    Unfortunately, it’s not the majority. Remember, the majority of people (that voted) voted for this

      Just because majority of voters voted for trump does not mean majority of people in the US wanted it to happen – not everyone voted.

        I considered that when I said of people that voted. Regardless, people knew the stakes and they decided not to care, that’s hardly better

      We don’t actually know if that’s true. Only 74% of the voting age population of the US was registered to vote in 2024. Only 65% of Americans voted on this election cycle and the popular vote was very close. We also know that Trump’s approval ratings have absolutely tanked in his first year coming in at -16 points where as when he started, he sat pretty at +16. He has lost 32% of his initial approval in this country. I would say, it is quite likely, many if not the majority of Americans are well and truly, over this man’s shit, even those who voted for him previously.
