Just a reminder that less than 25% of Americans “voted” for Trump. And there exists real possibility that he cheated the election. A recent NSA audit shows Harris won.

Also, Trump is a child rapist.

It's almost worse. 90 million don't care at all.

86 million people did not vote, so they were ok with him too. you can't just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence.

[-] pupbiru@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

given that it’s america, some portion of those couldn’t vote because they couldn’t get time off work, were purged from voter rolls, etc

i wouldn’t say most, but some

[-] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I agree one-day elections on a Tuesday where we don't even get off work is stupid and should change. But there are more options for voting early/by mail.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 22 hours ago

Or they don't live in a swing state...

How much did you donate to the Harris campaign? How much time did you spend volunteering for it. You can't just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence, after all.

[-] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Voting is more than not voting whatever whataboutism you spew.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

Wow, so you didn't think stopping fascism justified more than just voting in a non-swing state?

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

I can actually, since I'm not eligible to vote in the US. even if i were and didn't, that's not even in the same universe as not voting.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 15 hours ago

So you didn't donate? You didn't knock on doors? You can’t just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence!

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

I don't live in the US, nor am I from there, you slowpoke.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 hours ago

Ok? So? Why didn't you donate anyway. Why didn't you fly to the US and help with the campaign? You can’t just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence!

[-] appelkooskonfyt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

Why should people donate to a campaign? Honest question, in my country we don't do that.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 hours ago

To help it win? The same reason you should vote for it?

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

dude shut the fuck up you're so bad at this

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 hours ago

Damn, you really have no counter argument, do you.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

no because for that there would have to be an argument to counter. stupidity isn't an argument.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 hours ago

Lol. You're so bad at this

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

People keep pointing out stuff like this but a country that has even the barest amount of collective sanity wouldn’t have even let him get beyond the party primary. 25% is a staggering number. Ya’ll I know that it still matters to say it and I’m not saying to stop but I keep hearing it in a context that heavily implies the rest of the world is ignorant for “not getting it” when we definitely already know there are good people in the US. Like, yea, you’ve got a handful of decent people but even your large number of “moderates” are capitalist Nazi sympathizers so…

[-] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

large number of “moderates” are capitalist Nazi sympathizers so…

What an embarrassingly ignorant thing to say.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

If you look at literally anything the GOP is doing and are still on the fence you’re either impossibly ignorant or at least evil-adjacent and pretty ok with it. Being “moderate” in US politics is embarrassing as even the US “far left” is just the developed world’s center.

A US moderate is a joke.

At this point, the reaction (and non-reaction) of the general public has been enough to show me that there is tacit support. Each group has their "red line," I imagine, where they'll suddenly give a shit when their gardener gets deported or whatever... But somehow we haven't hit that line yet for most people, and it's fucking depressing.

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

It's incredibly depressing. But somehow there are still consequences for actual actions. We're so dispersed there hasn't been a point where someone has said they are going to oust him, and if they succeed whoever helps support won't get hung as a traitor.

Even if someone were to assassinate Trump, no one is organized to replace him. Vance isn't any better, nor anyone really in line. We can't just cut off Trump, we need to cut out the entire rotted party and treat every single one of them as traitors.

It was a story going around on reddit a couple of months ago about a guy claiming to be a whistleblower. Some guy claiming he was an ex intelligence agent or something, said he was part of an NSA audit on the election that showed definitively that Harris won, but his claims didn't have a lot of meat to them so I kind of discarded it as a hoax or whatever.

But there was some evidence presented by another account I can't remember. He showed some compelling irregularities in the results that seemed plausible. There is also the court case in NY with people signing affidavits claiming their votes were switched.

I'm on the shitter so I can't link anything right now, but hopefully that information from my poor recollection will help you find what you're looking for.

[-] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

That person is a liar making shit up to get attention on the internet. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a pro-Trump troll. Since NOTHING makes us look stupider than repeating their Stop the Steal non-sense.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I did the math. I’ll see if I can find it. It wasn’t 25%, so I don’t know where that number comes from. My number was ~32%, and I can’t remember if that was % population or registered voters.

E: Found it, it's 32% of the adult population, conspiracy theory notwithstanding.

Most Americans did not vote for Trump.

Here’s how it works:

*US Population, adult over 18: ~250 million.

*Of that population, ~244 million are eligible to vote.

*Of eligible voters, only 63.9% voted.

*Of the 63.9%, less than half, 49.8%, went to Trump. To re-emphasize that point, Trump did not get more than 50%.

*Harris got 48.3%

*The ~1% difference voted third party.

The math is pretty basic. 63.9% of 250 million is 159.7 million voting, 49.8% of that voting for trump is 79.5 million.

So out of 250 million, ~32% actually voted for trump. The rest is the issue with the electoral college, but we’re talking people, not the EC.

[-] hightrix@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Your math is probably better than mine. I did a simple votes / total population.

Thanks for the info!

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

YW. I gotta note a small wording error in my final statement, it’s 32% of the 244M (the voting population), not the 250M US population.
