You don't know how to math. 77 million voted for Trump sure but plenty didn't. Yes non voters suck but they aren't 263 million.
Your comment is false and really doesn't help. At all.
No, in fact; they are 91 million. Which is plenty enough to have made a difference between a win and a loss for democracy.
Their comment is not false. If enough non voters voted, things would be very different now.
They didn't vote for him but they also didn't prevent him from getting on that ballot again after he openly tried to overthrow your government, openly courted Nazis, declared himself a dictator, stacked your highest court in favor of himself with bribes and payments, was convicted of dozens of crimes and, and, and...
Who was supposed to stop that? Me? A Canadian? Maybe you expected the French anarchists to protect you. Or the Mexican drug cartels. I don't know. Who was supposed to stop the fascists from rising to power in your country and start killing your own countrymen?
I believe that would be you. I'm pretty sure it's not me. I have my own country's fascism problems to deal with having bled over the border from the shithole to the south of us.
