*60%

277 million Americans were 18 or older in 2024. 77 million voted for Trump. That's ~27%.

Yes I know. And the ~30% who apparently stayed home voted for him, too, if those figures aren't a complete fabrication.

They didn't vote for him, but they did unintentionally help him win.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Nah. They may not have participated in the poll, but they did vote for it by abstaining.

No, that's not how that works. Equating someone who actively votes for Trump with a third-party voter or non-voter is BS. YES, they effectively helped him win by their actions, but motive matters.
