Which is worse? 1- That almost 1/2 of US voters were so ignorant & stupid they never bothered to learn this? or 2-They do know but thought it was both OK & likely not to affect them? or 3- Both "We are in the beginning of the longest, saddest & excruciating period of, I TOLD YOU SO" in US History"

EXACTLY! there's no mandate! It's a mere trickle. 💙⚘️

True. And they won largely by lying about what they were planning, so how's that a mandate in any case?

That will never stop them from lying about it. Every day, throughout the day. The election needs investigation. This admin should be doing much more.

They won by a penny

If he won at all.

Had it not been for newly gerrymandered districts in North Carolina, the Democrats probably would have a majority in the House in the next Congress.

Joe Biden has engaged massive inflationary 5T spending on nonsense, including 1.9T Covid stimulus. And sent over 200 billion to Ukraine to prolong a bloody proxy war. Did Biden have a mandate for all of this?

None that affects your daily life. Oh they sure do. They keep the prices of food lower. You have bought in that idiotic idea that the crimes are something imported. There might be some of that but the vast majority of it is home grown. BTY why are you so worked up about that You voted in a felon.

They do. I live in NYC where the city has spent 5B in the past year alone dealing with illegals. Also, we have had a significant increase in rapes, robberies and violent crime. The same is true across the country.

Immigration courts have a backlog of over 3 million cases and there are only about 650 courts. While deportation is certainly within the government’s power, it would be a lot more by practical to punish undocumented immigrants with fines.

They can't collect benefits. In fact, some pay taxes through sales, real estate, and even income taxes.

Yep. Our immigration process is broken. As a result, people turn away when they see an employer with immigrant workers who might not have made it through the system. We are in for a shock if he gets his way.

Just like crowd size. He just has to speak the lie and the cult rallies around it.

Will not matter a scintilla to Trump or his techno-nazi/Christian Nationalist/alt-right opportunist oligarchs. Likely by the time they are finished embellishing, their claim will be that Trump won 2024 by largest margin in US history. www.ngrippel.com/ngr-politics...

Yes and they are controlling the message instead of us. We need leadership that speaks up daily and a message that resonates even with the MAGA crowd. We need to do something!

Even if those numbers are correct, it's hardly a mandate as they have been claiming. He got 1.5% more votes than Harris, a mixed race woman who only had weeks to mount her campaign. MAGA will still claim a mandate and attempt to govern accordingly. They will overreach, but can they be stopped?

They are going to rule like he’s king.

not much difference than the con man claiming “how rich” he is

This claim sounds a lot like "it didn't rain on my inauguration". or "the Boy Scouts called me to say that was the greatest speech that was ever made to them", or "my new health plan is coming in 2 weeks", or "i was Michigan's Man of The Year", or ____, or ____, ...ad infin.

But will it matter. Youknowwho in 1933 didn’t have a ‘mandate’ either

So, is it time already to blame the independent candidates?

We know Trump didn’t take his oath to defend and protect the Constitution seriously the first time he took it. January 6th made that crystal clear.

°our own

They lie so much. It's dangerous and had and will continue to get people hurt and killed.

They said they wouldn't run on Project 2025 only to start Project 2025 when they take power. That is called deception not a mandate.

Did they actually win at all though? Too little reporting on the ?'s being suggested by people like Greg Palast, Stephen Spoonamore, Jessica Denson which point to the very real likelihood that (R)'s DIDN'T win...at least fairly anyway.

Does it really matter if Trump still won EVERY SINGLE SWING STATE?

This also happened with Brexit in the UK. A very small majority of people voted for it and this was extrapolated into a mandate for the hardest possible version.

So? They're still in power.

You mean "they didn't actually win". More people voted for his opponents than him. And the votes are still being counted. The vast majority of Americans oppose his policies. The mandate is with Democrats to win in 2026 and 2028.

So is his "victory".

> There’s just one problem: They didn’t actually win by much. Here's the deal: as long as they get 270 e votes, it's a mandate. Winning 270 by 0.1% and losing all the other states by 100% yields a ruling mandate. "** I'M ** in control now, so neener-neener!" mandate.

As a President or a candidate Trump has never cared what anyone other than his base thinks.

Can you paint over his face please. I will not repost his face

If they flipping won at all...

Like everything about DonOLD, it’s much smaller than he’d have you believe.

They didn't win. WE lost.

Irrelevant. They will say, and act as if they do have a mandate.

The truth is irrelevant to maga maniacs. It doesn't matter that he lost in 2020, that he absconded with top secret dox, that j6 was violent, that the economy improved under Biden, that he DID rape Ms. Carroll, or that women are dying and trans folks aren't a threat. Truth is dead.

Don't tell @privateeyenews.bsky.social - according to them it's a landslide ...

Trump got fewer votes in 2024 than in 2020.

I'll keep saying it. His margin of victory was pathetic. He should have steamrolled an incumbent who was dealt the bad hand Biden/Harris got. Instead, he didn't even get 50% of the pop vote.

Mass deportation was the lead promise, next to dismantling federal agencies and going after people he doesn't like. This is the GOP platform that majority voters knew most, when voting for him. THIS IS a mandate. I don't approve it. But still a mandate.

Only a problem for those who believe governance is meant to benefit everyone. Rather than rage over what he will/is doing to democracy, we need to shine a spotlight on his hypocrisy. We must win back the thin margin that forgot how bad he was and others who bet he might be different this time.

the A5sociated Pr3ss still saying he got 50+% of the popular vote, when we know that's not true.

A-fricken-men.

It is a mandate only because he says it's a mandate.

I hope so. I hope his not-a-mandate matters to SOMEONE.
