      Thing is it’s not going to matter because the people who moved the needle are CLEARLY not interested in facts. We are living in a completely dangerous new reality where facts don’t matter.

      It doesn’t matter, the only thing that matters is Trump has universal legal power now.

      No one cares about a “mandate” except for political analysts. Trump is going to do Trump shit, and Congress will not stop him. Whether he won by 10 million votes or 10 votes, it’s all the same. He has both chambers of Congress and 6 SCOTUS votes on his side, so he’s off to the races. It’s all just a numbers game, and he has the numbers that matter.

      We’re fucked. We’re so incredibly fucked. And when it finally ends, millions of us will pretend we didn’t know what was happening.

      He controls all three branches of government with both houses of congress. Who the fuck cares if it is 49/48 in the popular vote?

      Saying “but there wasn’t a mandate” means jack shit. Keep screaming that when congress rubber stamps the gop platform and Trump signs it. I’m sure that will slow them down.

      They’re still going to implement it. It is of little comfort that less than 50% approve when it will still be done.

      Fox News would keep blasting “mandate!” 24/7 even if Trump won by one vote. Reality doesn’t matter to them. They’ve created an alternative reality where facts don’t matter

      A lot of people here saying that this doesn’t matter, but what I see is that maybe Chris Hayes wrote this article for an audience of one.

      Trump, in all of his puffed-up full-of-supply narcissism.

      This article will hurt Trump’s fragile feelings and I do hope he reads it. True, it’ll just make him angry – but that’s how Hayes will know he got to him. And if we see anything from Trump’s TS account about “failing news outlet MSDNC” then we‘ll know he read it, because Joe and Mika may have made the pilgrimage to MAL but Hayes is signaling he sure as fuck won’t.

      Technically true, sadly in this reality, it’s irrelevant. Fascists are in control, and unless we rise up, they will destroy us (including their ignorant and uninformed followers).

    14. ChanceryTheRapper on

      Facts don’t matter to MAGA, they were going to claim a mandate no matter what.

    15. ComfortableAcadia252 on

      They keep saying it’s a narrow popular vote winning you include California. So what. The most shocking thing is that for the first time, he actually WON the popular vote. Which is stunning. I expected him to take the electoral college, but not the popular vote.

    16. WhiskeyNick69 on

      Christ – the constant rationalization of what the results REALLY mean. 🙄

      “Um, when you look at it at the most granular level, we actually only lost by a super duper slim margin. We get a consolation prize… right? Right?” 🤣

      Don’t ever change, Dems and media, don’t ever change. 💀

    17. Beginning_Cry_5531 on

      “It’s because they cheated again! LALALALALALALALALA”

    18. Blastedsaber on

      Who cares? It literally makes zero difference about the way anything will work out.

    19. SicilyMalta on

      But will Fox News report it. Will any of their “editorialists” dare to mention it? Will MAGA ever believe it?

    21. JonWake on

      Well that and a buck fifty gets you all three branches of government controlled by Repiblicans.

    22. alabasterskim on

      Bare bones 50% wasn’t a mandate either. But a plurality is as much power as you can get, and that’s what he and Republicans got. They won. That’s what matters.

    23. vincethered on

      Facts. 20 years ago we were arguing over the veracity of the Nigerian Yellowcake theory. Two years ago it was “does wearing a mask help to stop the spread of airborne infectious disease?”.

      Things have gotten way worse way fast.

    24. Listening_Heads on

      Why have there been 50 articles about “trump didn’t get a majority” or “this isn’t a mandate”?

      Where the fuck are the 50 articles about democrats being so fucked up they lost the goddamn minority vote to the most racist man in America who is promising to deport them?

      Let’s get a bunch of those on the front page every day.

    25. AdkRaine12 on

      There you go again, talking about truth. Truth or facts don’t matter to Drumpt. HE LIES.

    26. highinthemountains on

      Have you read Agenda 47, America First Agenda or Project 2025? THOSE are the mandates.

    27. SharpCookie232 on

      There aren’t any checks on his power, that’s his mandate. Votes don’t matter any more.

    28. Otphj5811 on

      Yes, we did it, Trump only won the popular vote by a little bit. What a huge success, mission accomplished!

    29. LifeConfident6670 on

      MSNBC coping lol. And this is from someone who voted Harris

    30. KnightWhoSaysNnni on

      Republicans will never let facts get in the way of a myth. They’ll keep spreading that myth as long as it is useful.

    31. BiggC on

      This is the strangest spin/cope. I don’t know why it resonates with people so much.

      He won the popular vote, I didn’t think anyone distinguishes between a plurality and a majority.

    32. at0mheart on

      Given that there was once in a generation inflation, and the sitting President pulled out at the last minute due to illness; the Democrats did well.

      Those were hard obstacles to overcome and likely inflation, which is a world wide problem, lost the election.

    33. Inevitable-Forever45 on

      I thought the MAGA mandate was held on Trumps plane where they all ate McDonalds.

    34. unrealJeb on

      What a delusional headline. What does it matter? He won by a landslide. All swing states. House and senate. The only thing this is going to do is give desperate people in echo chambers extra things to parrot, but the wider public won’t hear it or care because it literally means nothing

    35. Hot_Excitement_6 on

      Don’t republicans have the presidency, the House, the Senate and basically the supreme court. I’m not sure why people are splitting hairs here…

    37. meca23 on

      They don’t need a mandate. They control of all 3 branches of Government. Trump can literally do anything he wants and nothing can stop at least until the mid-terms in 2 years.

    38. Dramatic-Emphasis-43 on

      We could have crushed it forever if more people came out to vote against it.

      Thanks a lot guys.

    40. Stunning_Mediocrity on

      Unless it magically makes Trump not the president-elect, makes the GOP not win the Senate, and makes the GOP not win the House, it doesn’t make any fucking difference. Sanity still lost.
