Election really wasnt close. But yeah 70million is still an insane number.
That said hes not done himself any favours with the whole rigged election crap. His polling is at its lowest right now. Was completely the wrong play if he really wanted a 2024 come back.

I think they can, I think it's just a matter of the difficulty in facing that all of the lies have in fact been lied. It's got to be hard to face that you were lied to and believed it, all this Q stuff and everything. They may have alienated real people in their lives. I don't think it's as simple as "Oh I was wrong."In a way, I feel terrible. The cult mentality of what has occurred can really happen to anybody, and the effects can be as dangerous as we've seen.

Read your threads here, you are suffering from major cognitive dissonance to the point of a oblivion. You wake in BFA and take your first thought about a man you never met. You spend more time thinking about Trump than you do your own family. It would be funny if it wasn’t so bad of how much of a loser you are.

Well, I guess that's in the eye of the beholder, it wasn't a razor thin margin, but 81.2 million to 74.2 million, isn't an unbelievable defeat of Trump and Trumpism either...idk.

saddest part: this would have still applied if trumpers had peacefully protested, dc police were notified and prepared, and no violent far-right coup attempt happened

Stupid fcking liar can’t help himself 8% was the poll number and I bet that’s even over exaggerated

After 4 tumultuous years of the Trump Presidency. can we all put it behind us and see it like that season of Dallas, as "Just a bad dream". America dabbled in far-right popularism and the West and East Coasts pushed back. Now, is the time for healing. Like in America, the minority far-right and unacceptable views of Trumpers are the minority views of KMC GDF posters, but as in America, they are the most vocal and often most dishonest actors. So like Biden, I hold out the offer of Peace and I say without irony Make KMC Great Again! 🙂
Fake

Some of them for sure, we'll have "we were never really Trump supporters" flips at an exponential rate as time passes. They're welcome to it.
But there's always going to be QAnon types, that is here to stay. The name might change, but the mentally will be the same. eg These people existed years ago by another flavour, the "Jade Helm!", "Obama will suspend the election and declare himself king!", "Obama was born in Kenya!" and similar ranters.
