Not by any measure, the claim of an “unprecedented” mandate simply isn’t true. Trump won a very close election and will govern a country where a near majority of people have voted against him three times. Yes, his party won control of Congress as well. But in the House, the margin of Republican control (with three contests still undecided) is so small that Trump’s appointment of three representatives to Cabinet positions could make any controversial votes extremely difficult for House Speaker Mike Johnson until special elections are held, and very difficult even then.

Every vote must matter and be counted, and by doing so, ONCE AGAIN, regarding this Trump creature, the majority of the people DID NOT want him to be President. Maybe the Electoral votes were more significant, but one must put on their own Democrat version of a MAGA TIN FOIL HAT and question how, this time around, all of the votes Trump swore he received in 2020, he got in 2024.
There is no mandate, no sudden groundswell of admiration and trust in Trump, just a bunch of INSECURE folks who were turned into fools by the GOP, who thought that if they voted for Trump, they might not find themselves as THE OTHER.
Fight on Dems, fight harder Dems, stop letting Trump and his Fascists define the truth; the real truth is out there, and it is up to the rest of us to find it and embrace it.
