Summary
Fox News’s attempt to find support for Donald Trump in Greenland backfired, as most residents expressed disinterest in his proposals.
While one Trump supporter was found, the majority of Greenlanders interviewed criticized Trump’s comments and expressed a preference for remaining under Danish rule.
Despite these setbacks, Trump continues to advocate for acquiring Greenland, citing economic security concerns.
The ballot presented the status quo (which is far less than ideal, sure, but included a normal human) vs outright Fascism with a Capital F, and millions of people shirked their civic duty because they didn’t like the dem candidate enough.
When Fascism is setting fires on your doorstep and you’re too busy arguing about the feng shui in the living room to bother calling in firefighters, yeah, it’s your fault.
Like it or not, the biggest group to sway 2024 were abstainers. If the number of voters who turned out for dems in 2020 had fucking bothered, we wouldn’t be staring down the barrel of historic progressive policy rollbacks, cuts to social services that will kill the disabled and elderly, the funnelling of your own money into the pockets of billionaires on a scale never before imagined, the systematic dismantling of democracy, and the institution of a theocracy.
If you are one of those who couldn’t be bothered for whatever reason, congrats, and you need to sit down and shut the fuck up for the next 4 years or so. You surrendered your right to have your opinion considered when you failed to do the bare minimum to stop a convicted felon, conman, and traitor from gaining power over us all again. We fucking warned you.
e: just saw your other reply. If you were disenfranchised, my comment is not meant for you, and I’m sorry for my vitriol – that’s a travesty, and that should not have happened to you. My comment is meant for the ‘both-siders’ who were (and still are) everywhere leading up to the election.
It’s simpler than that.
The two options on the ballot were telling citizens two basically opposite stories.
Once we get through those simple messages, then we get to the fact that the media since the Cold War has completely fucked actual education of what socialism, fascism, and every other ism other than Capitalism is. It is no wonder a ton of people either decided to not vote or at least vote for the side acknowledging there are issues that need fixing.
To my knowledge no systemic polling was ever attempted to determine the reason anyone did not vote.
How many couldn’t? How many got refused for voter id shit?
You can say it’s your belief but saying it’s a fact is a bit presumptuous.
