A 1.5% popular vote win--or as it'd be called anywhere else, a win--will put his margin at #50 among all 55 presidential elections in which the popular vote winner became president.

And his electoral college margin is #43 among all 60 presidential elections.

Not a landslide.

[Ian McKellen @IanMcKellen]

The great American writer and editor, H.L. Mencken, wrote this for the Baltimore Evening Sun, 26 July 1920:
"The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying even the mob with him by force of his personality. But when the field is nationwide, and the fight must be waged chiefly at second and third hand, and the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum.

"The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

The first thing MAGA will do is dismantle the apparatus necessary for anybody to mount a serious challenge against them again.
There will be an “election” in ‘28, but it will be perfunctory. We are a one-party state now.

May we one day return to a presidential election in which millions of Americans may be disappointed by the outcome, but they’re not terrified that democracy will die and hard-fought freedoms will be torn away.

I can’t get over the fact that over half of America just decided to burn the whole thing to the ground as the alternative to giving a Black woman power.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

I’ve always read conservative media, tried to understand those whose views differ from mine, but I can’t do it this election. No matter the rationale, I’m unable to understand how you can vote for the guy who made January 6th possible.

Donald Trump will remove the United States from NATO, and Putin will continue to conquer Europe. Nice work you goddamn chucklefucks

[Machine Pun Kelly 🇺🇦 @KellyScaletta]

He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.

He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.

But at least he's not a Black woman.

[George Wallace @MrGeorgeWallace]

Get in line. Get a sticker. Get a coherent President and whatnot.

While they are shamefully dropping deep fakes of Dr. King, here is my REAL ass trying to get a better view at his going home ceremony. You may try to take away our history classes and change the textbooks. But our history is beyond your reach. We lived it and we will tell it.

My mom is not a yard sign person. And a center right voter before 2016. She put out a sign this year and it was stolen. She replaced it:

Last day of early voting in Ohio and the line at the Franklin County Board of Elections is insane - it’s backed around itself multiple times. I have been covering early voting since Ohio started it in 2005 and I’ve never seen anything close to this
