Nah, man, I don’t think any of us really were expecting the result we got. I protest voted for fuckin’ Johnson of all people in the 2016 General because I was certain that my vote wouldn’t mean jack. I mean, I was in a safe blue state, so it didn’t, but God, the feeling in my gut watching the results come in, knowing that my fellow American citizens were fucking vile enough to elect Donald fucking Trump, and that I hadn’t even cast a vote in (meaningful) opposition? To at least add a little more voice to the ridiculousness that was the electoral college overriding the vote of the people? It hit hard.
Except we never elected him. The EC did. He lost the popular vote by several million votes with relatively low turnout, despite damn near record turnout.
I was so distraught and in denial about Bernie not getting the nomination that I wrote him in. Sorry I think I helped Trump by doing that.

Enough people voted for him that the EC was a concern to begin with, let’s put it that way.
