The "Silent Majority"
Many people were discouraged when they saw the huge crowds at Trump's rallies. Republicans were sure it portended a landslide victory for them in the election. They are still traumatized by the number of Democrats that came out in support of Biden and Harris. It just doesn't seem possible to them that they could have lost the election.
Indeed, a record number of supporters and fans came out for the wannabe dictator and the Republicans received a record number of votes. They were able to win several House seats, even though they lost the popular vote by about 5 million. How could that be?
With that many Republicans turning out, coupled with the gerrymandered efforts of Republicans, it made it very difficult for Democrats to win. Even though they were able to turn out over 77 million voters for the cause of defeating Donald Trump, they were still unable to increase their numbers in the House. Unbeknownst to Trump and his supporters, there was a huge "silent majority" out there willing to defend our democracy. People celebrated around the world when it was announced that Joe Biden was announced the winner of the election.
Even at this moment, Trump is planting his people into the Pentagon and elsewhere in the government. One of the first acts of the new Administration should be to call for the immediate resignation of all Trump appointees. They need to clean out that viper's nest and rebuild all the institutions that have been devastated by this most dangerous demagogue.
