How do you figure? 3 out of 4 adults did not vote for him.
Do you have evidence of 3 out of 4 or are you taking that on faith? To vote for most people, is a choice those that choose not to vote I don't understand.
Maybe if those that are just to disgusted with out current leaders would vote, we could have a third more moderate party.

Only @50% of voting age people voted. .
only about 50% of those who voted, voted for him.
I know this is a tricky bit of math, but that's about 3 out of 4 adults not voting for him.

Here are the numbers
Nearly half of adult Americans don't vote
Quote:Nearly half of eligible voters (231,556,622 people) did not vote in the 2016 presidential election, according to data of early turnout rates compiled by the United States Election Project and crunched by Josh Nelson. The full results may not be available until two weeks.
The early data found that of the U.S. population:
- 46.6% didn't vote
- 25.6% voted for Hillary Clinton
- 25.5% voted for Donald Trump
- 1.7% voted for Gary Johnson
Please let me know if you need further evidence, or help with the math.

I don't hate Trump - certainly dislike the fucker, but I don't hate him. What I hate and fear is the attitudes his presidency may legitimise, and the organisations his policies will embolden.

Someone's getting cheeky.

Just wondering whether the ones who couldn't be arsed voting are the ones who are now protesting? If so it sounds very familiar.

I don't hate Trump, I don't love Trump. I find Trump interesting but that's about it.
Though I do love his getting elected if only for the dank memes and the sweet sweet tears of the insane liberal SJW crowd I've been provided with on YouTube. Their sadness will give me enough life energy to live for a thousand years!

I always wonder if these attitudes also apply towards people who are just fearing what this change has in store for them. Personally, I am terrified of Pence's previous stances and what he may do in the future to people like me now that he has this level of power. I don't think seeing the world burn is worth the pain some people will feel because of this. And no, I'm not just talking about the "whining SJW crowd" you are referring to. Not every groan is lumped in with them.
I'm not just directing this question at you, either. You just had the most recent post of this nature.
