So you're saying America can look forward to mass resignations in Trump's new cabinet over covering up a child sexual abuse scandal in orphanages?
Orange County... come on. It's even in the name. They were all-in for Trump even before Trump was born.
But tbh, Harris fared way way better than I expected there. I doubted she'd get even 45%.
But RFK Jr at 1%?
What's your take on the "you voted for it" nonsense? Because as a GOP voter in Cali, it's not like your choices are just being complicit or leaving the state. Both are wuss answers for modern day echo chambers.
I've often felt that the likes of you get it the worst. You're blamed for voting for something you voted against.
And if I had to make a Hitler analogy, because we all must, I have a special sympathy for Germans who resisted Hitler. Because they're called Nazis even when they were persecuted for trying to thwart the leadership.
I hear Mexico is going to finally build the wall now... to keep out the Muricans.
Come on in, the water's fine.

The whole "red" vs "blue" thing is also ridiculous. It attempts to oversimplify democracy as good vs evil, right vs wrong, the Bloods vs the Crips.
When it's nothing like that except for the brain dead who wish to believe it only rises to the social complexity believed by a four-year-old's brain.
It's weird sometimes. I have a little of my own "pulling up the ladder" attitude I can be guilty of. Especially when loudmouth Americans come barging in, spouting off everything the country needs after only being here for a month, and perpetually trying to recreate their own bad habits from home over here. Those never last and I'm never sorry to see them leave for Vietnam or Mexico or some other territory to conquer.
On the health care side, my brain has gone up in smoke. Given my ongoing leukemia treatments -- which are going excellent, btw, and should conclude in January and I should likely be in remission for how it's all going -- my mind is still blown whenever I pick up cancer drugs at the national cancer health center.
Every time a pharmacist just hands over a massive box of Venetoclax, puts it in a bag, says "see you next month" and there's no cash register will melt any American's brain who has experience with the US healthcare (read: sick care) system.

Agreed.
Even though most European countries have a multi party system, I've noticed how Europeans can be guilty of this behaviour as well. Elections really are not about your side "winning". It's not Juventus v Inter.
Elections should be about creating the best society possible for as many people as possible.
We seem to have collectively forgotten the point.
What boggles my mind is how Americans believe that maybe their healthcare is expensive, but it's the best in the world. It's not. Not by a long shot. If I'm on holiday in the US and am involved in an accident, I have insurance that will cover my expenses there. But I'd still want to get back to Belgium as soon as possible to actually get the correct treatment.
Now I get you need taxes to do this. And yes, it requires effort even if you're not sick. But, at some point, you will be sick. We all get sick. We all need healthcare. The American mentality towards this obvious fact of life is crazy.
