    No vote. No opinion.

    He got the majority of votes. He got the majority of the electoral.

    The majority of participating voters wanted this.

    Just because you guys cannot fathom how anyone would want this doesn’t mean this is the same panic inducing situation for them. The majority of politically active people in the United States of America wanted this to happen as evidence of the election we just held.

      No. He got a plurality of the votes. Not a majority.

      The majority of participating voters voted against him.

      How many times do you need that repeated to understand?

        I mean, I’m sure you’re right. What I don’t understand is how that technicality is even relevant. Even if 40% of the people voted for this, does that not still mean you have a sick and dangerous population on your hands? We’re talking about tens of millions of people that voted for a fascist regime.

          It means he doesn’t have the popular mandate they keep claiming they do.

          But yes. Half of adults are functionally illiterate. 5th-6th grade reading levels. They can physically read the words, but will only grasp the most basic surface level meaning. Republicans’ started attacking education decades ago. This is what they wrought.
