Summary
The recent U.S. election saw a significant Democratic underperformance, with Kamala Harris drawing 1.4 million fewer votes than Joe Biden in 2020, while Donald Trump gained 1.1 million additional votes.
Nationally, Democrats lost more votes than Republicans gained, but in key swing states like Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, Trump’s gains outpaced Harris’s losses, securing his victory.
In many counties, Democratic votes dropped sharply even where Republican gains were modest.
Higher turnout in swing states, driven by Trump supporters, was a crucial factor in his win.
The biggest and most painful lesson I’ve learned this week is that the average American is a bad person, even within my friends and family. Being a decent human being in America is an exception. They knew and didn’t care. The ones who sat out and the ones who voted for this truly deserve all the pain coming their way.
