    No the problem is ALL the about 75% that didn’t vote against him.
    They were fine with letting Trump win.

      According to usnews.com (maybe not the most reputable source but),

      64% of the voting-eligible population in the U.S. voted in the 2024 election.

      Of those, who voted, 49.8% voted trump and 48.3% voted kamala.

      That means 31.8% of eligible voters voted for trump, 30.912% voted for kamala, 0.012% voted other, and 36% didnt vote at all. That makes it 62-63% 68% of eligible voters didnt vote against him.

      Which isnt much better

        30.912% voted for kamala

        That makes 69.1% that didn’t vote against Trump.

        Or in very rough rounded numbers.

        About half voted, about half of those voted against Trump. = 75% that didn’t.

        It was never meant to be an accurate number, but a ballpark rounded number. From 75 to 69 is 6% inaccurate. Good enough for the point I was trying to make. And more accurate numbers dont change the point in any way.
        The point is a vast majority is OK with having a flaming fascist sociopath as president.
