People in Beehaw are nice (thank you all for that), but I am put off of the idea of reddit-like sites because of how toxic Reddit became (and also because of it lumping all USians as you-know-what), and when I select "All" for all lemmy instances in post view, it brings back bad memories of reddit.

I am very sorry if i anger anybody in Beehaw. this is also the reason why I am not active in beehaw.

Just over half of the voting population voted for this guy

Notably, it's "just under half" of votes cast for President were cast for Donald Trump. He won without a majority of the vote, getting only 49.8% of the votes cast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election

He is not, and never was, a "popular" President.

Adding more to your point, voter turnout was 64%, so less than half of less than two-thirds of registered voters voted for him.
