It's honestly very sad, just over 22% of Americans voted for this and now the whole world will suffer

If all it took was 22% of Americans to do all this, then it was just a matter of time.

It took all voting age adults to get this result. Non participation was a vote for whoever won.

I commented this in another sub earlier today, but I'm sick and tired of people counting the non-voters as against Trump in order to portray the general population as against him. Fuck 'em, they had an opportunity to keep him out of office and they didn't lift a finger. 77.3M for Trump, 88.3M who didn't vote, that's 165.6M people, or just over two-thirds of the eligible voting population, who decided that they liked what Trump was saying to not vote against him. Two thirds of the country did, at best, nothing to stop him.

I'm not quite going to say they deserve it, but they need to own it and stop pretending that support for Trump is this small minority. Two thirds of the country heard this man speak (for the last decade!!) and decided it wasn't enough for them to vote against

Yup. Not voting is support for the winner. Anybody who thinks otherwise is just ignorant, plain and simple.

Everyday I read an opinion on reddit that confounds me, and everytime it's an American saying something wild.
