    155 of 340 million Americans voted.

    To me, this means that 185 million people, with the exception of a small percentage, didn’t care, or was fine with whatever, making them complicit.

    In addition to that, 77 million voters, voted for Trump.

    So 262 million Americans either voted for Trump or were complicit in the decision that was made by their countrymen. That’s a whopping 77% of Americans either asked for this or they were completely fine with it if this was the outcome.

    So yeah. There’s some Americans, about 23% that tried, at least… The rest of the Americans are either complicit or wanted this… And as a Canadian, that 77% is why I’m actively avoiding American made goods, and I will continue to do so, regardless of tariffs, for the next few years… I’ll probably stop around 2029 or so… We’ll see how things go from there…

          Rather than argue over that detail the point is it doesn’t make sense to blame the entire population and turn it into more apathetic voters than voters. Our numbers are bad enough on their own, thanks
