“You’ve got 74 million Americans who feel disenfranchised, who feel like their vote doesn’t matter.”But this isn’t disenfranchisement. The votes of Trump supporters mattered; it was just that there were fewer of them than votes for Joe Biden. That’s what happens in an election: One side loses, and if it was your side, it doesn’t mean you got cheated. Instead, I hear them talk about their worries about how they will ‘look’ to President Trump’s most ardent supporters.”And of course, to Trump himself. Yet for all that, there is a silver lining to be found in this final act of the election.
