Fun Fact: in 2016 trump claimed he won a "massive landslide victory"....

He won 306 electoral votes to Clinton's 232, and had about 3 million less votes than her.

If things continue the way they appear, Joe Biden will get 306 electoral votes to trump's 232, and about 5 million votes MORE than trump!

Oh the coincidence and the irony.

The problem is that it's so often difficult to appreciate sarcasm without and emogee these days. I don't have any emogees but if I did, it would be a sarcasm one.
