I commented saying that I don't think Trump got 77,302,580 votes. Get it now? Bringing up Bidens and Harris's vote count is irrelevant.
are you claiming election fraud?
that's ridiculous but either way you're missing the point.
he got more than 77 million votes. close to 86 million people didn't vote. like it or not, that's still 86 million votes.
not voting isn't a way to say "I don't like either one", it says "I'm on board with whoever wins by people who actually show up". so that's a vote for mango mussolini. would've been for Harris if that 1.6% margin swung the other way, but it didn't.
so essentially he got the stamp of approval of around 160 million people.
Kinda, yeah. The conversation was that we don't get to complain because "everyone" voted for Trump. Basically implying that all of America wanted this. I just expressed my doubt that the candidate with a history of election fraud got the numbers that are claimed. More importantly though, there were still plenty of people who did not vote for Trump and are upset about current events.
Did lots of people sit out the election in protest, yes. Did lots of people move changing the demographics of certain areas over the past few years, yes. Nothing changes the fact that he has more followers in high places than he did during his 1st term. I remember Trump wanting to find 11,000 votes last election. How many did he find this time with more support?
I'm getting downvoted for essentially saying "I didn't vote for any of this and Trump probably cheated anyways since he has a history of it now" in response to you saying that there is no difference between the will of ALL of the American people and the Commander in Cheese and I think that's hilarious. Apparently being American means being pro Trump now, no matter what. Trump didn't need evidence or facts when he claimed election fraud back in May 2020 months before the election even started. So why are you asking me for receipts, this is a vibes based reality we live in now. Trump saved California from the fire but all the big cities are still being burned by criminals and immigrants right. At least that's what the news and Trump are reporting.
Trump got 74 million votes when he ran against Biden. Why is him getting an additional 3 million more votes this time hard for you to believe? There's roughly 244.7 million eligible voters. Statistically, half of them are average or below average when it comes to brainpower.
There was a huge disinformation campaign to keep as many of the 84 million Biden voters at home as possible. Many trolls posted here constantly: "both sides are the same", "I ReFUsE to VoTE GENOCIDE", "I'm voting 3rd party/green this year!!" and so on.
In 2020, there were 80.9 million eligible voters who didn't vote.
In 2024, there were 89.2 million eligible non-voters.
They didn't need to cheat, they just spent crazy amounts of money filling democratic voters with pure distilled apathy.
