Not voting and being okay with it are not the same. Voter disenfranchisement is a real thing. There where bomb threats, people removed from voting rolls, and copious amounts of propaganda. These things do not happen in a vacuum.
I'm not including disenfranchisement. It's a big problem in the US, but it's not 86-million big. those who could vote and didn't are complicit.
If the disenfranchised and non-counted mail in votes were counted there’s a high likelihood Trump would have lost the upper mid-west states that gave him the win. Georgia would have possibly been too close to call if not for voter suppression.
You're mostly wrong. That was the cause of a minority of non voters. The vast majority simply didn't care to vote.
