Sod it ill give you a proper response
We're seeing two different points from the same evidence. This is the crux of the partisan issue. Your point, the anti-Trump stance, will typically use ad hominems as the main argument (a recognised logical fallacy).
If someone believes the election was rigged and uses screencaps of YouTube likes to seriously support this theory then they 100% deserve to be called dangerously thick. In-fact scrap that… anyone claiming its still rigged for any reason deserves to be called dangerously thick given the complete lack of any evidence and the fact no court (even ones with republican judges) would give Trumps lawyers the time of day.
You also seem to have forgotten that Trump is the most polarising president in recent history, for all the worshippers he has he is also absolutely loathed in equal numbers. Similar to how Man United are very popular but also very unpopular. Biden doesn’t need to have a diehard fanbase like Trump, he just needs to not be Trump to gain a huge chunk of the votes.
Then there is the fact that Trump has the worst approval rating of any recent president by a sizeable amount. Also there was the midterms in 2018 which showed a swing towards the democrats… why ignore all these factors which show that lots of people were not happy with him and instead focus on very specific social media likes/dislikes to support the narrative that its hard to believe he lost ?
Speaking of social media… Twitter is overwhelmingly anti Trump, the amount of negative trump tweets to pro trump tweets is massively lopsided, conservatives are completely outnumbered as they are on reddit. Yet im not about to claim that this is a sign that everyone in the US hates Trump as social media is not an accurate reflection of society as a whole. America has been more or less split down the middle between conservative and liberals for yonks, the idea that all of a sudden one of the most divisive presidents managed to flip that long standing narrative in their favour is delusional.
My interpretation: it appears Trump is more popular than Biden if we assume youtube-feedback is a microcosm of the nation at large (and just like how polls work, there's no reason why not). Very popular, and further proving this by gaining 13m more votes than 2016, yet the seemingly unpopular Biden still won the election...this may ring alarm bells for some. What's the counter-argument?
Your counter-argument: conservatives are thick.
That wasn’t my counter argument though was it, my counter argument was that the left don’t tend to worship politicians the way the right currently worship Trump and also that you don’t need to be a fan of someone to vote for them.
I know it? No, i don't know it. Because I know this sort of stuff:
Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize as soon as he came into office. He then bombed and killed thousands of innocent Arab civilians, and aggressively went after whistleblowers, all without facing mass calls to be stripped of this award. This suggests he was untouchable, protected by being an idol who was worshipped.
How is one organisation giving him an award proof that the left worshipped him ? It’s disingenuous to suggest he was worshipped to the same level Trump is. Yes Obama was well liked by large portions of the left and will have had some people who worshipped him but it never got to full blown cult like levels the way it has with Trump.
Do you think there would have been an insurrection if Obama had lost to Mitt Romney in 2012 ? Do you think Obama supporters would have got involved in a movement like Qanon and spread the belief that Obama was here to save us from paedophile deep state Republicans ?
Why is grift culture so prevalent on the right relative to the left ? Because it relies heavily on people who are balls deep in partisanship, people who love their side so much they will hand over their hard earned money just so they can hear people say what they want to hear.
Trump was a phenom in terms of connecting with his base, look at the level of loyalty they have for him, its unrivalled. He is worshipped by his followers/base to a level I've never seen before.
ok mate
