Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, December 17, 2024

Trump's landslide victory wasn't just defined by the swing states. He picked up territory nationwide, securing 10-point gains in some counties in Texas and making huge inroads in California. Washington was the only state that did not swing towards the Republicans in 2024, illustrating the extent of the political shift that occurred. As such, Trump is on course to become the first Republican candidate to win the popular vote in 20 years.

God you're just so stupid. Trump barely won. It was no landslide victory.

Trumpy's victory is just more proof that propaganda and lies can work on a very large number of Americans and are a harbinger of things to come. Especially with AI already here. And the things this election portends are not good things.

It will be quite interesting to hear boazo try to brag and gloat 2 years from now after we all see the devastating results of choosing a corrupt and hateful narcissist who is determined to wage a war of revenge and retribution on his political enemies as President of the formerly United States.

Hubris has already destroyed many a civilization. What's one more?

It's funny how Laura says what says and there's actual proof that Trump won the popular vote and won by 7 million votes. You can try and reduce it all you want.

Trump won the popular vote by 2.2 million votes, or 1.4%.

It's so easy to check this stuff but you don't bother to do so.

And you can gloat and inflate your crowd sizes all you want.

It was not a mandate. Better pick your first battle very carefully. It may be the only one you win. If you can win anything with this upcoming Congress.

He won by 121K votes in 3 swing states... and less than 50 percent of all votes.

His only 'man date" is with Vlad.

There's my literal, reality changing liberal.

He won by 7 million votes. But you can cloud the mind of your slave progressive idiots.

Most of those 7 million were not in swing states, so...

"Expert says '121,000 votes in 3 swing states' were key in Harris' defeat

Shift in these votes across Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin " all swing states " would have produced a different outcome with Harris winning over Trump, says David Schultz."

Like I said.

However, Trump still would have won the 2024 presidential election even if the winner was decided by popular vote, as he garnered roughly 2 million more votes than his Democratic counterpart, Vice President Kamala Harris.

By your logic you have been arguing with me for the last 4 years, popular vote matters.

And no one is reporting that he only won by 121K. No one gives a ----. That's because it's a disingenuous stat.

That's hilarious. Obviously you missed your calling in comedy.

But look on the bright side, if Vlad doesn't show up to be his man date, that's your big chance!

That means Kamala did worse. What does that say about her?

Obviously, she's not the one who is claiming some great mandate, that would be your Hero.

I'm sure you could have come up with that on your own.

I even have a Christmas present for you:

Decent article that eviscerates the poster's premise and further assertions.

All that aside, what's the problem with being literal, Boaz? No interpretation involved. Does that bother you?

Reality seems to be whatever you think it is. Just like your impressions of the state of North Carolina.
