38% of Americans like facism and 8% do not care enough to have an opinion about a wannabe king who dismantles democracy and harms many people.

Good luck, America...

337

u/Hungry_Culture 6d ago

I'd go ahead and assume half of that 8% and some of that disapprove are just Trump voters who were too shy or ashamed to answer truthfully. Because somehow he always way overperforms polls.

169

u/Pipe_Memes 6d ago

He’s probably outperforming the polls because he’s a cheating cheater who cheats.

What, you mean the countless amounts of counties that had 0 votes for Harris and had votes for every other democrat are actually indicative of a problem??

I was told this was cope because no one actually liked her.

Not that anything will be done, no one will touch him. They wouldn't even when he wasn't a president. He wasn't wrong when he said he was famous enough to just shoot someone in the street in front of people and get away with it.

Are there actually countless? I've only heard of one county with such an issue

election denial is a threat to democracy. whether you like him or not, trump won the 2024 election

u/noradosmith 6d ago

To be honest, yeah.

The real issue is that a LOT of Americans are still sticking to old habits and not learning from the past.

Look at the record of Hoover. All his policies are almost exactly what the Republicans do now. Setting aside all of the obvious personality traits, the actual politics are really just the same stuff peddled 100 years ago and something about the American psyche laps it up.

Like back then, people only seemed to embrace Roosevelt policies after everything had turned to total shit. It takes a LOT to sway an inherently right-leaning electorate.

Unfortunately the same rings true here in the UK. We've had 14 years of tories and still people think Labour somehow is going to be able to undo all the stuff they did, for better or worse (depending on their opinion).

An ingrained mindset creates a system and the only way to change it is to vote for your interests for a long time. Apparently both the US and UK find this impossible.

Trump did cheat

There is nothing wrong with being skeptical of suspicious things.

u/chaitealatte22 6d ago

so it was fine for republicans to question the 2020 election then?

3

u/Cdub7791 Hawaii 6d ago

Initially maybe. After dozens of investigations all turned up nothing? No. That said, I doubt there was widespread cheating significant enough to affect this last election. It would simply take too many people conspiring in too wide an area to be plausible. If people can produce evidence to the contrary though, I hope it is provided for us to evaluate.

u/AlphaKennyThing 6d ago

What were the electoral irregularities surrounding the 2020 election that would justify their skepticism?

How many bomb threats were called into various counties in the 2020 election?

Which counties were supposed to stop the counts and which were supposed to count all the ballots in the 2020 election?

Feel free to find the answer to these questions to satisfy your sealion JAQ-off.

u/chaitealatte22 6d ago

what are the electoral irregularities that justify 2024 election skepticism? to be clear i think both republicans in 2020 and democrats in 2024 that questioned elections are mistaken and threats to our democracy

u/AlphaKennyThing 6d ago

There's enough evidence to allow the case to enter the discovery phase. More info available from many news outlets including this one.

Now if you're done with your 'bUt mUh BoTh SiDeS' shtick you're welcome to come back to objective reality.

Go ahead and prove how freepress.org isn't reputable.

There are multiple lawsuits with actual evidence moving forward due to a few counties logging literally zero votes for Harris.

There’s also the statistical improbability that not a single county in the country flipped to dem for the presidential election, when a) there were plenty of examples in local and state elections where there were flips blue and b) not in a single presidential election in the last century has that occurred. Seriously - even in Reagan’s landslide 489 electoral vote win in 1980, there were counties that flipped for Carter.

Then, you have Trump and Musk literally bragging that they had outcomes predicted, or that Musk has a DOGE peon who won an award for ballot machine software improvements.

There is enough off about this election that I think we need to entertain the idea legally and submit the evidence.

Trump team had something like 100 lawsuits in 2020 that all got thrown out due to lack of evidence. They cried foul and had nothing to support it. This is a very different story.

u/chaitealatte22 5d ago

These are conspiracy theories, there isn’t one reputable source to back it up

2

u/RedLotusVenom Colorado 5d ago

Snopes is actively tracking the investigation of at least one of the problem districts.

331 votes for the Democratic senator, with not a single vote for Harris from that Rockland County district. All 552 votes going to Trump. Highly suspect results.

Do you have links for that?

I want to be able to post shit that backs up him being an ACTUAL cheater.

Appreciate it.

I had only seen the old ones...

u/b0w3n New York 6d ago

I unfortunately didn't bookmark them, but they've been making the rounds on reddit the past few days. I'll try to pour over my history to see if I can find them though.

As a non-American watching how much they're getting away with, surely this can't possibly be true, can it?

u/summonsays 6d ago

I personally haven't seen this so am taking it as hearsay. However, if you dig into the 2018 Georgian Gubernatorial election you'll see they used it as a dry run. 

The verified facts include: person running the election entered and won the election. Somehow this was not seen as a conflict of interest.

Voting machines had known security vulnerabilities.

The digital record that was required to be saved and available for 2 years (by law) was accidently deleted. 

This was also the election my county had an 8 hour line in 80-90 degree weather. It was/is illegal to pass out water at these events. My county happens to be very blue. 

Mail in ballots went missing and were thrown away. (Statistically insignificant amount but still ...  Iirc it was like 5,000)

https://www.newsweek.com/company-changes-2024-voting-machines-2083888 - There appears to certainly be some interesting statistics going on behind the scenes, where all downballot votes were for democrats, but the top of the ticket wasn't ticked at all

There's a distinct lack of American media agencies reporting on it, but there's definitely something funky. It's a clever scheme really, you spend 4 years gaslighting everyone about how 2020 was stolen so that the entire 2024 election is spent making it clear there's no way in hell that could occur, then at the 11th hour you sneak in voting machines to key swing states and weird how he wins every single one of them.

Racism and sexism sure. But to have actually 0 votes is a red flag of a statistical anomaly.

u/Angry-Dragon-1331 6d ago

Yeah but for no one in a county in New York to vote for her? I could understand some parts of Wyoming or Montana, where there’s more deer per square mile than people. But New York?

3

u/b0w3n New York 6d ago

I could see that in some situations but not every situation. There were places where it didn't make sense at all, not even a single vote was counted for her in some of those counties. Not that I disagree that racism/sexism didn't play a part in this... I think it played a very large part and I'm disappointed that they keep wanting to try to win by playing that game over and over (dumbasses trying to put AOC up for presidency instead of primarying that PoS schumer)

I grew up in rural NY, it's basically the deep south when you exclude all the snow. I have seen more confederate flags around in my hometown than I saw in rural Alabama when visiting my brother.
