He is the second most ever voted candidate in a presidential election. He has tremendous political power. Look at all the shit he is doing now and is currently more popular than he was at any time in his first term. His cult is dedicated and deep. He would probably win an election if called today.

. There is no excuse for voting for him unless you were aligned with his message of hate. This wasn’t an election between two candidates who had similar views and policies, it was one where the difference could not have been greater. Voting for the orange racist rapist was a conscious decision to want what he wanted for America, the destruction of everything that stood in the way of white supremacy.

What are you talking about. He got 31.8% of the electorate. Only Biden 34.2% and Obama 2008 32.6% did better. I know the guy is an idiot but we can’t delude ourselves into thinking that he isn’t historically popular with the electorate. The turnout was also historically high for modern elections, only lower than 2020. Numbers don’t care about our feelings.

Fit the numbers to your own narrative then

You really don’t like numbers that don’t make you feel better, don’t you? We can never win if we deny reality.

You clearly did not go to the website I gave you that uses numbers to decide who has the widest margin of victory
