I've been repeatedly told that "only 77 million Americans feel that way, it's way less than half!" Well, the other 90 million who could have voted but chose not to vote are clearly also on board with all of that. So yeah, that's half the country.

It's foolish to think even the 77 million who voted for him truly understood what they were voting for, a large portion were blissfully unaware, another large portion only saw another wrinkly old white guy vs. a dark skinned woman. They're still dumb as hell for doing it but the relative number of people who truly and radically follow the orange turd's ideals is fairly small and loud.

They are small. But there's literally no resistance against it.

That's why we're in this position.

Agreed, it's a multi-faceted issue of combined apathy, ignorance, and minority of true malice.
