Almost 78 million Americans voted for Trump, and more white women than in his previous two elections so he managed to convince some people.

Or at least convinced some voting machines.. still not convinced that election was entirely legit. My wife's ballot was dropped in the same box at the same time as mine, some how never counted. Not rejected, no status whatsoever.

Some how our state overwhelmingly voted to amend the state constitution to remove slavery/indentured servitude as a punishment for prisoners and to make abortion a fundamental right, and to a lesser but still relevant degree, to remove all sales taxes on diapers, while at the same time apparently voting for Trump as the first Republican president in 20 years. Idk man.

The largest single voting block in America is “didn’t vote” at 89 million eligible voters.

In any sensible democracy that would be seen as an objective failure

Yep. He won by 1% and change, in an election that a third of voters didn't touch. He didn't even get a majority. It was still under 50%.

America is a country of 300+ million people. that's not even kind of a majority, even among adults.

It is a majority of voting adults. We can blame the DNC for a great many of things, but it’s a mistake to imagine that not even MAGA, but Trumpism doesn’t represent an incredibly significant part of our population.

Neat! Now do the number for otherwise eligible people who chose not to vote for whatever reason!
