Consternation

Yes, Joe Biden won, but the 71 million people who voted for Donald Trump aren’t going anywhere.

...People have had four years now to find out just how truly terrible Mr. Trump is. How indifferent he is to the norms of civil discourse and to the responsibilities of democracy itself. How transparently racist he is, how divisive, how selfish. We know he’s a chronic liar who, when caught out, simply doubles down on the lie. We know that he is using the levers of government to enrich himself. We know he delights in and urges on the most violent impulses of his most dangerous followers. We know he has let 237,000 Americans die on his watch and still has no plan for saving the rest of us.


The numbers as of Sunday revealed that more than 71 million people voted for him anyway — eight million more than voted for him in 2016... Margaret Renkl
