It makes perfect sense. You have a narcissistic asshole in the White House who got elected because the Democratic Party fumbled the ball.

I wouldn't put 100% of the blame on the Democrats, here in Australia we are frequently voting for the least worst option not the best, and I'm not sure how the Democrats weren't the least worst option when compared to the other option

but for some reason a whole heap of people decided to stay home this time and this is the result, hope they still feel happy with their decision

It don't want to sound too persnickety, but there is always at least one losing side in an election. It doesn't have to mean they dropped the ball, it could just mean people preferred the other option. Hindsight bias is wonderful, but you have no idea what would have happened if they'd run with a different agenda, they may have had a worse result.

Some corrupt members of Congress and the judiciary deserve some of the blame.
