Isn't the count that Trump is basically the same or a little less than last time but Harris is way less than Biden?

That means your op is incorrect, well correct but incorrect about why he won.

Yeah I mean, this is the whole game of politics. You don't campaign based on reality, you campaign based on what voters are asking for.

No, but people keep posting this misinformation in every topic. They haven't finished counting yet and when they do Trump will have much more and overall votes will be about the same.

Harris actually got more votes than Biden in the states that mattered

Trump just also got more votes than Bidenand Harris. And it makes no fucking sense that he got more people to vote for him after everything hes done

The GOP really harnessed the power of disinformation. It's sad how we can't even agree on facts anymore.

The GOP has spent decades specifically fighting education and critical thinking because a misinformed and uneducated voter is much, much more likely to vote Republican

We really need some readily accessible, regularly scheduled fact-based programming about the current state of the issues in the United States put on all popular platforms or something...

Information is clearly not distributed well enough to the average voter. There needs to be an absolutely massive education effort condensed into digestible formats.

We used to have the Fairness doctrine, where broadcast media was required to have some balance in their reporting.

That was nixed by Republicans in the Reagan years, since it was an impediment to their incessant lying.

Once the GOP are done there will no longer be any facts.

The history of Republican fuckery goes back a long way, and is good to know.

Another example is the Taft Hartley act from 1947 which was the first major step in the GOP's war on unions. Among other things, it is why states can have shitty anti-union "right to work" laws. Truman vetoed it, but enough Congressional Democrats joined with Republicans to override the veto.

Yup. Women are going to go back to being second class citizens pretty soon. And this is just the start.

well i had a feeling it could happen based on all the idiots blaming Biden for the wars in Gaza and Ukraine or for the inflation...

yet i still had a tiny sliver of hope that good sense would prevail. guess im a bigger idiot for believing that.

Do you know which group also wanted and got those things, and more, a few years ago?

Taliban insurgents, after they overthrew the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

This I agree with in spirit, but still. We have powerful handheld computers in our hands that grant us access to nearly all the information in the world. The average American voter has no excuse for being stupid and misinformed.
