Social Protests against immigration policy turn violent.

Say what you want about Rob Van Winkle, he wrote that shit when he was 16.

He was such a genius that Queen completely ripped his song off.

Blocking traffic will get people on your side .. Distrupers of society at it as usual.

"Ice Ice baby"

Funny, but unwise. Mind your surroundings.

Oh, so it’s not that he won the popular vote in that he got a higher share than Harris, it’s that he wasn’t over 50%.

Well both are true, he won the popular vote by getting a larger share than Harris but not quite half of the total vote count.

You see a lot of petty and childish people pushing these word games on how much Trump did or didn't win by. He won the popular vote and swept the swing states. It wasn't close at all.

It's more like simple math rather than word games.

49.8%<50%, you agree with that much right?

I guess the way I look at it is more like a playoff series.

If a team sweeps their opponent 4-0, but won each game by a run or two, it still is a pretty one sided affair.

No one looks at a team that got swept and can really stand on “but it was so close!”.

They should have showed up to that protest with buses full of ICE agents.

Now that would have been hilarious...

Yeah, someone else said that. My issue with that is the agents have no legal basis to simply show up and question anyone with a Mexican flag or Hispanic background. That is unconstitutional. Not to mention, having ice show up would likely provoke a riot

I'm not denying he won but it's factually incorrect to say Trunp won the majority of the vote when in fact he won a plurality.

It’s also factually correct to say he won the popular vote.

Being .02 under 50% can lead one to stand on the factual ground of him not winning the majority of the vote, and only a plurality as you said, to get hung up on this seems petty.

I also see why people get testy when someone says “it was close”. As illustrated by my sports analogy.

Uh sure, didn't deny that but it's incorrect to say he won a majority when in fact he won a plurality right?

How is it petty? Someone said the country "overwhelmingly" voted for Trump but I don't think that's a fair assessment when he didn't even win half the popular vote.

Finally putting that masters degree to work. This is my second semester teaching at a university

I’ll have to mail you a cardigan with leather elbow patches and a tobacco pipe so you can really look the part

That’s fair.

Kind of splitting hairs, but fair.

 

[Islam Imamate]

It'd be splitting hairs if the claim I was addressing was "Trump won" but that's not the claim that I responded to. The claim was that the public "overwhelmingly" voted for Trump which is not true based on the popular vote split.

 

[ColemanwastheGOAT]

Anything on white Americans and crimes against children in an area????

Huh?

 

[KnightTemplar]

He did win both but he didn't win a majority of the popular vote, he won something like 49.8%.

Still more than Kamala got.

 

[method115]

Yeah, it’s been a shitshow, but it’s what people overwhelmingly voted for.

Yep I'm just sitting back and watching it all unfold.
