'He Got More Votes Than Last Time'
'The Muslim ban. The kids in cages. The 22,000 (and counting) lies. The authoritarian cosplay. The blundering into a trade war. The coziness with dictators, especially with Vladimir Putin. The impeachment. The grotesque of a presidency that will hang like a gargoyle on history forever. And, finally, a feckless and inhumane response to a public-health calamity that has killed a quarter-million people. We spent four years watching these things, and more people voted for him this year than voted for him four years ago. Almost half of the country looked at the way he has functioned as president since 2017 and said, definitively, that they wanted four more years of it, and that they wanted to inflict four more years of it on the rest of us.'
And the Hunter S Thompson quote is on point.
