Not surprising considering Facebook's demographics in the United States.

Also given the fact that Trump's rallies were attended to in extremely larger numbers compared to that of Biden's, and the new White House videos being downvoted heavily in YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/WhiteHouse/videos

We have to be extremely careful when alleging election fraud. I think that may be perceived to be divisive. It would be more fruitful to directly link to the individual allegations instead:

In 2 days, SCOTUS will hear some of these cases:

Ben Shapiro is definitely a fascist and most certainly a racist but that doesn’t make him alt-right. What the hell is alt-right anyways? As in, what are the fundamental principles of its ideology?

How do you determine who is a fascist? Do you take into account any counter-evidence when making such a deduction?

Their eyebrows.

You do realize that that makes Trump and his supporters look worse not better? Considering there's currently a pandemic going on.

Indeed, the silent majority of this country voted for Biden.

You're going to have to explain why you don't think Ben Shapiro is alt-right, he's basically a poster child for them.

What does 'alt' mean when added as a prefix to left or right to you? What % of people on the right would you consider alt-right? What % of people on the left would you consider alt-left?

Ben Shapiro and Dan Bongino, and 'conservative media' are alt-right now? Great journalism here. This doofus author clearly shows what he's about.

Shapiros history of consistent homophobic, transphobic, islamophobic vitrol sure do seem consistent with everything I hear from people in the alt right movement and validates them. He also claims he is not alt right, not homophobic, and not racist. So there is that.

This shouldn't be surprising as Trump was recently found in a Gallup poll to be more admired than Obama and Biden. https://news.gallup.com/poll/328193/donald-trump-michelle-ob... > Overall, 18% of Americans name Trump, 15% name Obama, 6% Biden and 3% Fauci. I do find it a tad bit curious that Biden, with a mere 6% approval rate, was certified to have won the election and Trump apparently lost it when he had thrice Bi…

There was another survey in November where Biden was slightly ahead of Trump, however.

This is bullshit. There is a much smaller number of conservative news websites or tv channels compared to democrats, though the population is roughly 50/50, so of course the few conservative outlets individually attracts more traffic hence appearing more often in top links, but not in aggregate.

> He also claims he is not alt right, not homophobic, and not racist. So there is that. Would you claim you're not alt-right, homophobic or racist? You seem like the kind of person who would deny all those labels to be honest.

I probably am a little sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and racist in ways I don't fully realize due to my privileges.

Unlike Shapiro however you will be unlikely to find any overtly bigoted content scrolling through my public commentary.

Biden is president because of like 62,000 votes across 4 different states.
