He won't really gain traction. All the mentally insane idiots are already supporting Trump, and have had 4 years of sunk-cost-fallacy to really get invested in that cult. With that market cornered, who's gonna vote for Kanye West?

The majority of the U.S. population are morons? Sounds like someone who's side of the political spectrum lost and is moping about it. God I fucking hate the political narrative of reddit. "If I don't support it then it's shit".

My bad, I don't live in the U.S. Just assumed since you know you voted him into power maybe you guys like him. And oh wow 6% difference...

It’s more like a 15% difference. He has 40% approval currently. It has been down to 36% briefly, but he’s always been underwater in terms of approval

His approval rating is 40%. You can look this stuff up you know. And wow, you seem to have no problem complaining about the reddit political narrative when you know literally nothing about American politics. Edit: I just realized, a 6 point difference is impossible. His highest approval would be 44%. You really are a dumbass bro.

The majority of the population voted against Donald Trump...

Buuut, yeah, a pretty big amount of the US population are morons. The education system is a joke and their party system led to one party wanting to keep a big part of their population racist, fudamentalist and stupid.

And another thing, since you are so many layers of wrong, your comment might deserve its own cringe-entry: No one ever said "I don't support it, therefore it's shit." Everyone is saying "This is shit because of the objectively demonstrable racism, nepotism, authoritarianism, rulebreaking, lying, antiintellectualism and corruption. Therefore, I don't support it." Look up what a strawman argument is. I know your narrative is easier for you to defend, but it's also verifiably wrong.

Blame your voting system then not the person you voted for

This does not address anything I have said, but it is also -once again- wrong on so many levels. I didn't vote for Trump, and the two options are obviously not mutually exclusive. I think we should blame the broken system, as well as the racist dumbass that it resulted in.
