‘Trump Nation’ Numbers At Least 150 Million Americans

The powers that be are alienating millions and millions of people. Every time they tell another lie, or silence another voice, the number grows.

TPTB(那些暗中掌權者)正在異化數以百萬計的人,每一次當他們講另一個謊言，或使另一把聲音噤聲時，數字就會增加。

"Getting rid of Trump is the easy part, cleansing the movement he commands is going to be something else."

— ABC News Political

Director Rick Klein, in a tweet he later deleted.

“除去特朗普是一件事的最容易部份，清理他所指揮的運動會是另一回事。”

— ABC新聞政治導演Rick Klein在一條他後來刪除的推文中説。

This sums up the sentiments that inform America’s establishment media, its corporate elite, Big Tech, academia, most of the public sector, the entire Democratic Party, and most of the Republican Party leadership. What do we do with 74,222,593 people? How will we reeducate these troglodytic haters? How will we control these dangerous insurrectionists?

這總結了一些通知美國建制媒體的情緒，它的企業精英、科技巨頭、學術界、大多數公共部門、整個民主黨,以及大多數共和黨領導層。我們要為74,222,593人怎樣做呢？我們將如何重新教育這些穴居的仇恨者呢？我們將來會如何控制這些危險的起義主義者呢？

Despite virtually every powerful special interest lined up against them, this “cleansing” will indeed be tough. Because, first of all, we are not talking about 74 million Trump supporters. We’re talking about over 150 million Trump supporters. To say that only 74 million Americans support Trump rests on an impossible assumption: that every American who didn’t vote for Trump, or for Biden, automatically is supposed to have supported Biden.

儘管實際上所有強大的特殊利益排著隊與他們抗衡，但這種“清理”事實上是很艱難。因為首先，我們不是在談論7千4百萬特朗普支持者,我們是在談論超過1.5億的特朗普支持者。說只得7千4百萬美國人支持特朗普是建基於一個沒可能的假設：每一個沒有投票支持特朗普,或拜登,的美國人都被自動支持了拜登。

Unfortunately for the tastemakers and kingmakers of America, that’s not how reality works. A careful examination of the official election results by state yields several fascinating facts. For example, assuming the 1.8 percent going to third party candidates splits equally between Trump and Biden (with such a small fraction, it doesn’t matter much anyway), then Trump voters spoke for 47.7 percent of the population, and Biden voters spoke for 52.3 percent of the American population. That would be, for Trump, over 157 million people.

Why wouldn’t this be true? On what basis would anyone assume that Trump would not command the support of as many non-voting households as Biden? Moreover, in the 25 states where Trump won, a larger percentage of the population is under age 18, 24 percent, than in the 25 states where Biden won, 22 percent. That’s a slim difference, but it puts to rest the notion that the states where Trump won are filled with aging hillbillies.

In fact, one of Trump’s most decisive victories came in Utah, where he earned 61 percent of the vote despite the unhelpful influence of Mitt Romney. Utah is America’s youngest state, with 30 percent of its population under age 18.

More Eligible Voters

Another indication that the Trump Nation is closer to half of all America instead of just the 74 million number that keeps getting tossed around has to do with eligible voters’ turnout. This statistic is more meaningful than the conventional “turnout” percentage, which only measures the turnout of registered voters. It indicates success in getting out the vote, but it also considers efforts to register eligible voters. And the numbers are revealing.

In the states where Trump won, 59.4 percent of eligible voters cast ballots. In states where Biden won, the figure was 62 percent. And in the six contested swing states—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—a whopping 65 percent of eligible voters cast ballots.

This disparity of 5.6 percent when applied to the 38.7 million eligible voters living in those six swing states equates to 2.2 million more people voting. The cumulative margin of victory for Biden in those six states was a mere 312,288 votes.

The point here is not to contest the result of the election. That’s been done, that’s being done, and that debate will live on across the pages of history. But this data plainly shows the impact of Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to spend $400 million to register voters and get out the vote in these swing states. It shows the impact of last-minute laws and rule changes designed to facilitate ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, same-day registration, combined with that avalanche of pro-Biden money. And Zuckerberg was just the biggest wave, part of a tsunami of pro-Democrat billions that bought the presidency.

But while money may facilitate collecting extra votes from America’s most politically disengaged in Democratic strongholds, it is reasonable to assume that money could also facilitate collecting more votes from the apolitical masses across the red expanses of America. But even if disengaged right-leaning voters didn’t go to the polls, and they didn’t, because there was no Mark Zuckerberg to pay someone to drag them to the polls (or harvest their ballot), their sentiments likely reflect the sentiments of their neighbors. And these sentiments are not racist, or sexist, or hateful. They’re commonsense, pro-American sentiments that Trump, for the first time in over a generation, spoke to without apology.
