The comments section was filled with strong emotions, reflecting a deep frustration with the election's outcome and the state of American politics.?

Many expressed a sense of disappointment, even despair, at Trump's return to power, while others shared personal struggles, highlighting the social tensions they feel have worsened in recent years.

One commenter bluntly remarked, "Congrats, America. You've really shat the bed with this one," receiving thousands of upvotes.?

Others echoed the sentiment, noting a collective effort to avoid this outcome. "We tried! A lot of us tried, at any rate. Not enough, apparently," one user lamented, while another shared the emotional toll, writing, "I tried so hard, and my family and I are so tired of it all."

Many comments captured a broader sense of societal decay. "The loss of human compassion has really shaken me too," said one user, capturing a sentiment echoed by others who felt that divisions have only intensified over the years.

Some pointed fingers at the Democratic Party for failing to engage and energise voters. "People did not show up," observed one commenter, "Democrats just did not show up."

Another added, "The Democratic Party leadership, Biden, Harris, and their entire staff should be held responsible for spending four years trying to appease instead of inspiring their actual base."

However, another comment touched on the country’s polarising divide, remarking, "We need to stop pretending half the country being incredibly difficult is something the DNC can magically solve. People intentionally chose to support and vote for him."?

Others agreed, saying that Trump's return reflects a deeper national split that no one party alone can address.

One voice seemed to capture the weariness that many feel, sharing a personal anecdote: "I managed to convince my 73-year-old, lifelong Republican mother to vote straight Democrat in Florida. I thought maybe this country was finally ready to start scraping the muck off our national shoes... joke's on me!"
