      The majority of voters did not vote for this.

      It’s more like 1/3rd, or a minority.

      After seeing what Trump has done and will do, I don’t think the majority like what’s happening. Sucks that they didn’t vote though, which might not be their fault since voter suppression is a thing

        The majority didn’t. I crunched the numbers under this post.

        R’s garnered some ~32% of the eligible vote, while D’s got ~31% and I’s ~1%. The other ~36% of eligible voters didn’t vote.

        So it’s more like 1/3rd of the US electorate voted for this, far from the majority. You’re correct.

      elections are less of a way to voice our opinion and more of a pop quiz for the elite to see what they can get away with
