68.1% of US citizens are bloody idiots.
Guess why some of these people didn't even bother to vote.
Not a mandate, but voter's apathetic acceptance.
Well the US clearly doesn’t mind that much cause they’re accepting his neverending stream of shit.

That's the issue with the FPTP voting system, it always eventually leads to a 2-party state like the US and the majority of the population votes for someone other than the winning party.
This happens in literally every country with the same voting system as the US.
Clearly the rightful president is Did Not Vote.
Let's get a count of all of the votes that were tossed due to targeted voter registration purges.

I'll take whoever this "Did not vote" instead please
Stop this bs. Rules are set before the game begins.
Hi, OP. I just want to let you know that I appreciate the sentiment you're trying to express in this meme, but I also kinda low-key hate you for:
- using a title that sullies the good name of Maxwell Smart by making me associate his catch-phrase with Trump, and
- using an ellipsis to weakly trail off when you should've used an exclamation point to finish strong instead.

Well, in 1933 when the NSPD came to power they had 43% of the seats in parliament (I haven't found the percentage of the total votes but I imagine it was much less). That did not prevent them from repeating the elections at the end of that year and getting more than 90%, you can imagine how.
Even a part of popular culture accepts that they came to power by winning elections and the German people feel and felt the shame that they came to power by democratic means, which is only half true.
I feel sorry for the American people, but they elected this team under the same rules of democracy as their previous presidents. To claim now that his election was not democratic is to distort the facts.

Well the OG Nazis only got about 30% so I'd say he's justified to a dictatorship
Percentages may be more digestable, but it really makes me curious about the total vote counts of each category now:P
Of the approximately 240,000,000 Americans who were eligible to vote:
156,302,318 voted in 2024
Trump won 77,284,118 votes
Harris won 74,999,166
4,019,034 voted other
This is true of every election except maybe one.
Nobody always wins. The "winner" is always elected by a tiny minority. It's a fundamentally corrupt system. Always has been. Literally concocted by genocidal slavers.
