Trump has
never won an election.
This is not a
lie nor misinformation. He lost both presidential elections by a lot of votes.
By over three million to Clinton, by over seven million to Biden. He did win the electoral college vote.
However, the electoral college is not an election.
The electoral
college was a compromise by the Founding Fathers to placate the slave holders
so that they’d agree to the Constitution. It would give states electors based
on population and states could count slaves as 3/5 of a person. Okay, it was
also for taxation and legislative representation policies, but you get the
drift.
He lost those
elections because he is not popular. He has never been popular and so The
Thurber Brigade thought now would be a good time to remind people about how
unpopular he is. This was inspired because there recently was an article
stating that Biden is unpopular, but that article seemed to avoid mentioning
how much Trump is despised.
I don’t know
of any presidents who have had protests against them in other countries except
Trump.
He was hated
in France.
Germany
despised him.
In England,
they really despised him, with some of the largest protests the country has seen in decades.
They so disliked him they created floats and a gigantic Trump balloon to
deride him.
Even little
Belgium was not a fan.
However,
those were nothing compared to the protests here in the U.S.
Millions came
out to participate in the Women’s March across the country. “Welcome to your first day, we will not
go away!” they chanted in Washington.
There
were marches against his refusal to release his taxes.
Of
course, there were marches against him for all sorts of other reasons.
There
was a George Floyd protest outside the White House that so scared Trump, that
he ran and hid in the bunker. The only president to ever seek refuge there.
So don't fret when you see the polls that show The Orange One in the lead or tied with Biden. As we near the election, people will begin to remember how bad he was, how incoherent he was and especially, how unpopular he IS. It's our job to make sure they do remember.
