Just wanted to clarify something for future reference. Being a numbers geek, I wanted to check something out.

I'm told, on a pretty regular basis, that Trump's 2024 win was a "landslide". When I point out that he didn't even receive half the votes, or when I point out that his popular vote margin of victory was only 1.5%, I'm told those don't matter. The only fallback, of course, is the Electoral College vote, 312-226. So it's not about Americans or people, it's about the Electoral College. Okay.

Let's look at that result from a historical perspective, shall we?

As it turns out, both of Trump's wins were near the historical bottom in terms of percentage of electoral votes won (since the number of electoral votes have changed over the years). In fact, both Clinton and Obama had a higher percentage in their wins. Please see below.

In fairness, both parties just love to call any win a "mandate", which is bullshit. We are a 50/50 country and hopefully we'll get a President who understands what that means before it's too late. But pretending that Trump's complete destruction of our institutions and standing in the world is justified by a "landslide" victory is pure bullshit.

Considering the 24/7 negativity against him there is no one else who could have won. Trump is the first Independent President of the U.S, that's my opinion.

He had to beat both the Democracts AND the Neo-Con, Establishment Republicans. He expanded the GOP outreach to pockets and demographics they envied the Democrats on.

If Trump had lost this election the chances of American maintaining it's libertarian roots would be slim as you'd have another 20M illegals and all would be allowed to vote.

Trump is transformative and I hope one of Rubio or JD Vance (or the like) follows in his footsteps.

We can certainly agree on the "transformative" part.

Kept the House, increased in the Senate, and won every single swing state. And, most of those swing states are turning more red. We're not quite there yet but experts predict that by the 2030 census, the blue states will be losing more House seats and the red states will be gaining them. And, the Senate maps over the next few times favor the red team by quite a bit. It's not out of reach for the Republicans to win 60 seats. Add onto that that democrats only currently have a 25% approval rating.

All the swing states. Every one of them. In today's America that's a landslide.
 
Both cults at one time or another claim a landslide victory.
But here is the real problem. The democrats have failed to choose a decent candidate in a number of tries. The last democrat president could be claimed to be the worst one we have had. The fact the democrats tried to run some of the worst candidates in the last election shows how out of touch they are.
Unfortunately for a lot of those on here yelling constantly that the sky is falling because Trump is president do not see that it will take a few years before we see how things he is doing shake out for good or bad. But constantly yelling about it makes only two things possible. One is they look crazy. Two is if they are wrong then they look even crazier.
If they do get some of it right it will fall under the idea that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

So yeah. It was a landslide.

Bingo. Trump is a threat to the establishment of both sides and voters loved it. Even the 24/7 hatred spewed by the democrats's left wing media couldn't stop him.
 
They are. Bernie and AOC are doing their love tour. They recently went to LA, which is filled with literally millions of democrats and 30,000 of them showed up at the love tour.
.

Isn't it dangerous to get two bottomless wells of DUMB that close together?

Seems to me like a big risk of creating a black hole that would suck a lot of democrats into another universe.......................

Uh, on second thought, ya got the video? That'd be fun to see.
