How 'a senile old pedophile' could inspire 76 million to vote for him
2020-11-12
[WND] In the wake of Joe Biden's alleged victory in the 2020 election, the pundit class has already produced scores of articles headlined something along the lines of "How Joe Biden Won the Election."

What the authors of these articles have in common is that none of them has a clue or, if they do, they know better than to say what they know out loud. Regardless of the final outcome, Biden will have gotten 10 million more popular votes than Hillary did in 2016 or Obama did in 2012.

Biden needed every one of those votes, real or manufactured, because President Trump got nearly 9 million more votes than he did in 2016, and Trump's increase was grown organically.

In 2016, many people voted for Trump to keep Hillary out of the White House. After four years of observing his performance, they voted for Trump because he was Trump. Yet in a match-up between the Republicans' best candidate since Reagan and the Democrats' worst candidate since forever, Biden got more popular votes and the illusion, at least, of more electoral votes.

Yes, the COVID-driven mechanics swelled the Democrats' wholesale vote gathering, but what drove the Biden vote were two phenomena — hatred and ignorance. Nothing else explains how a senile old pedophile who could not attract a thousand people to a rally could inspire 76 million people to vote for him.

#13  Nothing else explains

How about historic, rampant cheating?

#10  #9 76mil, you sure that is the number?

Maybe more after the illegal votes for Biden are culled out.

5% error puts that closer to 72mil.

Kansas had a vacant Senate seat, Roberts. Last governor cycle a nobody out of state democrat was elected on the platform she is gay.

The democrat, Bollier, had huge machine support and was expected to win, maybe even 55-45%. The republican, Marshall, was disorganized and slow, and coming off upsetting a lot of rural people by knocking out rep. Huelskamp.

What happened is Marshall won I think 60-40% because Kansas Republicans showed up to vote and voted straight ticket.

I'm not saying Kansas is anywhere else, but why would a passionate voter, for either candidate, take the time and effort to vote, but not take the extra 30 seconds to vote party line?

#8  #4 Agree with what g(r)omgoru said "Trump threatens not just the self-esteem, but the very livelihood [and power], of the Mandarinate."

"Drain the Swamp" strikes terror in them.

#7  Do the masses secretly yearn to have their daughters' hair sniffed?

LOL.

#6  Lonzo, more magic: Biden didn't even deign to campaign. He's more charismatic than Jesus

#5  Magically, this puppet who is supposedly so popular vastly outperformed his fellow Democrats' down-ballot candidates everywhere.

What can explain this extraordinary appeal?
His basement charisma?
Do the masses secretly yearn to have their daughters' hair sniffed?

Or are these the results of his son's millions of wild oats, sown in his reckless youth and now of age and voting en masse for dear ol' grampaw?

#4  Nonsense, Trump threatens not just the self-esteem, but the very livelihood, of the Mandarinate.

#3  Hate and ignorance with a dash of cheat.

#2  Once you hate enough, you become willfully ignorant on that topic. Hate and ignorance, like bacon and eggs.

"Hatred and Ignorance," both in abundant supply among democrats as well as many alleged republicans.
