Summary
Donald Trump’s second inauguration drew an estimated 24.6 million television viewers, the lowest audience for a presidential inauguration since Barack Obama’s second in 2013.
Viewership declined compared to Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration (33.8 million) and Trump’s first in 2017 (30.6 million).
Fox News led coverage, averaging 10.3 million viewers during the swearing-in and speech, while other networks saw smaller audiences.
“We wanted to win the election, but the prospect of continuing to be complicit in genocide was just too tempting”
The problem is morons who thought there was any way out of participating in the genocide. Your choices were either Harris who would rubber stamp arms sales to Israel while using them to bring them to the bargaining table in an effort to try to stop the slaughter or Trump who is going to supercharge the genocide until every Arab man woman and child in Gaza is dead.
And both of them are completely beholden to AIPAC who, thanks to Citizens United, dump football fields full of cash into our electoral process. People talk about Russian election interference but Israel’s been interfering in our politics for decades.
