They legally cheated with gerrymandering and throw in a little of illegal by his minions as well. They cheated in 2020 too, it just wasn't good enough.
Honestly, while it would not surprise me in the slightest to find out there was actual voter fraud, it would surprise me much, much less that Americans legitimately voted for him.
Gerrymandering only affects the House. For the Senate and the Electoral College, the district boundaries are fixed as the state boundaries. (I’m not saying that low population states don’t have a disproportionate influence in either body, I’m just saying the boundaries are fixed.)
It wasn't quite that often and it wasn't a new thing every time. It was usually the same thing over and over. Some new advancement in the investigations.
You can talk about locking up, assaulting, or murdering people you don't like for exercising their right to free speech. But, the moment you quote a dead hatemonger you are going to lose everything!
With Reiner's son being the main suspect, Trump could have just called him a lousy father if he really needed to speak ill of the dead. But no, he had to make it about himself somehow.
Every time I see one of these Trump posts, I'm like, "The only thing that could make this comment more unhinged was if his profile picture looked like he was run over squarely across the face by a Ford F-350 with American flag tire treads dripping wet with paint at the exact moment he completes a bowel movemen- oh wait, nope, they got it."
"Golden Age" is a thing people say. The "Gilded Age" also was a period of American history, but President Tang wasn't making a reference to Mark Twain.
What the Trump admin put the country into isn't a golden age, but instead something more akin to a repeat of the Gilded Age, with its rampant political corruption and extreme wealth disparity. The joke is that he meant to say "Gilded Age"—which is the more accurate comparison—but is so out of it that he instead said "Golden Age".
Fair enough, I guess the "intentionality" threw me off.
I wouldn't expect Trump to know about the Gilded Age (much less to align his administration with its corruption). My brain stopped at "that's like a 10th grade school mistake, while Trump is usually stumbling around grade 4."

Actually unhinged. Never forget that Americans got a taste of this and voted for it again.

Gerrymandering only explains how he can win the Electoral College. It doesn't explain 77.3 million Americans going "yeah, I'll vote for that."

Did you notice that every accusation is a confession? I would look at the voting machines his minions (musk, election officials, etc.) had power over.

If I wasn't a fourth-generation U.S. citizen of very light complexion, I'd be more worried. As it is, I wish some European country wanted me!

more people voted for Trump than live in the UK.
just Trump voters alone would make them the 4th most populous country in Europe. it's fucking INSANE.

Partially because he was deplatformed. People weren't constantly reminded of his craziness for four years.

Do you think he consciously asks himself "How do I make this about me?" or is it just a well-honed reflex?
Glide@lemmy.ca · 55 pts · 254d
Well-honed reflex.
Narcissists aren't very good at self-awareness.

When Trump dies, they better hide where his remains are interred like Genghis Khan or risk turning it into the world's most popular toilet.
