90. I would agree with that

However, I would not put it past these idioty (lit. idiots in Russian) to cause more trouble. If you are a student studying abroad, even if you were born and raised here, do you trust that you will be safe if you return? I'm just talking about the people that were born in US (i.e. their whole family). If international students aren't safe, who is to say that US students won't be potentially detained? We likely are going to go towards that path completely by the end of the year unless something drastic is not done. I agree that some people like leaving the fight to others, but again, not all can do it, whether it be physical, mental, financial, or other reasons, even if they voted Democrat. Often times absentee/mail-in voting is the only way they can because they can't for whatever reason get it. Why do you think Trump is so insistent on getting rid of absentee/mail-in voting, SSI, and all this?

Heck, I voted Democrat across the board, in fact, I probably am the only person in my family who didn't vote for Trump (not sure about my brother and sister, but wouldn't be surprised if they did vote Trump).
