I’m shocked that I haven’t seen one protest yet. Is the media suppressing them? If there aren’t any, why?

    Because over half the people voted for him and are convinced of everything he says and does. My f’ing BIL thinks Trump can’t do anything wrong. Just go question him on other social media, especially a state subreddit, and people will say things like “so you are in favor or waste and fraud!?” like it is case closed.

      No they didn’t. Only like 60% of eligible voters actually voted in this past election. Which means only about 30% of eligible voters voted for Trump. About 80% of the country’s population are eligible voters, and since only 30% voted for Trump, 80% x 30% = 24% of the population voted for him. Roughly a quarter of people voted for him, not half.

      And for anyone who’s wondering, “why did only 60% of eligible voters vote?” The answer is mostly voter suppression in various forms.
