He probably heard the stat that more people voted for him in California than in Texas and thinks that since he won Texas that means he won California.

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

That explains how he bankrupt so many casinos. He literally cant count

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago

I got more than 10 votes, I won! There's no number higher!

[-] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

That's actually more terrifying idea than if he is just narcissistic liar.

[-] Fish@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago

That makes sense. Kind of how he confuses asylum for refugees with mental asylums when talking about immigration.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 62 points 2 years ago

Christians, for whatever reason, don’t vote very much—you know, proportionately,” Trump claimed, without providing evidence.

Literally the opposite of reality. If it wasn't for evangelical Christians voting more than any other group "you know, proportionately", he'd never had stood a chance anywhere.

Maybe it’s a rebellious streak.

Yeah, the people defined by their adherence to a religion where the highest virtue is blind obedience to an invisible authority figure and all of its self-described representatives are SO damn rebellious!

That's asinine even by TRUMP standards, which I didn't think was even possible anymore 🤦

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

We all know how persecuted they are as well! Poor things, can't freely strip everyone else's rights without push back.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It’s meant to challenge them to prove it wrong

Like a coach benching their star player

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 48 points 2 years ago

Hahaha he thinks he won my state? Oh, honey... No. We all fucking hate you here.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago

Checking in from the bay area, the southern border, and deep inland SoCal... We all pretty much hate Trump. I thought deep inland I'd find people who like him... No. No, there aren't any of those here.

If there are any, they are embarrassed by the weird. I get it. I'm embarrassed for those people, too.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Yucaipa (San Bernardino foothills) checking in, some of the old bastards (this can mean men and women) like him but theyre fucking stupid so...yeah. There even used to be a Trump car but it burned last year, critical overheat of the engine. Someone broke the bottom of the radiator while it was raining and then it fucken overheated fast.

So yeah the rural parts of the IE have some trumpers but they aint well liked by us younger folks.

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago

Plenty of them in orange county too. Of course it's the rich areas, actual people who benefit from exploiting employees and tax cuts. The ones I work with are barely competent enough to keep their job and they're lucky the owner is old and tech illiterate, if he chose to update our work flow like other companies in the same industry he would be making more money but also probably have to fire some people here who can't even use outlook or their browser properly.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately all those who love him moved to Texas. And few are coming to Oklahoma too. Which makes these places redder then they used to be.

But of course they and bitch about the heat and all the benefits they don't have now thanks to moving out of California.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I live in New York. Donald Trump was born and raised in New York, and spent decades pushing himself onto the local media. He lost his home town by 90%. Twice. The second time, people braved Covid to dance in the streets.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Does it hurt to be in 3 places at once? Or is it just your normal because you were born with this power? Genuinely curious

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure still Huntington Beach loves him. It's such a weird little place now, and sadly became pretty MAGA.

I used to love hanging out around there.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

In Northern California. I love national forests. The overlap of red voting and national forests in California distresses me.

[-] Seasm0ke@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

We were considering tehachapi until visiting and seeing trump flags everywhere. Plenty of places in OC too. Buy definitely a vast minority in the state

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Impossible. He said Kamala destroyed California. Therefore it doesn’t exist

[-] demizerone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Gavin did that, and that's why you didn't see his ass at the convention.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 47 points 2 years ago

“Sure you did grandpa… let’s get you home”

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

The guy's out of his fucking mind. The fact that he still has even a remote chance of winning is absurd.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 20 points 2 years ago

I've posted this so many times.

Back in 2016 there was a panel of the creators behind all the top political TV dramas. Veep, West Wing, House of Cards, Scandal et al. Every writer and producer said the same thing. If they had a fictional character say that they 'liked soldiers who didn't get captured' the advertisers and networks would have demanded that the character be depicted as being hated by all Americans.

[-] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Fuck Oprah forever for making Dr Phil popular

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

And the other doctor dude and the John of God abuser. Probably others that I don't know about.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

This guy has been incoherent for a long time and the Dementia is absolutely not helping. His mental acuity is down to an "old man yells at clouds" level.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

And yet, a lot of the rubes think he'd be the best leader of this country. It's so bizarre.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

their media (fox mostly) has been saying joe biden is a braindead machiavellian corrupt elderly mafia guy who hates christians for years who plans to import catholic immigrants using an open border and free citizenship to undermine the republican party.

I guess its bizarre that so many people believe enough of it that they're willing to back a braindead corrupt elderly mafia guy who hates poor people and women.

[-] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

And convinced that if he loses it can only be because the Democrats cheated and/or the undocumented immigrants voted and/or some other nefariousness.

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

We sent you packing.

[-] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I'm for straitjacket, not White House for him.

[-] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I vote for Trump's next four years: dunking chair.

Anyone can throw cantaloupes/tomatoes at a target. Square hit, he's dunked in fake blood water. Miss, you might hit him in the face. Or in the nuts.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

I'm looking forward to his funeral.

[-] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

Both of those twats are still alive?

Extended life span takes its toll on the world.

[-] ohmyiv@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Last time a republican presidential candidate won California was Bush Sr. in 1988.

[-] takeda@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Now we need an AI generated picture of Jesus committing election fraud.

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Well he's not a US citizen or registered to vote in any US county so Jesus voting in any US election would be election fraud.

[-] CatsGoMOW@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Is a form of election fraud. By far the rarest form of many, but one of them nonetheless.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Meanwhile, Jesus: keep my name out your mouth.

[-] InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago

Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies that can't complete a coherent sentence is getting worse by the day. He really should drop out and seek treatment, it's embarrassing.
