    They are also overplaying it in America.

    Trump won the popular vote.

    The average American wouldn’t be celebrating.

      Did you miss the part of the article where his approval rating is 36%? The average American disapproves of his performance in office, possibly including some of the people who voted for him.

      (Only 64% of eligible voters voted in 2024, and 49.8% of those voters chose Trump. So the 32% of eligible voters who chose him could technically still approve of his performance. It’s not likely that none of them have changed their minds because the leopards ate their faces, but it’s mathematically possible.)

          Thank you. Every time I say that, there are plenty of cowardly Democrats who actually defend MAGA’s “victory” as “fair & square,” as if after a lifetime of cheating at EVERYTHING, just for fun, the one election he wouldn’t cheat in, is the one election that he absolutely had to win in order to avoid a lifetime prison sentence. MAGAs would love to brag about it, but they have to keep their mouths shut.

          The first thing Dems need to do, if they are ever going to win again, is to resist literally EVERYTHING they say or do. Every statement gets denied, every action gets protested, every piece of legislation gets voted against - by every single elected Democrat, without exception. If a Dem gives MAGA legislation a single vote, then they should be rejected from the party, given NO campaign money, and be officially primaried by the party. They are FIRED!

          That includes my worthless DINO rep.

      You see when other countries “elect” a dictator (usually by stealing), the whole country is evil and they need “democracy”. All their allies with be on board with invading them because well, they’re always the good guys.

      When it’s US and its allies, it’s never their fault and they aren’t responsible for the crimes their government commits.

      They’re just helpless individuals who have no say in how government operates and you’re supposed to have sympathy for them no matter what.
