"I didn't like the DNC so I decided to vote for someone who is an unapologetic racist sack of shit and who bragged about how he'd abuse the presidency to get revenge on his enemies" really doesn't change anything to what I said.
I'm not a huge fan of the DNC either but I think that they're being used as a scapegoat for people not to own their terrible decisions to vote for a moronic demagogue.
Fair enough but the brass tacks of the matter is more Americans liked what Trump had to offer than what the DNC was selling (stability, more of the same)
IME a lot of trump voters are in the "fuck the government" camp and voted for him purely to throw a wrench in the political machine

I agree. What he had to offer was getting rid of brown people. He wasn't secretive about this. This isn't in conflict with what I said.

So they voted for a guy who bragged about how he was going to use the government to go after his enemies? Yeah I don't buy that.
Spot on! If in 2012 you told me half of Trump's platform, and told me I'd be voting for Kamala Harris instead, I might have shot myself in the face. But my country called, so I swallowed my fuck-the-status-quo pride and answered the call.
Maybe Democrats didn't vote [for Harris] because of that decision.
But the idea that they instead voted for Trump, or that people who went out of their way to vote for Trump would have voted for the Democrat candidate if they had just "been better than Harris" is so fucking absurd it's actively insulting that you try to claim this.

Most Americans think it is gross to select candidates for a job based on how much money they've given you, how willing they are to look the other way for your crimes, or how pretty you think they look.
> hiring based on their accomplishments and skills
That you can look at the Trump administration and say this with a straight face is demonstrative of how ignorant you are.
Most Americans think it’s gross to select minority candidates based on their race. If you’re a lying, corrupt, incompetent, moronic sack of shit, but you’re a white man, they’ll elect you president.
Which says a lot about Republican voters. This is how we get Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. What stupid fucking criteria for electing a political leader.

Yeah, I wasn't exactly slap-happy about Harris, but at least I don't think she's as actively dangerous as Trump is.
Down that road also is allowing an ill man to stay president for too long.
Aha! I knew something was fishy with them DNC. Those were also the reasons people voted for Hitler, goshdarnit.
Yeah, what? No.

He wasn't selected because of his race. He was selected because he's famous and good at Twitter. It's not that complicated.
