    31% of Americans voted for Trump. And less than half of American voters voted for him.

    Is this supposed to be reassuring? Because I’ll tell you what I think: more than 10,000 total across the entire country voting for the orange utan is absolutely alarming.

      Yeah, a non vote is still a political stance, and shows that a large portion of the population doesn’t care. It’s naive to just lump them in assuming they’d vote against Trump.

      Americans has a huge population that is unhinged. These constant attempts to downplay how much of the population is supposedly not supportive of Trump isn’t reassuring at when it hasn’t made the difference in people world wide being affected.
