This is idiotic. You know damn well Joe Biden is going to get more votes than Donald Trump.
There are a lot of people who like Trump and other bad things. There are more people who dislike them. It is an idiotic lie to say that equals “a Trump country.” https://twitter.com/gabrielsherman/status/1323821714065793024

This is extremely dumb. Donald Trump has twice run for president and twice gotten fewer votes than his opponent; his approval has never been above 50 for a day of his presidency. His supporters are a minority of Americans. There are too many of them, but it is not their country.
Democrats have won more votes in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections, so I would suggest that perhaps the people who need to get out of their bubble and spend more time with real voters are the right-wing pundits who think America is a center-right country.
Democrats have won the most votes in 7 of the last 8 elections, dating back 28 years, largely powered by huge support among people of color.
When journalists and pundits say this is “Trump’s country” or “a center-right nation,” they say people of color don’t count. It’s racist.

I’m rather well aware of how fucked up things are; how broad and deep the rot is on the right in this country; I’ve been saying it for actual decades. You want to talk about it, I welcome that.
But I’m not gonna stand for erasing the *actual majority of Americans* in doing so.

I am *very* angry about this.
And btw, this BS isn’t new.
When Barack Obama won a 7-point, 365 EV landslide in 2008, a bunch of white journalists immediately rushed to insist: center-right country!
They just don’t think black and brown people count. https://www.mediamatters.org/health-care/all-over-lying

Yes he did! And that casual racism is so typical of the news media he remained a welcome guest on Sunday television news panels.
This white-conservatives-matter-more mentality leads to media coverage that favors them; it’s a thumb on the scale. https://twitter.com/Rob_Sawicki/status/1324191611300040705

If you're part of the diverse coalition of decent people that has accounted for the most votes in SEVEN OF THE LAST EIGHT presidential elections, a feat *unprecedented in American history,* this is YOUR country. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
