don't be obtuse, Pork

Not knowing the definition of the word or using in multiple situations incorrectly would be an example of obtuse.

But yet, yourself and others talk that there is a decisive majority of voter support of Trump. 

 
won't speak for others, Pork 
However it certainly was a decisive victory.
 

I mean… it’s not debatable whether Trump won. It’s not like 2016 where he lost the popular vote. But “decisive” is a stretch. And not just for him, but for the Republican Party as a whole.

Trump did not crack 50%. He won a plurality, not a majority. The difference between his vote share and Harris is gonna be around 1.5%. Hillary Clinton actually had a greater margin over Trump in the popular vote in 2016 which was 2.1%.

Republicans actually lost house seats. They will have a 220-215 majority, two seats fewer than the 2022 midterms. This is the slimmest Republican house majority since (I think) the 65th congress of 1917-19.

And republicans did pick up 4 senate seats but that was mainly due to an EXTREMELY favorable senate map - 3 of those senate seats were in solid red states. PA was the only truly competitive senate race that a Republican won (and just barely).

Democrats defended senate seats in several swing states that trump won- AZ, WI and NV.

Republicans also lost gubernatorial elections in both North Carolina and Arizona.

This wasn’t a particularly high turnout election either. Turnout was lower than 2020.

So what is so “decisive” about any of that? Electoral college math? We know that’s somewhat arbitrary. Anything else?

This was actually an extremely close election, just like every other election has been for the last, I dunno, 16 years?

 Yeah, Biden is happy Mexico has cracked down on the migrants this year.

Wow! That's great. 'Course, you make no mention of September, October, and November, when they started pouring across when it started to look like Trump could win the Presidency. Even now, there are caravans trying to get in before Trump takes command in January.

If we use your numbers, we only have to worry about the nearly 40,000 who got in in that 3 month period.

I look for a lot of political/monetary murders in Mexico in the future. The Cartels aren't gonna give up their cash cows, so politicians, police, and maybe even the military if used to stop illegal immigration may find themselves on the wrong side of a gun when they cross the Cartels. It's been happening for years throughout Central America.

What kind of grown @ss man uses the word “bum”?

It's very clear, that some people really needed the Trump win personally. 

Enjoy the winning gents.
