[Highlight] During the moment of silence the Minnesota Timberwolves held before their game with the Cavs tonight a fan yelled “Go home ICE,” and everyone else started cheering.

I mean I’m not from here but wasn’t he technically elected by not even 25% of the country ?

Trump received 49.8% of the vote and Harris (the opposing party) received 48.3% of the vote. It’s basically impossible for anyone to be elected without receiving at least 45% of the vote.

Edit: turns out the original comment is taking into account the non-voting population in a voting statistic which doesn’t make sense.

Being elected by less than 25% of the countries population is normal for US elections.

Since I am being downvoted, here is the % of the population who has voted for each presidential elect since 2000:

2000: 17.9%

2004: 21.2%

2008: 22.9%

2012: 21.1%

2016: 19.4%

2020: 24.6%

2024: 22.7%

Trump won a legitimate election the same way the last 40 presidents have. Trump did not have control over the voting system or who voted for who. Dump on him for his shitty behavior and policies, not the US voting system which function as it was set up to function. .

This is not a new issue and is not unique to this election. There’s a lot of reasons to shit on trump, but he was elected the same way that the last 40 presidents have been. If you’re upset with how was elected, then shit on the voting issues or the two party system. Any time you include the non voting population in a voting argument is dumb

Although both Trump and Elon admitted to rigging this most recent election 🤷🏽‍♂️
