Dictator on day 1.
Deport 12 million people.
They weren’t subtle.
If only there was some way we could have known.
wilder seems to have a population of about 1600 as of the 2020 census. i was unable to find numbers for 2024, but it appears that in 2025, there was a voter turnout in precinct 0409, which includes wilder, of 66. not 66 percent, mind, but 66 individual people. the total voter registrations only totaled 487. so unless the numbers were ridiculously higher in 2024 (and they undid their voter registration afterwards? can you even do that?), i strongly doubt anwhere near 91% of people there voted for trump.

election results and voter turnoutETA: Found more data! It looks like 712 people in the district voted for trump in 2024. That amounted to 82.03% of the vote, but still less than half of the population, if we assume that only folks from wilder voted, and nobody from the surrounding area. Now, if the population had halved since the 2020 census, and all the votes cast in that district were from people in wilder (and the votes cast against trump were mostly out of town), then we could get close to that 91% figure.

good night ya’ll, and remember, as my grampa said, there’s three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Even if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.
Does the census numbers maybe also contain kids? Could inflate the numbers (although not enough to change it drastically)
91% of people in this town
voted for Trump. They are shocked that the Hispanic community which supports their businesses was raidedare dumb as hellYet Mayor Rhodes insisted there had been “zero impact” on the town.
“These were not our people,” he said of the raid. “What happened out at that track had nothing to do with Wilder.”
“They were too busy being Latino and not running the city,” said the current mayor, Steve Rhodes, adding that race was not something people worried about in Wilder. “I don’t know anyone in town that sees a race,” he said.

The fuck?
Yeah, no. They do, but not in public. Covert racism is still racism.
this is covert to you?
