Axios: "What to know about 'No Kings' counterprotests to Trump's June 14 military parade": Apparently, people protest in cities where people live
  • 65 points AureliasTenant

    Reddit post title is confusing. “Counterprotest” is not used in the articles title or the body of the article, and has a specific meaning…

    I pasted the URL and used the "suggest title", then added the comment about how people live in cities--"counterprotests" is in the <title> tag in the HTML (I just double-checked), so I suspect that was the original headline, and it's since been changed.

    There was nothing intentional on my part to connote anything about the protests by calling them counterprotests.

    Whataboutism over "people live in cities" is stupid crock of crap. If the people protesting are all in cities, the obvious conclusion to draw is that it affects people in cities more directly, or that the people who live in cities tend to have different values, etc etc. The USA is a unique country because cities are far less powerful than they are in many other places, and that is a unequivocal GOOD.

    I frankly don't care when people in cities do things, because people from cities are rat people. I'll see if real humans care

    But like, shouldn't the majority rule?

    In Trump's first election he lost popular vote.

    That wasn't my point. In terms of modern elections, yeah, it was a solid victory for Trump. The only election since 2000 with a larger margin of EV victory was 2008, which had a lot of other things going on (recession, unpopularity of Iraq, etc.)

    PV wise, it was anything but a blowout.

    There isn't even a "far" left in the US. Your politics shifted so far to the right that things most of the world consider a centrist topic that both the left and right can agree on, is considered "communism" in the US.

    Not allowing a shitty-diapered orange-glazed wannabe dictator dementia patient absolute control over the country, overriding all checks and balances, should be a bipartisan issue in the US. Yet, here we are...

    Yall win one popular vote in the past 20 years and suddenly it’s all over. 1.4% margin btw. But yeah a “blowout.” Biden 4.4% over in 2020, Biden over 2016 by 2.2%, Obama by 7.2% and 3.9%.

    2024 actually had the 6th lowest margin of popular vote in history. How exactly is that a blowout? Because he promised people in PA, WV and Ohio, the Carolina’s and Florida to bring back jobs and what did they get? Nothing of the sort and zero disaster relief.

    So he lied about what he was going to do and even that was hardly enough to win an election. Cute

    Thanks for not addressing how easily disprovable your claim was btw and moving the goal posts. Cute ragebait and diaper. Taking after your idol?
