So because Trump's lies about the election have torn at the faith in the foundation of our Republic, I've made it my business to debunk his silly lies. Because he won't stop lying, I won't stop highlighting different aspects of the fact that he lies and that he lost.

And so ...
There are 10 states in which Trump got the lowest margins of any Republican Presidential candidate since at least the 2000 election. Meaning, he either won by the barest margin of any Republican. Or he lost worse than any Republican in that time period.
3 of these 10 states are states that Trump won in spite of the fact that he won them by slimmer margins than any other Republican in a good long time. 7 of them are blue states. Including states that he contested were supposedly "rigged."

So look at these graphs.
States that Trump won in 2020 but in which he won by the slimmest margin of any Republican since your cell phone was the size of your laptop ...

Alaska. Trump won Alaska in 2020. But the last time a Republican won it by a smaller margin was back in 1992.
Kansas

Trump won Kansas in 2020. But the last time a Republican won Kansas by a slimmer margin than Trump won it last year was back in 1992. One county in Kansas, Riley County, went blue for the first time in its entire existence last November.
Texas

Trump won Texas by the barest margin since Bob Dole in the 1996 election.
Now for the states that Trump lost worse than any Republican in a while. In some cases, a long, long while ...

Arizona

Trump was the first Republican to lose Arizona since the 1996 election. No bamboo was discovered during the researching of this fact.
Colorado

Colorado USED to be a solidly red state not that long ago. It's stayed blue since the 2008 election. And Trump lost the state worse than any Republican since Barry Goldwater in 1964.
Georgia

Trump raised a fit (and most likely committed a crime by asking Secretary of State Raffensperger to "find" votes) about Georgia. He was the first Republican to lose the state since the 1992 Election. But it's clearly not just Georgia that is the problem for him.
Maryland

Maryland has been solid blue since the 1992 election. But still, this is ridiculous. Trump did worse in Maryland than any Republican Presidential candidate since the 1868 election. No typo. EIGHTEEN sixty-eight. People talked about Lincoln then like "yeah, I met him."
Massachusetts

Trump lost MA by a larger margin than any Republican since Goldwater in 1964. Now people in Mass might have disliked the Bushes. But NOTHING like as much as they grew to dislike Trump.
Virginia

Former solidly red state which went blue in 2008 and never flipped red again. You have to go all the way back to 1942 to find a Republican who lost Virginia worse than Trump did in 2020.

Irony: Trump hadn't even been born yet.

Suppose that Kamala Harris were to became the nominee.

Let me tell you exactly how that would play out. If it happens, let’s review this thread in a few months to see if I called it right.
In the same way that a canine absolutely cannot resist the smell of chicken, the bastardized mixture of white grievance and overgrown brattiness that makes up the most vocal and energized faction of “conservative” leadership cannot help but attack black women. It’s instinctive.
I think it’s because a lot of these Tucker Carlson/Marjorie Taylor Greene/Matt Gaetz/TPUSA types are both racist and sexist. And entitled. And, in spite of having been dealt a pretty good hand in life, still resentful.

7 of the 9 U.S. Supreme Court Justices Would Not Be on the Court if:

Presidential Elections in 3 or fewer states decided by less than 3% had gone the other way

AND/OR

If U.S. Senate Elections in 3 or fewer states decided by less than 3% had gone the other way.

Vote! Image
Here's how YOUR votes, just regular people deciding to vote or not vote in Presidential and U.S. Senate elections, affects who gets onto the Supreme Court for life.

Where they no longer have to answer to anybody and make decisions about all of our lives. Image
Clarence Thomas is currently the ninth longest-tenured Supreme Court Justice in U.S. history.

But if Republicans hadn't narrowly won these three Senate elections in 1988, he would not have gotten confirmed. Image

Both major political parties have l extreme factions.

I find the Democratic fringe more annoying than scary since they don’t tend to be planning a civil war.

I find the Republican fringe frightening because they seem to be daydreaming about it.

But there’s another difference.
The farthest-left Democrats do not control their party. There have been countless examples over the last few years of a more left-leaning Democrat losing a PRIMARY to a more moderate Democrat.

Ilhan Omar nearly lost the Democratic Primary in Minnesota in 2022.
But on the Republican side, the nuttiest talking, hang-em-high, arrest Fauci, blood of patriots lunatics might not win the General Election. But they’re probably gonna win the Republican Primary.

The Presidential Election, like every other election, is a job interview. We're down to two candidates, exactly one of whom is going to get the job next January.

Let's look at the candidates on paper.

If you look at public polling, the approval ratings for the U.S. Supreme Court have fallen by about 26 points or so in the last three years. A lot of people disapprove of the Court today.

But they don't understand how their own votes in elections shapes the Supreme Court. Image
In the most significant example, the decisions of voters in just three states in the 2016 Presidential Election effectively determined the composition for one-third of the Supreme Court.

Another election in which many people disliked both candidates. And many didn't vote. Image
But it's not just about the Presidential Election. The majority of the Justices on the Supreme Court were confirmed by five votes or less in the U.S. Senate. And every one of those Senators were themselves elected in close elections in which a lot of people didn't vote. Image

The reason why some people think of Trump as some sort of powerful he-man, which he’s absolutely not, is because many people can’t tell the difference between macho performative crap and actually being a strong, solid man.
Trump is the guy who will flex for the cameras, growl at WWE matches and do all the things that middle school boys who are trying to prove to everyone else that they’re tough do. That’s why he does well with folks who gravitate to hype and showmanship.
But when he has a setback, which, let’s be honest, is usually the result of something he himself did, he just whines like the whiniest whiner who ever whined. “V” for “victim.” The whole world is unfair to him.

But he’s supposedly the man.
