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.

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.

The election of four years ago has nothing to do with the recent election 2024, Trump vs Kamala.

Just out of curiousity, what's your source for your, uh, unfortunate intentional 'landslide' misinformation?

SNIP
“Trump is only the second Republican in the last thirty years to win the popular vote – G.W. Bush did so in 2004 but not in 2000 – as well as the first candidate in 132 years to win a non-consecutive term. His tally of 31 states with 312 electoral votes is the most impressive of any Republican candidate since Bush Senior in 1988.

Trump made historic gains among certain demographics this year. He won the highest share of black voters (16 per cent) of any recent Republican candidate, which does not sound impressive until we consider that the last Republican to come close was Ronald Reagan in 1980 (14 per cent). Only Richard Nixon, all the way back in 1960 – four years before the Civil Rights Act was passed – had a more impressive share at 32 per cent.

The disaggregated numbers are even more revealing: Trump doubled his share of black males since 2020 from 12 per cent to 24 per cent.

Trump may have won the greatest share of Latino voters of any Republican candidate ever. His share increased from 29 per cent in 2016 to 46 per cent in 2024, with up to 54 per cent of Hispanic men casting their ballots for Trump.”

I call it a landslide victory for Trump in the 2024 election. Perhaps you don’t, or perhaps you just don’t want to. It’s too painful to admit it.

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.
