You need to provide an archived link of trump saying this. Anyone can help, you all have an hour. Sorry, but I have to take it down if no one provides the link. Rule 6

    I think it needs to be an archived link of the tweet... I suspect the problem is tweets getting deleted, not so much the veracity of the quote (which is well documented)

    At least... I hope. Because otherwise that would be dumb.

    I guess I'm dumb, lol. I originally started doing it because the propaganda and lies being spread through memes in this community were a lot. Most of the people, like 99.9% in this community, are awesome. They'll help if a poster doesn't understand.

    Thanks , I can't listen to him ramble. My hand uncontrollably goes on my forehead and I get embarrassed that almost half of Americans voted for this fucker.

    ~22% of the population voted for him. Yeah, that's still too much, but it isn't anywhere close to a majority

    277 million Americans were 18 or older in 2024. 77 million voted for Trump. That's ~27%.

    Yes I know. And the ~30% who apparently stayed home voted for him, too, if those figures aren't a complete fabrication.

    They didn't vote for him, but they did unintentionally help him win.

    Nah. They may not have participated in the poll, but they did vote for it by abstaining.

    I don't use archive sites because I don't use Google, but here you go.

    What does Google have to do with archive sites?

    they use recaptcha. that now requires a Google approved mobile device for anyone using a custom ROM or accessing the site using Linux or a VPN. I use CachyOS on PC and GrapheneOS on mobile, and a VPN on both, so I'm effectively banned from any of the Archive sites from now on, until or unless they stop using Google.

    I use CachyOS on PC, and GrapheneOS on mobile, and a VPN on both. so as long as Google requires an approved mobile device to scan the QR code, then I'm effectively banned from any site that uses recaptcha.

    I'm not about to buy a new phone and sign up for a Google account just to use a website, all because a corporation wants to track me.
