~75M people out of ~340M asked for this. That’s like 22% of the population. The rest of us absolutely did not ask for this.
The country did vote for it though.
Only those 75ish million. No more, no less.
Although it’s also worth noting that not everyone who voted for Trump supports everything he does. In fact I suspect most don’t, but they’ve been fooled into thinking his “business acumen” will make their lives materially better.
He lies all the time so they don’t actually have any idea what he’s going to do. The sad thing is they know that and voted for him anyway.
75 million people decided they wanted this, a bit less than that decided they didn’t, and the remainder decided they did not care enough about their country to give their opinion either way
I’d buy this in 2016 but not 2024. There is literally no excuse.
