When you hear social justice warriors claiming math is racist, understand that they want to demean the science of counting in order to make it easier to cover up the incredible disconnect between hard numbers and alleged outcomes.
EXAMPLE: Nielsen on Thursday released TV ratings for Joe Biden’s first speech to Congress Wednesday night. Apparently I wasn’t the only one who didn’t bother to watch. According to Nielsen, Biden drew 26.9 million viewers.
CONTEXT: That total of 26.9 million is down 43.6 percent from the 47.7 million viewers who tuned in for Donald’s Trump first address to Congress as president. Trump’s lowest viewership for such a speech was 37.2 million in 2020 and he drew more than 45 million viewers each in 2018 and 2019.
WHAT IT MEANS: Biden is nowhere near as exciting or popular enough to have put up the record vote totals he is alleged to have drawn in the most recent presidential election. His rallies drew flies. His other appearances could have been contained in the average men’s room at a public facility.
And yet we are supposed to believe that Biden pulled in just under 81.3 million votes, easily eclipsing the previous record of 69.5 million for Obama in 2008. Trump, in a supposed losing 2020 effort, drew an admitted 74.2 million votes, also easily bettering Obama’s top total.
Biden won under 17 percent of the counties in the United States, a record low for a winning presidential candidate in this country.
I’m surprised no one got to Nielsen to fudge these television ratings upward, to make for better optics. Or maybe I’m not surprised because Biden’s in office now and it doesn’t matter that he’s obviously not very compelling and his vote totals continue to smell like month-old roadkill in July.
There will be no serious reporting of the pathetically small ratings numbers by lamestream media; no wondering aloud how this sort of recurring under-performance statistically could have produced a Biden election victory.
Instead they will tell you just to keep repeating to yourself: Math is racist.
