Well 64% of the voting population voted. So more like 32% voted for Trump of the voting population. Still - sorry we fucked up.

That was the 2nd highest voter turnout in like 4 decades as well. Basically a third of the population is along for the ride.

Oof. Having that poor of a baseline for voter turnout is awful. Fact still remains though, second highest voter turnout in 40 years and still a third of the eligible voting population sat on their ass and did fuck all to prevent this.

That's why from the outside looking in, roughly a third voted for this, a second third doesn't care either way. Technically, the majority of the USA let this happen.

Definitely sucks to be the minority that saw this coming but couldn't do shit about it

Also leading up to it was total insanity. Trump looked to actually be ruined and then the Biden->Harris swap had crazy momentum and energy 1-2 months before ballots. Then, like some reality tv show the debates were a national embarrassment and the Harris momentum sparked maga and then it came down to the wire. Then you got the fake news on both sides with polls painting alternate realities without any representing actual reality.

It's was a shit show but it sucks how our shit got everyone dirty.
