    12 year US Army vet, deployed to Iraq 2007-2008.

    Number of people I killed: 0

    Why? I was a surgical tech. I helped save lives, including local nationals.

    But sure. I deserve “whatever I get” for literally signing up to help people.

    The real one?

    Where 6 million more people in the US were employed than before the pandemic.

    Where inflation in the US was lower than that of peer western countries.

    Where the number of people using food stamps decreased.

    Where wages went up almost 20% over 4 years.

    Where GDP grew by some 14% over 4 years.

    Where the S&P 500 increase by 43% over 4 years.

    By what reasonable metric would you consider the economy fucked?

    Trump won the national popular vote by 1%

    There was a 2% reduction in voter participation from 2020 to 2024.

    So, yeah. Idiots staying home because there wasn’t a perfect candidate did impact the election in a significant way.

    You staying home was a vote for Trump, and a whole lot of people are going to pay for your shitty behavior.
