Thanks , I can't listen to him ramble. My hand uncontrollably goes on my forehead and I get embarrassed that almost half of Americans voted for this fucker.

75 seconds from we don’t how to build ice breaking ships

Finland is going to build us 11

Some of the 11 will be built in US

We’ll have 55 very soon…

~22% of the population voted for him. Yeah, that's still too much, but it isn't anywhere close to a majority

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe so, but almost 40% of the population thinks he's doing a good job.

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

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

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 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

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.
