The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

it was the votes from Blacks, Hispanics, minorities, urban women, the younger generation

Yes, that's not in dispute. Don't forget to include those who said they simply wouldn't vote for a woman to be POTUS. Hard to imagine in this, the 21st century.

Trump won by a landslide

Whoops, you're 'trumping' again ***, and just as we were finding common ground. Trump’s margin was less than half of what Biden got four years ago.

Just out of curiousity, what's your source for your, uh, unfortunate intentional 'landslide' misinformation? (New Years Resolution: Use less f-bombs as adverbs/adjectives).

In any case, comparing Trump to Biden or Harris is no refutation of the orange liars defrauding, raping, mysoginistic, racist character and values that you apparently share.

*** - Measured both by vote percentages and by raw votes, Trump’s margin of victory is modest, even compared with this century’s other close elections.
For votes counted through Nov. 20, Trump’s margin over Harris was 1.62 percent. That’s smaller than any winner since Bush in 2000, when the margin was 0.51 percent. Going back further, only John F. Kennedy in 1960 and Nixon in 1968 won the popular vote by smaller margins, 0.17 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively.
Using raw votes, Trump’s margin was also smaller than in any election going back to 2000. At about 2.5 million, it was the fifth-smallest popular vote margin since 1960.
