"Support for forced sex" we have a word for that. It's called rape.
The "pro-involuntary sexual participation" party.
I, for one, will be teaching my daughters how to handle a knife and how to castrate.
most Americans voted for a man they have every reason to believe is a rapist.
Minor quibble, but Trump won ~75 million votes by current count. Out of our population of 330 million people (including ineligible voters) that is 22.7%.
So no, most Americans did not vote for him.
...even less Americans could be arsed to vote for a sane person. You can't blame the backwards electoral vote system this time.
Eeeh, technically. But by the same metric most Americans haven't voted for a president... maybe ever?
America chose Trump. It's fucking awful but we're not going to move forward unless we recognize that problem and work to overcome it.
And yes, the next four years will absolutely fucking suck. There will be extremely shitty things happening in the next four years regardless of what we do now.
I get where you're coming from but I think semantics matter. American voters chose trump. I think we should avoid the international image that trump truly is this popular with our citizens. It's already embarrassingly bad if we precisely describe it, no need to make us look even more unsalvageable (as a people) than we actually are.
The American people chose him.
Gen Alpha gets a pass, sure... but for the rest of yall, as Rush famously said,
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
K, my point is invalid then
Correct.
Staying home when you know a rapist has a chance is still making a choice.
I'm so relieved that only 1 in 5 people in the country is pro-rape.
