How dare these electors vote for who the voters decided they are to vote for! How dare they elect who the people of Wisconsin chose them to elect! Shame! Shame! This is MY America things are only supposed to go MY way!
Bitch this is OUR America. Millions vote and sometimes your guy wins and sometimes your guy loses. Wake the fuck up.
Look, the only thing you could possibly protest here would be if the electors did the opposite. If they took the voting results in Wisconsin, said “ehh no thanks,” and switched their obligated vote from Trump to Hillary. You could protest the shit out of that and, with the passion of a billion suns, you bet your ass people would. The silent majority would come roaring out of the woods to burn Wisconsin to the ground. And, thanks to our republic that’s stood for 240 years, they’d have good reason.
It’s not rocket science. When 3 million Wisconsinites vote and the most votes go to Trump, your 10 electoral votes go to Trump. Simple.
Pro-Trump electors across the country have even been receiving death threats for not switching their votes.

I’m not here to tout one side or the other. That’s not what I do. I’m here to call it how I see if and what I’m calling is that if you’re going after these people — the electors — for doing their job, you’re a psychopathic mental midget. An idiot. A little bitch.
You can say the Electoral College sucks. You can say the parties suck. You can say the voters suck. I may not agree with you but sure, you can make those points. But blaming and berating the electors just makes you look like a lunatic crybaby driven crazy by a few too many Wisconsin winters. Grow up.
PS — Trump officially officially became the President-elect on Monday.
We did it! Thank you to all of my great supporters, we just officially won the election (despite all of the distorted and inaccurate media).
