    Ok bro, and what about the DEMOCRATS that didn’t vote this time around??

    How did Harris lose 10-15 million votes + Trump lost 2 million votes from 2020 if EVERY INDEPENDENT from 2020 voted Trump?

      All anyone has regarding that is annecdotal. But in my experience many friends, family, coworkers who voted democrat in 2020 were convinced by republican ads that democrats were to blame for the inflation caused by Covid and price gouging.

        We literally have the numbers, it’s called “counting the ballots”. What in the post-fact world?

        This has to be a troll.

          Voter turnout was a record high never before seen in 2020 because of the pandemic.

          Less people voted overall in 2024 because no pandemic.

          Not rocket science.
