Data is the ultimate Fact Check. This is a President that's adamantly opposed to fact checking [1] and has even coerced Facebook to drop fact checking. Of course they don't want data on government sites that disprove their "alternate facts". [1] https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4920827-60-minutes-tru...

Can we please stop this bit of misinformation? Trump: 77,168,458 votes (49.9%) https://www.reuters.com/graphics/USA-ELECTION/RESULTS/zjpqne... https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/president-re... https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/11/05/us/elections/...

We weren't able to save our economy from monopolies and tyranny, and now you want us to go stand up against the people with tanks and machine guns!?
At this rate I expect you'll tell me to stop importing iPhones and Perrier...
