@Eheran @RaoulDook no. Didn't get 50% of the vote. Only 1.7% margin vs Harris. 11th smallest margin ever (including 5 negative, eg 2016).
When he claims a landslide it's because he wants to claim he has a mandate.
TBH the numbers are really weird. Getting that small a margin but winning every swing state is not likely. And every county that flipped, flipped one way to him, which hasn't happened since Hoover. Again, on that margin that's quite the feat.

@Nightwingdragon @vegeta I think he's just trying to stay solvent because knows Tesla is going to *tank* and he needs to pay off the Twitter investors (using xAI investors' cash) before he gets margin called
@Xanthobilly @ReallyActuallyFrankenstein partly this. Possibly also dementia + power-crazed wannabe dictator I suspect
@Eruanna amazing! And you thought you'd be the only one - I think this is the importance of these - people are realising they're not alone, just because Fox keeps telling them they are
@Eruanna @Elkot I've been following the #TeslaTakedown stuff with interest - some of the protests seem to be enormous. Hopefully it is inviting people to dip their toe in the water, meet some fellow pissed off people, start organising, be visibly against what's happening... It all matters.
@henfredemars @ObviouslyNotBanana at that point the military would surely drag him out because it would officially be a coup, so they'd be bound to do it. And no, putting Pete Hegseth in charge doesn't mean he's suddenly captured the whole military. He hasn't even managed to kick out any LGBTQ+ people yet.
@pseudo I've been looking into this as well and came across MySoda (Finnish) but not got any further than browsing yet https://mysoda.eu/
@AA5B that's why he's pulled Stefanik back in - he needs *every* seat
