It wasn’t “liberals” hoping for a repudiation of Trumpism. It was decent people everywhere.

Americans knew exactly who Trump was. Despite 230K deaths, high unemployment, endless lies, kids in cages, and a cadre of advisers in prison, America has (nearly or actually) given another lease on life to the most staggeringly corrupt, racist, incompetent, authoritarian President in living memory. This has to be faced to be fixed.

The fantasy of repudiating Trumpism is dead - https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/liberal-election-fantasy-loses-trumpism-wins/2020/11/04/ca79be4c-1e91-11eb-90dd-abd0f7086a91_story.html

@TonyStark In North Carolina, there were somewhere around 70k statewide who voted third-party (Libertarian, Green, Constitution) or write-in. Not all the votes are in yet, but it's clear that far too many people have learned nothing. Those people think they're making a stand, but making a stand would've been joining a coalition, even if only temporarily, to defeat hate and bring down a tyrant.

6,000 people voted for Kanye West in Colorado, FFS. That's so embarrassing.
