Update from earlier post. 2024 vote tallies as of 11 November. Based on electorates of 232 million in 2020, 244 million in 2024. As reported earlier, Nobody was the true victor of the election for President of the United States of America in 2024, as in every year since before 1932 except for 2020. Half of Nobody’s margin of victory came at the expense of the Democratic candidate (the other half from new Nobody voters). When tallies are corrected for the 5% increase in the number of eligible voters between 2020 and 2024, Mr Trump lost 4 million votes to Nobody, whereas Ms Harris lost 14 million.
[Lord Bidentime] found the Emperor’s Bane in the Audience Room. It bore no weapon, made no aggressive movements. It simply stood there, a vast viewing screen wreathed in supernatural fire, showing shifting panoramas of citizens of the Empire, what they were doing, what they were thinking. Bidentime stared, transfixed, while scene after scene depicted Restoration forces dissolving into petty squabbles, while the Usurper’s supporters marshaled their resources and, in a cruel irony, bided their time. And meanwhile, most of the citizens of the Empire returned to their prime activity of watching funny cat stills and videos for hours on end.
