That's easy. The moment the news reported the Americans had voted in a felon for president.

I guess my facepalm was assuming a majority of Americans were smarter than that.

They aren't.

It didn't surprise me, it was just deeply disappointing. I did hope Harris would win but so many factors of her campaign were just terrible and doomed to fail.

I was convinced that it wasn't even possible, but once it was all over, people started asking how and why, and I listened to the responses, and they made sense.

They're still morons for voting in a rapist felon, but I understood why they thought Trump was the right choice.

But, hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

Well, TBF, I don't think he was a felon at that time, technically. He hadn't been sentenced yet.

Regardless, we dumb.
