I did all I could to make him lose in all 3 elections, 2016, 2020 and donations in 2024 (before I retired overseas). I never wanted Trump to win, so that certainly is an insult. What I'm saying in my OP is that actions have consequences and the people who made up the difference in this election will be among the groups that suffer the most. And what I'm saying is that that may be necessary to wake people up.
