    Texas had a 61% voter turnout with Trump only winning with 56% of the vote meaning that of all eligible voters only 34% voted for trump. So yes, even the voters in Texas who said my vote doesn’t matter because the state is going red anyway were wrong it only went red because all of them stayed home

      Yes, but they are also counting my sister in a deep blue state who chose to go to work instead of going to vote, as one of those millions of people who are to blame for this.

        Yes she is to blame, as are the other millions of people. Freedom has a price, they chose not to pay for it and bended the knee tacitly to this government.
