But only ~30% of the population, and those people only after 70 years of education cuts, misinformation, and religious indoctrination…it took the GOP a long time, but they got what they wanted. It’s a real endorsement for perseverance. And amoral greed, I guess.

You need to add in those that didn't vote.

If you don't vote then you automatically support who is elected.

They knew he was a possibility and still didn't bother showing up to prevent his reelection after he had led an insurrection for being voted out the first time.

At the bare minimum anyone who didn't show up to vote is complicit.

what kind of logic is that? of all the inherent faults in representative democracy, the specifics in which it is carried in USA, and you put the blame on the non-voter strawman?
