Big Turk Posted April 16 Posted April 16 Don't quite understand the nonsense about this being a "landslide" when in fact, it was one of the closer races in the last 30 years. Trying to convince yourself of something even tho facts don't support it makes it seem more like a cult than anything else where anyone who doesn't show overwhelming support is some "insert random idiotic name du jour". A landslide is what happened when Reagan defeated Mondale where he won the popular vote by over 18% and the Electoral Collage by over 500 votes. Winning by 1.5% of the popular vote - note even a majority mind you, and 86 electoral votes is hardly anything "landslide" worthy except in delusional people's heads that refuse to live in reality. 1 1

B-Man Posted April 16 Posted April 16 7 "tossup" states and 7 victories. That is a Landslide nowadays. You will note that you had to go back to 1984 for your Reagan example. At present all of our presidential elections are close, even the Clinton and Obama "landslides as they were eagerly called. Nothing odd, nothing cultish about it. Standard fare actually. .

Nothing odd, nothing cultish about it. Standard fare actually. . Expand Actually I could just go back to 2020 when Joe Biden won by a "Triple landslide" based on your logic since it was 4.5% of the popular vote. Or to 2012 when Obama won by 3.9% or to 2008 when he won by 7.5%. Any of them are far more of a "landslide" than this was and all of them happening within the last 17 years. Go re-learn history. And no, I am not claiming that any of those were landslides...just by your definition, which is baseless and is not supported by any definition of the word, they were much more of one than this was.

Go cry harder. Expand The literal definition of a landslide from the Oxford Dictionary: an overwhelming majority of votes for one party in an election. "winning the election by a landslide" Claiming something is true when it clearly isn't at best is disingenuous, at worst is delusional. Change your name to Alice and move to Wonderland.

I thought it sounded a little extreme at first, but when I worked through it, yeah, the light bulb went on. Expand Oh, I understand it perfectly fine. It's the same understanding of it that any dictionary provides, which is: an overwhelming majority of votes for one party in an election. "winning the election by a landslide" What would you call someone who was told by their leader to try and tell you it's bright and sunny outside when it's pouring rain? Probably a cult because clearly it's apparent to anyone paying attention to reality what the truth is/was. So to be in denial of reality while supporting someone else's "alternative facts" clearly screams cult. Edited April 16 by Big Turk
nedboy7 Posted April 16 Posted April 16 (edited) Is it not possible to call out the absurd woke left and still see the problems with this dumb president and his idiotic policies? Does it have to be let’s worship this guy cause of trans bathrooms? WTF kind of brains do Americans have? What a ***** up stupid country. It’s astonishing that you all support authoritarian rule just to escape wokeness. You’re dumber than the woke. Edited April 16 by nedboy7 2 1 1 1

I don't know anything about your relationship with your leader, but it sounds unhealthy to me to trust anyone to that degree. I think that terms like "landslide" are used conversationally and most normal people don't hear "landslide" when used politically, immediately run to a dictionary, compare usage to meaning, and walk away thinking "cult". They might agree, or disagree, or not care a whit, but beyond that, who cares? 1
