Other than after 9/11 when we were lied to about the war, Republicans haven’t won the popular vote in my lifetime.

They’ve also never won with anyone who isn’t Trump in 20 years.

The tone-deafness of this reply is pretty ridiculous considering how badly he fucked up. He disbanded the team who was supposed to respond to this disaster, denied it was a big deal, told people not to vaccinate when he got the shot, and politicized a public health issue unnecessarily.

It is estimated hundred of thousands of less deaths would have happened if Trump had just done his job and not spent his time grandstanding and demonizing public health officials. To put that in perspective, that is more US deaths than every single conflict since WWII combined.

So yeah, when you are purposely killing hundreds of thousands of Americans while hand waving it away like it is no big deal you get to own that. The reason unemployment was so bad was because of Trump not COVID.

To top it off, the Biden administration turned it all around and showed us how much of a dysfunctional shit show the previous administration was. To this day places that drank the Trump Kool aid still have higher deaths rates.

Unfortunately losing the popular vote doesn’t mean he loses the election. Here’s to hoping he loses both.

He is 100% guaranteed to lose the popular vote by millions. Unfortunately, that doesn’t determine whether he wins the election.

He may very well qualify as the person hated by the most people worldwide in his lifetime.

World population in 1945 - 2.3 billion

World population in 2024 - 8.2 billion

I’m talking numbers, not percentages (although Trump might still have Hitler beat there as well, thanks to the internet).

I was born decades after Hitler died and I hate him.

Wait, just saw the lifetime thing

Anyways you’d be surprised by the amount of people uncaring of American politics in India and china, or even supporting trump.

After Nixon resigned in disgrace, America voted in a Democrat…and then booted him out and went back to Republicans for 12 years.

Most recently, other than Trump, George HW Bush lost the election while incumbent. Prior to that it was Jimmy Carter.

The next most recent person to win the election but lose the popular vote was George W Bush, prior to that is was Harrison back in 1888.
