Trump Wants to Sue All Americans Who Voted Against Him

The Onion is still the best satirical publication that I know of, and pretty much by far, at that. Still, there is another site, Baylonbee.com, has had some pretty funny spoof articles from time to time, as well.              

Here is one that had a pretty funny title. It was funny, because it felt like it had a grain of truth to it. The title is as follows:              

Yup, that pretty much feels like it sums up what’s going on, and the demented mindset by a man-child currently still serving as president, as well as prominent members of his cabinet. Also, this same frankly pathetic mindset is shared as well by his legion of loyal supporters, who never seem to question a thing that he says or does.              

Indeed, it often feels like what Trump is saying is that any “real American” would obviously be an admirer of his, and would support everything that he does. Certainly, Trump fans seem to believe this. Perhaps that is why they have such a difficult time accepting that their man could actually lose an election.              

The thing is, it really should not be difficult to believe, at all. In polls, Trump never so much as reached 50 percent approval ratings, and his disapproval ratings remained consistently higher than his approval ratings. This was true generally, but it spiked up when it came to certain things, such as his handling (or rather, mishandling) of the coronavirus pandemic. It is now known that he covered up the level of seriousness of the threat it posed to the country, and he was inconsistent in how he dealt with it, at times acting like it was indeed very serious, and at other times, he downplayed the seriousness of the threat and scoffed at the medical advice by experts to try and contain the threat.              

Indeed, on many levels, most Americans disapproved of the job that Trump was doing. He received serious backlash for certain actions, like when he had difficulty clearly condemning outright Nazis and white supremacists. Most Americans, even many fellow Republicans, were not huge fans of his ridiculous, trademark tweets. In fact, most Americans wished that he would tone down much of his divisive rhetoric, and a large percentage of Americans felt that his personal behavior was a bit too much.              

Also, let us remember that he lost the popular vote in both the 2016 and 2020 election. He lost the popular vote in the 2016 election by 2.7 million, although he was officially declared the winner because of the Electoral College system. In 2020, he lost the popular vote by over 7 million, as well over 81 million Americans came out more to vote Trump out than anything else. There were people literally dancing in the streets in scenes similar to fans in a city that just won a major championship will often do, and these kinds of celebrations were seen in cities literally across the nation from coast to coast.              

So, it is not so hard to believe. Unless, that is, you are a brainwashed member of Cult 45, who believes that they are, in fact, secretly a majority, and perhaps even believe themselves to be a massive majority, at that. In one debate against a Trump supporter, the Trump fan predicted that Trump would easily win the 2020 election, and that 100 million Americans would come out to vote for him in this election.              

Sure enough, the only people who have a difficult time believing that Trump lost would be Trump himself, and of course, his loyal supporters.  For the rest of us?  No, not so hard to believe.  This spoof article, though, points out the absurdity of Trump making outlandish claims of massive voter fraud and millions of “illegal votes” effectively robbing him of what he at least publicly pretends was his election win.  




Below is the link to this article. I should warn you that the title seemed funny, and for me, the assumption was that the article would be quite humorous. But the article itself was frankly not all that funny. Still, worth sharing, so here it is:

  1. I did a little research on The Babylon Bee. Per Wikipedia: "The Babylon Bee is a conservative Christian news satire website that publishes satirical articles on religion, politics, current events, and well-known public figures. It has been referred to in the media as a Christian, evangelical, or conservative version of The Onion."

    1. Yeah, about that. I've been meaning to tell you that I have made some life changes and am now a science denying Evangelical, and strongly support Trump.
