Summary
Donald Trump and Republicans are falsely framing his 2024 election win as a historic “landslide” and sweeping mandate, despite the data showing otherwise.
Trump won the popular vote by just 1.6%, the smallest margin for a winning president since 1968, and his 307 electoral votes rank low in U.S. history.
Crucial Senate and House gains were limited, with Republicans relying on gerrymandering for their narrow House majority.
This exaggeration of victory serves to justify potential power expansions, but the facts debunk claims of an unprecedented or overwhelming mandate.
If it doesn’t matter enough for anyone to do anything about it, it doesn’t matter at all.

This sounds like accelerationism. It’s all the rage amongst Elon and his ilk. The problem with this is there’s no certainty that we’ll make it through.
