        Regardless he wasn’t popular and isn’t considered a standards bearer. The system is broke which means it works against the people… doesn’t reflect the people.

            That’s a weird way of saying he was elected with a minority via electoral college and not the people. Meanwhile he has never had a positive approval rating and 80% of the country opposes this BS in Iran.

              The point of a democracy is to elect someone to represent the people voting. He won your election. Take some fucking responsibility for that ffs

                  Literally not my problem. Thats your country not mine. You don’t get to elect a buffoon to terrorize your allies then abdicate any responsibility by blaming your system. If you think the system is the problem then fix your fucking system

            He actually wasn’t, which is kind of the problem. He publicly thanked Elon Musk for tampering with voting machines

      1 in 3 did. 1 in 3 did not vote.

      1+1=2.

      And the Republicans rule the house.

      and that’s AFTER 37 felony convictions and evidence of pedophilia.

      He did have a plurality of the vote. Perhaps a majority. Therefore my statement stands.

        He had a plurality of the vote; 42% of those that voted, voted for him. Voter turnout was about 65%. Voter registration was 74%.

        Quick math, what’s 42% of 65% of 75% of the voting populace?

        Most of us didn’t vote for him. Most of us that voted didn’t vote for him.

          Voter turnout was about 65%. Voter registration was 74%.

          So the majority of Americans either voted for him or were complicit.

            He got 42% of the vote. That means that 58% did not vote for him. I don’t know why this is so difficult for y’all to understand.

              Yes but by your own stats a large portion of that 58% were complicit. So the majority either voted for him or were complicit (by not voting). This is literally the implication of the stats you are giving right now.

                Are you intentionally missing the point, or is your reading comprehension even lower than the average American’s? The person you’re responding to said only 42% of the people WHO DID VOTE, voted for Trump, which means that 58% of people who DID VOTE voted for someone else

                  You’re missing the point. Im saying the people who DID NOT vote are complicit and they plus Trump voters make up the majority. This shouldn’t be a hard concept to understand

                  You’re missing the point. Trump voters + non-voters = the majority of Americans. Is that really so hard to understand?
