      Correct, but he won the plurality and no one is really saying that he won the majority. The language people have been using is that he won the Popular Vote, which is still accurate.

      He may have won the popular vote, but the margin he won by has been shrinking for quite a while. It’s at 1.7% currently.

      So what? He won, whether with 50% or 49% it doesn’t matter. We hear “now he doesn’t have a mandate”. What does that even mean? He had the senate and house for 2 years at least. Mandate or not, if they want to do something they will.

      Yet he will still have as much legal authority and, being term limited, little incentive to care about his non-majority status.

      Is this all the fuck we have left now?

      Arguing about how bad or not-so-bad we lost?

      We lost. They have the White House, the House, the Senate, the SCOTUS, and more governors.

      Do you guys remember the final score of the 1993 NBA finals? Fuck no. You just know that the Bulls won. None of this matters and isn’t what the left should focus on.

      Part of me wonders if he’s going to spend his whole presidency screaming at people. Is he actually incentivized to DO anything? He doesn’t give a fuck about re-election. He’s talked about wanting to run for a third term but he’s gonna be older than Biden by then and totally incoherent if he’s still alive.

      It tells you a lot when even on r/politics the main response to such pieces of… news is “This is copium, can we please move on?”

      So, please, can we move on? Democrats lost, republicans won. Time to think about the future.

      As Mark Twain once opined, “it’s easier to con someone than to convince them they’ve been conned.” 

      How sad it is that some individuals believe that scientists, scholars, historians, economists, and journalists have devoted their entire lives to deceiving them, while a reality tv star with decades of fraud and exhaustively documented lying is their only beacon of truth and honesty.

      They might be modeling 20th century European fascism, but IMO they’re lacking the actual WW1-hardened organization, competence, and pragmatism. I think this this baptism happens relatively quickly – historically speaking.

      It’s gonna be a very bumpy ride, but when they crash this plane into the mountain (and a lot of people are going to get hurt), the coalition that will rise in the ashes might finally be the progressive, forward thinking future that was previously unachievable through proper reform.

      The big thing that has me worried, ironically, is Liz Warren’s CBDC being deployed by the Trump administration. If federally issued financial support (Medicaid, Medicare, SS, Food Stamps, Finacial Aid, Biz Grants) is fully digital and surveilled (and can be shut off with the touch of a button for the ‘undesirables’) – we really get into some Orwellian shit.

      Who coulda seen Democrats becoming Libertarians coming?

      Helluva timeline we’re living in.

      I bet they continue to say their new favorite word “mandate” and that they “have a mandate from the American people to ruin the country”

    16. hbktommy4031 on

      He hit something like 49.9%. So while this statement is technically true, it’s a heavy cope. We all have to find a way to accept the fact that a huge portion of our fellow countrymen are fucking idiots.

    17. haarschmuck on

      What an insanely misleading headline.

      He still has the popular vote.

    19. SilentRhubarb1515 on

      Who cares? This clown getting even a single vote should be a wake up call for us that something is broken

    21. shadowdra126 on

      Doesn’t change a thing BUT it does make me want to do a full recount by hand. Just for shits and giggles at this point cause I don’t believe these results still honestly.

      Jonathan could barely see as he was led into the Tesla My Pillow Coliseum, the lights flashing in time to the Kid Rock January 6th True America Trump Anthem while the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders flanked him and the other forced attendees, funneling them into the main arena to be seated for the movie. As the re-education begins, a woman leans over to Jonathan and whispers “HE DIDN’T WIN A MAJORITY OF VOTES” right before the drone sweeps down and plucks her from the group, her destination a factory in Iowa where she will contract bile duct cancer from the paint used to make the Dear Leader’s latest line of high top sneakers for whispering such blasphemy.

    23. Pug4281 on

      Huh? He’s set to gain over 270 electoral votes. More than enough needed to become president. The headline is misleading.

    24. SpaceCowboy34 on

      Lot of people learning the concept of plurality and majority here

    25. Xivvx on

      One can only hope that the incompetence of his team (meaning stephen miller), and his own incompetence, hamstring him from causing too much damage.

      Get ready for the Trump crime family to loot the country.

    26. jaylotw on

      Doesn’t matter.

      He could’ve won by a single vote and MAGA would call it a landslide and a mandate.

      They’re entire worldview relies on them convincing themselves that reality is real.

    27. Emergency_Property_2 on

      It doesn’t matter if he did win the majority or not, he’s going to abuse the power of the office worse than he did the first time.

    28. TriflingHotDogVendor on

      He still has control of everything. This is the most bizarre thing to be happy about. He just needs the electoral votes. Nothing is going to stop his plan to send his Red State SS squads to major cities to cause havoc and disarray. The popular vote doesn’t matter.

    29. nettiemaria7 on

      As much as I can not stand certain ppl, he still got more ballots so far.
