The TL;DR of this seems to be, you feel like people voted for the lesser of two evils, not really having support for their party, but absolutely against the opposition.
What this election has shown me is that people are willing to go to extremes or to make decisions they normally wouldn’t make, for the sole purpose of change. Everyone hates what the democrats have done in the past four years so much they are willing to forget about all of the dangers Trump brings with him to the job. That’s when I know Americans are finally fed up.
And to be clear, I don’t box myself in with an affiliation, there are aspects of both parties I like and obviously aspects of both I dislike. Just getting that out of the way because that’s usually the first thing people think. If I am disparaging the Republicans, I must be a democrat. Uhm, no, I don’t, lol.

Yep, that's exactly how I see it. I help run our local Bitcoin meetup and we have multiple lifetime Dems that held their nose and voted Trump this cycle. I'm talking deeply entrenched from places like Chicago and New York and find their lifelong party nothing like what they grew up with.
I will also say I heard both of those I'm referencing they believed Kamala was a bigger threat to democracy than Trump. Definitely wasn't a good look to be projecting Trump was the "End of Democracy" and then going on TV and talking about censoring social media.
Lastly, I think the Dems could have put up multiple moderate candidates and beat Trump, especially if they didn't ostracize Tulsi, RFK. I fully believe that if they didn't go so extreme over this last decade and ran Tulsi this cycle, we'd see our first woman President in history. Now she is likely to be the first woman President as a Republican.
