I have a leftist friend who legitimately thinks Obama got less votes than Joe because people hate Trump that much.

How does your friend explain Trump getting 10 million + more votes this year than 2016?

Fraud? I bet fraud, cause they always project their crimes on us.

I haven’t asked, but I assume he’d say that some people grew to like Trump but the rest hated him so much that they had high turnout.

I got mocked after showing him the impossibly high turnout in the Powell affidavits.

You should show him the 17% of county wins (400 or so less than Obama). So, according to your friend, Trump was just REALLY hated in a few swing cities. Literally, that's what you'd need to believe.

Good point, but feelings over facts for him.

He’s not low IQ, and he is amazing at these sorts of mental gymnastics. I’ve found that intellectual types are great at justifying anything to themselves.

PS: Bruno is hilarious.

It amazes me that leftists will say there was NO fraud, while ignoring the counties and precincts that had well over 100% turn out. Turnout of over 100% is fraud.

We rarely get 65% turnout in a lot of places.

Even in Australia with mandatory voting and fines for not voting, percentage turnout never exceeds the high 80s.

"Math is racist". But seriously leftist are bad at math. Their brain works on "feelings" which means the logical and thusly math-understanding portion is poorly underutilized. You can't explain logic, when they "feel" they know better...

Always accuse your opponent of doing what you intend to do.

I have heard this from my hyper liberal brainwashed colleagues. And the comedy part is they can't even tell you why. Colleges are really fucking kids over.

I really, really, really don’t understand this. I graduated with a Poli Sci degree from a SUNY institution. All I did was get more based. Maybe it was just me, but reading tons of Russian and former USSR states literature was like, “oh, Communism is as bad as everyone says it is.”

This was less than 5 years ago. Maybe it was just the professors I had, largely Asian gentleman.

"Reading tons of material." Well there's your issue. Actually reading multiple sources. Students now read the Wikipedia page.

That's the only way they can convince themselves there was no fraud and his 80 million votes were legit. I heard Geraldo Rivera say people voted Republican for local elections because of stuff like they don't want police to be defunded but they didn't vote for Trump cause he was just that bad. The mental gymnastics these people go through are amazing.

Did you point out that Obama got less votes than Trump?
