Less Than 51% Of The Popular Vote

According to recent news sources, Trump either received less than 50% of the popular vote in last month’s election, or he barely received 50% by the slimmest of margins.  Either way, he received less than 51% of the popular vote.   And he lost the popular vote in the previous two elections.

Taking into account the severity of the social contagions on the left during the past decade…and that the films “What Is A Woman?” and “Am I Racist?” are not works of fiction…it says something about the leading national political candidate opposing the left to have such a struggle in securing important victories during such insane times.

FDR won his first two elections by 57% and 60%.  Eisenhower won by 55% and 57%.  Reagan won by 58% in his second election.  Considering the insanity of the left in recent years, the political leader on the right should have won by much more than by only receiving 50% of the popular vote.

And don’t forget that after four years of Trump’s presidency, 81 million people voted against Trump in 2020.  The asinine social contagions on the left weren’t exactly dormant in 2020.  There was no excuse to have so many people vote against the leading conservative political candidate in 2020.

81 million votes after four years of a Trump presidency.  That calls for a closer examination to be put into its proper perspective compared to how FDR, Eisenhower, and Reagan did after their first four years.

Any conservative who sees last month’s election results as a national mandate for Trump to do anything he wants should stop and reconsider by reflecting on the size of previous victories of former presidents like FDR, Eisenhower, and Reagan.  Trump’s win was less about Trump than it was about being against the left and what they’ve come to stand for.

Oh, wait a minute.  Wait a minute.  Wait just one minute.  Trump was named Time’s 2024 Person Of The Year.   I guess that changes everything.  I guess I was wrong about Trump. 

Just kidding.  Just a little timely humor there.  Get it?  A little timely humor?  Get it?  Timely humor?

Anyway, what was I going to say?  Oh yeah…the last three Presidential elections have seen a change of political parties in the White House. 

Four of the last five elections have given us a change in leadership from the previous political party.  That’s only happened twice before in American history.  Once when President Cleveland twice interrupted Republican dominating rule for half a century after the Civil War.  The other time this happened when four out of five elections gave us that kind of change in leadership occurred in the two decades leading up to the Civil War.  (And I think it’s safe to say that no one political party has dominated the Presidential elections for the past fifty years.)  In other words, the last several elections seem to have more in common with the decades leading up to the Civil War rather than during the times of President Cleveland.
