155 million
More than 155 million people cast ballots in the 2024 presidential election.
It's second only in U.S. history to the 2020 election. Turnout in 2024 represented 63.9% of eligible voters, the second-highest percentage in the last 100 years, according to the University of Florida Election Lab. The only year that beat it – again – was 2020 when universal mail-in voting was more widely available.
========================================
Trump voters ARE NOT 50% of the nation's nearly 350 MILLION PEOPLE... they are a lot closer to 23% of the total populaiton... THAT makes his numbers make more sense and why he believes as long as the rest of the nation stays glued to their phones and distratcions he can proceed with impugnity.
5 MILLION people came out Saturday and said they DO NOT support Trump's policies or actions. Let's be generous and say that 50,000 showed up in DC (I know the best case was maybe 1/2 that...but I am lazy and like simple maths!!!)...
5,000,000 AGAINST
50,000 FOR
That is TWO ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more that oppose the tin pot tiny hands imbecile than those slack-jawed yokels and abused people that support him.
SHOW UP AND GODDAMN VOTE ACCORDINGLY - if we are even allowed to have a free and fair election ever again. If the elections are rigged, revolution is required. Its not an option to 'go along and get along' any longer. 23% of Americans commandeered the government in 2024, are destroying it in 2025 and hope to eliminate it completely in 2026.
I would like to see "No Kings" level protests continue to grow as they have from April's "Hands Off" to June's "No Kings".
I want to see MILLIONS in the streets of NYC, Chicago, LA, Houston, Philly and more. I want to see 100,000's in smaller cities and I want to see this keep growing in response.
It is either that NOW, or gunfire and violence in warfare later. But what will NOT happen? The military is NOT automatically at the disposal of Trump and his cronies. Go watch the video of those troops on their forced "march" through DC and compare that level of disinterested walking to any actual military parade and you get the picture as clearly as the rest of the world did yesterday.
Donald Trump is NOT a King, a dictator or a strongman. He is TACO boy. He is weak. He is pathetic. And best of all? He KNOWS it.
(So does the rest of the world now too...)
