The silent majority

Republicans and MAGA people can’t believe that Biden received 81 million voters because they equate large rally crowds, boat parades, Trump flags and signs, twitter followers, F Joe Biden chants, tv ratings, etc as being a sign of being popular. They like to call themselves the silent majority, but those things prove that they are a loud and obnoxious minority, and that the 81 million people are the silent majority that don’t need to participate in that type of stuff

adoration/veneration/propaganda/whatnot was someone other than the former guy (even one with totally different politics/views/positions/personal behavior).

Their performance-art loyalty act is dumb, and often reality-free, yes. But it is also unimaginative, it is shallow, it is predictable in a certain respect. It's frankly boring. How can a group of people so fixated on becoming the center of everyone's attention fail so badly at being interesting?

I saw lots of "friends" post that there was no way Biden won because they didn't see as many Biden signs as trump signs pre-election.

My response was always... "signs don't vote."
