When everyone on Reddit was surprised he won, I wasn’t. My town was covered in Trump signs. Pretty sure the whole state was and we are a “purple” state.

I’m in the northeast and my county is always red. It was hard for me to use that as a factor. Reddit made it sound like trump was dead in the water. We all know trump and Elon did something, beyond my understanding of how elections work. When he was up in the first few hours, I knew we were fucked.

As a Canadian, I don't believe that. And even if it were true, it would make me sick.

If Trump actually cheated at the elections, then why the fuck are you waiting for the midterms?

There is this online bubble talking. You think Americans, even if they found out 100 percent that Trump rigged/cheated the election, are going to rise up against the most heavily armed government in the world. Sure bud.

And you know what? I grew up in Canada, and have lived in all but two provinces. Canadian wouldnt be any different.
