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.
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.
