Only 40%.
Still terrifyingly high.

Damn, so what you're saying is that it still isn't 50%. Crazy.
If you think the .2% matters I'm going to start listing propaganda talking points from the 2024 presidential election cycle.
lol.
Well, if digging a moat was the goal the US certainly is there. Canada will have a field day with European tourists during football world cup.
No he didn't. They cheated, and we ALL know it. Perhaps the greatest crime of appeasement the Dems have done so far has been to let MAGA get away with the biggest election fraud in American history.
Election fraud?
Let's be real here, majority of Americans are stupid, particularly the Latino and black male voters that swung right this election. You reap what you sow
Yeah, election fraud. You claim it was disgruntled male black and Hispanic voters. Others claim it was young people refusing to vote over Israel. Others think it was a massive vote boycott because they were pissed that Harris didn't go through a primary process. Everybody is grasping at any explanation that is NOT Election Fraud.
The OFFICIAL excuse that BOTH sides like to point to, are millions of ballots that were straight Democratic tickets, with Trump at the top, and ALL in the Swing States. Supposedly, there are MILLIONS of them, so many that they turned the election.
Apparently the Swing States have lots of these Trump-loving Democrats, and they don't live anywhere else but those 7 states. I'd love to see one of these people get interviewed, and explain their thinking, but I've never seen such an interview. I've never heard of such a person. I, personally, have never spoken to anyone who voted like that, although MAGAs, and weak Democrats, claim that it's 100% true.
I don't believe those people exist at all. I think the Trump/ Musk/ Putin Election Scheme was simple - just change the Presidential pick on enough ballots, in only the seven Swing States, to win AND, since they can adjust the switch parameters to any percentage they want, they made it big enough that he could finally be the first Republican to claim the popular vote in almost 40 years.
Rigging one election in only 7 states was pretty easy, once they had control of the voting machines, but it is far more difficult to rig hundreds of Congressional and Senate races. Doing that same sort of vote-switching would be much more difficult for Congressional and Senate races, where the elections are spread out everywhere, there are alternative methods of voting, and the vote counts are much smaller and harder to camouflage.
The best way to avoid getting clobbered in the 2026 Midterms, is to make sure there isn't a 2026 Midterms. That will happen at the end of next summer. Expect all three rings to be chaotic at next summer's circus, before the impose Martial Law, and suspend elections for the first time in American history.
Then our Democracy has officially ended, and it's on.
77,302,580 people is not half of America. It is 49.8% of the folks that bothered to vote.

It's right there, 2nd line of the post you're replying to.
