By The Numbers - part the ninety fourth

Hot on the heels of #93 in this series, comes an odd occurrence. For uncounted (I'm way too lazy, and this editor makes it somewhat difficult) essays, I've taken up pen and paper to counter Hate filled, Petty, Paranoid, Demented, Dictator Don's frequent claim that he made an overwhelming, unprecedented mandate to destroy democracy as we know it, through the necessary action to destroy the woke Blue states. He never seems to figure out that the sub-GED knuckledraggers in the Red states have no chance to make the really neat stuff that we do. I guess he'll look the other way and get him some stuff from China?

By the same token, I don't have the time or bandwidth (or subscription monies) to monitor all the Lunatic Left pundits. Just a few. And none that I do follow have had the stones, or ambition, to make the obvious point. It is only today that I found support in the dead trees NYT this morning.

So, it is with a warm heart that I give you the writings of Jamelle Bouie who, as I, puts to print the truth: Hate filled, Petty, Paranoid, Demented, Dictator Don didn't even break 50% of the vote, much less mandate or landslide or whatever.

Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election with 49.8 percent of the national popular vote — compared with 48.3 percent for Vice President Kamala Harris — and 312 electoral votes to Harris's 226. In the 20 presidential elections since the end of World War II, Trump had the fourth-narrowest margin in the popular vote and seventh-narrowest in the Electoral College.

IOW, Everybody Else got more votes. Minority rule is the rule by totalitarianism. All hale King Donald the First.
