Bingo. And if a Democrat ever wins the EC but loses the PV, those crybaby mothefuckers will never stop whining about it. ---

Bafflingly, Trump won the popular vote once all votes were counted in 2024. Unless you mean that he didn’t get to 50%. ---

But since it’s anti-Trump, I’m guessing any spin on this is acceptable to the majority here. My spin is if you became President you won the election.

Don’t confuse them with facts. Because then Trump would be tied with John Adams and Benjamin Harrison as a President that lost the popular vote twice which completely destroys their narrative. ---

> [@wguy123](#): > > Trump has lost the majority more than any other president. And yes, plenty of others have won a majority. BTW, this makes Trump the biggest loser in presidential elections. One: Tied for the lead with two others so “more than any other President” is an error. Two: The usage of “loser” is at best ambiguous. Loser of the popular vote does not equal loser in the election. If let’s say Harris had won the Electoral Vote in 2024 with the same popular vote total, would this board be calling her the loser of the election? ---

> [@Mundane\_Super\_Hero](#): > > A MAGA was trying to enter a bar that was LGBTQ+ friendly while filming and trying to cause trouble. The Chatterbox is in Indy, and is one of the coolest bars in town. It has an extremely legitimate jazz scene that I k ow little about, but am told that jazz musicians and fans come from around the world to visit. Glad to see management give another reason to support them. ---

There is a slight downside to this leopard-eating-faces stuff, and it’s that right now a lot of news shows are preferentially interviewing people who voted for Trump. As though, if you have a legitimate grievance, that you’ve lost your job or had your human rights trampled on…well, if it turns out you voted for Harris you might just be saying all that because you hate Trump. You need to say you voted for Trump to make it “real”. I might be hypersensitive to it because, here in the UK, almost all Brexit discussions are framed around people who voted Brexit and how they feel about it now. And yes, many acknowledge that it’s been a clusterfook, but you never hear actual pro-EU voices because those people generally didn’t vote Leave in 2016. ---

And yes, many acknowledge that it’s been a clusterfook, but you never hear actual pro-EU voices because those people generally didn’t vote Leave in 2016. You make a valid point. I think part of it is because people who voted Harris and everyone else knew they’d get fucked over if Trump won. In sense, it isn’t really news. But for many Trump supporters, they’re finding out, but I fear we won’t reach a critical mass where they’ll turn on him. Even when Trump hurt my MAGA sister, she pretty quickly excused his actions as reasonable. ---

Not only that, I think these kind of stories create a false narrative that Trump is losing popularity when he has never been more popular. These stories are click bait, and the fact is his base will never abandon him.
