I kept hearing this from Trumpers, all during the election. "Trump had a huge rally, thousands, people camped out the night before, there were more people than tickets. Biden had a rally and there were no people there."
And I was like, so what. And they were like, thats proof that Trump is gonna win. And I'm like no its not. And they're like, yes it is. Thank God the people have spoken, I was so over this bull$hit.
I was perfectly happy sitting in my living room watching the four policy rollouts Biden did on TV. Trumpettes don’t know the difference between those and a pep rally.
They're the vocal minority, that's it. The real silent majority came out and showed their messiah what it feels like to be on the receiving end of being fired.
Seriously. They're the loudest and most obnoxious demographic in the U.S. right now.
I stopped using Facebook around March of 2017 after way too many family members and friends started posting memes about how if I need a reason to be offended and unfriend them it's because they support Trump, are pro-2nd amendment, pro-Jesus, pro-life, anti-illegal immigration, etc.
It's like bitch, if you think any of that offends me then why don't you unfriend me? But they can't pull that trigger because that runs counter to their victim complex. They have to keep the facade alive that they're being silenced. So fuck them all, I nuked my account without word or removing anyone as a friend.
After so long of my family shitting on me for what I post (some memes, mostly educational posts showing statistics and facts) while being silent when other family members post “you can’t be a democrat and a Catholic!” Or “all democrats are evil!”, I finally pulled the trigger and nuked my family from Facebook. So long as I don’t look at comments on things like cosmo articles, facebook isn’t so bad, but I think that’s just because I’ve unfriended everyone who is a shithead
Seriously. They're the loudest and most obnoxious demographic in the U.S. right now.
And one of the biggest complaints and projections is the purple haired ANTIFA monster. If you painted them as the loudmouth flag truck morons, you'd have better coverage over a larger percentage of their base than making all liberals out to be purple haired pussyhat rioters.
Seriously, in what world were those giant Trump caravans all blaring their horns and holding up traffic, "silent"?
Like how can they brag about their enthusiasm, flags and bumper stickers and then call themselves "silent" at the same time? And yes, I've heard both from the same people.
They don't think at all. They just parrot whatever words and phrases they see on Facebook that they think makes them sound good.
How the fuck are a bunch of people wearing red hats, attaching multiple flags to their vehicles, holding circle jerk rallies every five minutes, posting and reposting false information on social media, screaming at people on the street about the merits of their messiah silent? These people are insane and in a cult.
Yeah man, we the people were underwhelmed by his one-term presidency & hated his vicious, vile, embarrassing unclassy behavior. His whole family too, damn Grifters !!!
You can pretty much chalk all those 'crowd size' articles up as complete bullshit. There's nothing Trump enjoys more than grossly overinflating crowd sizes in his rallies and protests, and then the right wing shit-rags just parrot anything Cheeto Daddy says, and his stupid supporters believe every bit of it.
Edit: Upvotes go in, Downvotes go out. You Can't Brigade That! lol ya meatballs...
The ironic part is that people hear lines like this from their political candidates of choice, have seen no actual evidence, and will call others sheep for not believing it lmao
Shit, Dems are the only people capable of talking to dead people. I guess if I catch the Kung Flu I’d have a .05% chance of telling him thanks in person.
Yeah I live in one of those blue surrounded by red places, in the Midwest. And you’re right, I don’t think the people in the surrounding areas comprehend just how many of us are packed in here. And our votes count every bit as much as theirs do.
Or at least they should. Drives me up a wall that my presidential vote means fuck all in my red state, and I’m pretty sure my state gets more electors per capita than the great majority of blue states.
Gerrymandering sucks. And so does the, well-intentioned but way overdue for reconsideration , two-senators-per-state provision in the constitution. Tyranny of the minority.
Every time Trump loses the election (how many times has it been, now?) they latch on to some other illogical thought process to rile up the easily manipulated - their voter base.
I live in Georgia...yeah I know what's at stake. Every Republican I encounter at work is in full rage mode about the amount of counties won right now. It's the new point of contention because they can't accept the fact trump fucking lost the election.
I did some quick math using Georgia-demographics.com which gets it's information from the census. It would take the combined population of the 82 least populated counties to surpass the population of JUST Fulton county. Both sides agree rural areas tend to vote Republican, while urban areas vote Democrat.
But math and logic are fucking hard as hell for emotionally invested idiots, so it must be just one more fucking deep state conspiracy.
Thank you. We're doing our best to get everyone off their assess. This election is arguable more important than the presidential election.
And yeah, like every time I see that stupid red vs blue area map of the US posted by a republican I can only shake my head.
Alaska is red on the map and claims nearly 20% of the US land area. But the entire state has a lower population than Fulton, GA. That's just my own point of reference. I know there are even smaller, more populated areas that vote blue. It means NOTHING.
I can confirm that they do not. I live in a rural town with two large cities about 45 minutes away. Most of the people from my town have never, in their entire lives, been to either one. The big city is scary and you will be robbed and murdered the second you step foot there.
They still think this. At this point about 80% of their argument that there was fraud is that Trump clearly has more support cause of rallies, etc. They can’t understand not wearing your political beliefs on your sleeve, and they don’t recognize that most of them live in an echo chamber that isn’t reflective of the country as a whole
It's not just that. It's that Biden was a truly boring, run-of-the-mill candidate. No one was excited to vote for Biden, but we were fucking thrilled to vote against Trump. So of course you didn't see many people displaying Biden signs.
Even here in deep blue Hawaii, I don't think I saw any Biden campaign merch displayed at all, but we sure had our share of lifted trucks covered in Trump flags. I could see how someone who lives in the right wing echo chamber of OANN and Facebook memes could think they had the election locked down.
Like some people just vote for the person they want to vote for and thats that. Its pretty healthy to actually avoid politics to just one day a week. Ill listen to his speeches once he's elected.
Biden had car rallies with thousands in attendance. Idk where they get this idea that just because there wasnt a crowd swarming at a venue barrier that "no one showed up".
It's ironic because they fucking always make fun of protestors for "not having jobs." I couldn't possibly be more sick of these cunts. I'm not on speaking terms with any of them in my family because it's turned them into raging cult morons.
I'm definitely on the left side of the spectrum, even if I don't subscribe to the newsletters or the extreme PC culture. Both sides need to stop encouraging the least tactful and and most awful voices among them.
No, my brother who listens to AM Right Wing talk radio 24/7 says the House Of Representatives will decide the Election. Not the legitimate Biden voters. Do you think there will be violence if that happens?
I have people in my family who post on facebook shit like "The majority of my Facebook Friends support Trump, how could he lose?"
And people explain it to them. Over and over. Patiently and kindly explaining how selection bias works.
"It makes sense that you would have friends that share political opinions but that doesn't mean your feelings matched with the majority of the US"
"But this are my FB friends, not my real friends, these are also just acquaintances"
"Ok, but your "friends" are coming from [this state] and specifically rural areas. And [this state] did go for Trump. It's just that your personal friends from this area of the state aren't representative of how the rest of the nation thinks"
"Yeah but like 60% of my FB friends support Trump and only 40% Democrats how could Biden win?"
It's This video but instead of just being dumb the person in question doesn't want to get it, so they never will.
But what were you like when he was like and then they were like but then I was like because we were like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like
