Summary
Donald Trump and Republicans are falsely framing his 2024 election win as a historic “landslide” and sweeping mandate, despite the data showing otherwise.
Trump won the popular vote by just 1.6%, the smallest margin for a winning president since 1968, and his 307 electoral votes rank low in U.S. history.
Crucial Senate and House gains were limited, with Republicans relying on gerrymandering for their narrow House majority.
This exaggeration of victory serves to justify potential power expansions, but the facts debunk claims of an unprecedented or overwhelming mandate.

Contrary to your belief, posting on Lemmy isn’t the only thing everyone does…
Like, I’ve been posting a lot to lemmy… This Saturday, I’m going to the range with a close group of family. Before shooting time, we’re doing a STB refresher course. Sunday, over dinner, we’ll be planning out the garden plots on the street.
I’m not interested in making the feds’ job easier by proving myself to you. How about you do something meaningful for your community instead of patting yourself on the back for filling in a useless bubble in support of diet fascism
That’s nice dear. Now run along. The grown ups are talking.
