    This picture makes me fucking ashamed to be an american. What a backward-ass shithole country we’ve become.

      And the election was not even rigged. You did this to yourselves in plain sight. It is super duper pathetic. From the boldest, most inspiring nation in the world to an insane, self-mutilating idiocracy in like a couple of decades. What the fuck!

        Let’s be clear, all US elections are rigged in many different ways. This is why the Texas gerrymandering is an issue as well as North Carolina in the past, and I’m glossing over a lot of cases and other methods that are used because it isn’t worth my time mentioning more than those two.

          How does any of this matter when Trump won the popular vote? You can’t get around the fact that more than 50% of voters voted for Trump.

          I totally agree that your political system is fucked, but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that Trump won because he cheated the system or the election was rigged. Trump won because he convinced people to vote on him, and that’s the real problem.
