It really bugs me when I see people say that a majority of Americans support this, because they don’t.
His policies are consistently polling negatively.
A minority of Americans even bother to vote, so the results of the election aren’t entirely representative of the opinions and viewpoints of the majority of Americans.
He didn’t even win a majority of votes in the election. He won with 49%, a plurality.
This isn’t “most Americans”. It’s a passionate minority that is ruling over the majority because of a broken system.
I see this argument being made all the time to try and lessen the reality of what happened. This is the fact the majority of people voted or choose not to vote against an Orange Nazi of a turd for president. The majority of people are directly responsible for this piece of shit in office. You need to face this reality and stop trying to bullshit us.
49.8%, but 50.8% of those voters who didn’t lodge a protest vote. I have more respect for the protestors than for the people who didn’t vote at all (they literally don’t count for anything) but the protesters still had something to do on election day which they thought was more important than helping determine who would be the next President.
As for his policies polling negatively: I don’t care, unless they’re policies that he didn’t campaign on. (And even in that case, the voters still chose the dangerously unpredictable candidate.) Frankly, I have more respect for those Republicans who are happy with what’s going on than for the ones experiencing buyer’s remorse. At least they’re good at being bad, rather than grossly negligent.
With that said, I do think it’s funny that if only about 0.8% of the voters had chosen otherwise then my assessment of the American national character would be dramatically different. I admit that I’m not entirely rational about this.

He repeatedly denied supporting Project 2025, and that’s exactly what he’s been implementing. Start caring
