more fucked up he was the most voted for candidate in 2024, in 2016 he was a joke and nobody truly knew what he'd do.

In 2024 however.... He wasn't any longer a finger to the establishment, he was the establishment, MAGA had become the most powerful branch of the Republicans and representing the most vile billionaires in the US

The US system is so screwed up it produces outcomes counter to the majority desires.

Very true.

But many tens of millions of Americans voted for a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, literal traitor (insurrection), and probable pedophile in 2024, giving him the popular vote.

Americans are very, very, very fucked up.

Our system is also fucked up and allows for minority rule, but if more Americans had their heads screwed on straight, that brain damaged minority would never have power.
