    A plurality of voters (not majority) voted for this corrupt retribution driven government. That’s the fucked up part.

      I thought it was the majority this time around, was it not? Unless I’m misunderstanding your meaning.

        No candidate received the majority. Trump received 49.9% of the vote, which was the most of any of the candidates.

        Therefore he won the plurality of votes. Buy he still did not win the majority.

          Thanks for clarifying, you’re right he got just under 50%. For some reason I thought he got a majority this time but I was misinformed.

            I think for the first week or so after the election it was a slim majority, but eventually slipped under as more mail-in ballots arrived.

      Musk had control of voting machines in swing states. I’ll never believe Trump won legitimately. The real tragedy was that it was close enough to rig.
