Republicans – Let’s Be Honest

I recently received a flyer listing the dire consequences if the Republicans did not gain the Presidency. Among them was the possibility of statehood for Washington DC. OMG! The U.S. citizens living in our capitol city might have the same representation in Congress as those living in Wyoming, whom they outnumber! OMG!

Republicans don’t favor democracy! If they did they would support eliminating the electoral college, which allows a candidate who loses by 10 million votes to become President.

So, dear Republicans, please be honest. And when you talk about freedom on the 4th of July, acknowledge that you mean the freedom of a minority to rule over the majority; and that you would prefer any type of authoritarian government to one legitimately elected by voters whom your leader calls “devils.”

All About Voter Turnout

As of Nov. 12, days after the Electoral College (got to get rid of it) had decided the winner of the 2024 presidential election, the voter ballots continue to be counted to this date.

Donald Trump’s voter turnout from the 2020 presidential election (approximately 74 million) compared to the 2024 presidential election (approximately 75 million) was an “increase” of approximately one million votes, generated from his political base.

Joe Biden/Kamala Harris voter turnout from the 2020 presidential election (approximately 81 million votes, an historic record) compared to the Kamala Harris 2024 presidential election run (approximately 72 million) was a “decrease” of approximately nine million votes, “snubbed out” from her political base.

Deductive Reasoning: 

The reason why Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election is because of the dreadfully low turnout for Kamala Harris and her Democrat party compared to that of the 2020 presidential election. The loyal base of that party just stayed home and did not vote, for whatever reason; and not because of young Black men or Hispanic men or Latino men, or any of that other nonsense.

Note: In 2024, the country of Mexico elected its first woman president (Claudia Sheinbaum) in its more than 200 years of independence. 

’Nuff said.
