It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races.
This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

Propaganda is a necessary part of fascism.

CNN has a long history of airing outright lies, and has had to pay millions in defamation lawsuits.
MSNBC regularly lies on the air by saying lies like all Trump supporters are violent right wing extremists.
You’ve drank the kool-Aid. The entire idea that the mainstream media is dem propaganda is fucking insane.
CNN only just calmed their hate machine down when Jeff Zucker resigned.
Our legacy media doesn’t know how to challenge conservative narratives.
Among White voters, they have majority voted for the most racist candidates for decades and will continue to do so.
Oh Hank. :(
It’s repeated ad infinitum so that it becomes truth in people’s heads and they accept it.
And they're right, especially when their constituents' only criteria is to vote Republican.
Similarly, “overwhelming mandate” is when one of the men is finding it all a bit too much, and asks if they can just go somewhere quiet and chat.
Something the Republican party is actually really good at is image projection. Unlike the Dems, they will make one claim as a party line and repeat repeat repeat
Less easy to see why everyone else isn’t pushing back hard on the narrative.
The margin between Harris and T in the popular vote was only 1.5 % (49.8% vs 48.3%).
Definately NOT A MANDATE!
Poor Democratic messaging Once again!
It’s almost like Democrats are TRYING to do marketing for MAGA.
Repeat a lie often enough, and people believe it to be true.
Q:”Mr. President, can you explain the thought process behind *blatantly unconstitutional action*?”
A:“The people elected us, and gave us a mandate”
And the media accepts it as an answer
I don't get why no one is correcting him, regularly and to his face.
What funding was allocated by Congress and signed by the president are they drawing from?
**This is back of napkin math. Number of R&EV may change
So that’s… fun?
You guys need to ask a doctor with a g last name how you transition to democracy.
It is a mandate.
And it’s abundantly clear that this election was insanely compromised…from direct statements made by Trump, Elon’s kid, precincts reporting ZERO ballots for Harris…
The math isn’t mathing.
This is an administration of deceit and gaslighting.
Also popular vote margins (and popular votes in general) really don't mean much when US voter turnout is so abysmally bad.
75 million Americans voted for Trump.
✨170 million eligible voters did NOT vote for Trump.✨
Trump’s modus operandi is always to spin every failure as a success.
If he can’t do that, then he has to blame his failures on someone else or accuse his opponent of cheating.
Especially when he’s the one who’s cheating.
Always assume the worst about him and you’ll never be wrong.

I hadn't noticed.
① perhaps the colorist didn't do their job correctly
② there was a problem with Adobe Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint or Procreate
③ it was done intentionally as an "easter egg" for you to find
That is why.
Mainstream media doesn't want us to remember this.

Elon is high AF.
The “news” folks make more money with outrage.
~30% of our country will believe anything, if it makes them feel mildly superior to someone else, because they are hella insecure.
Another ~30% doesn’t pay attention, because they don’t got time for that.
I am wondering where this fits in the groups you have identified?
And then the process happens again in 2032
And again in 2036
Because you people are so delusional.
In fact, we actually had a primary where Republicans were fighting over their Republican choices. DeSantis voters against Trump voters against Haley voters.
How about Xi Jinping?
Kim Jung Un?
Our two party system is broken and a *plurality* of eligible voters chose not to vote.
A plurality of voters either thought their vote didn’t matter, or that whatever they voted for wouldn’t make a difference. 😔
Of course, they lie but that's what they are good at these days...
