None of the exact numbers were relevant to my argument. I was only interested in the total amount of people voting for him. Which is millions. That's all that matters. Millions of people who felt uncomfortable and excluded and looked for the loudest and most visible outlet for their discomfort.
You only latched onto the very last sentence of my whole post upstream. Let me quote myself: Anyway, I do agree with the googler that the current overton window is heavily slanted to the point where quite a big fraction of the population feels uncomfortable and excluded, otherwise trump would never have gotten that much support.
Do note that I never said he got a majority. "Much support" simply means a large absolute amount of people voting for him. Enough to not be easily dismissed.
> Now if you think you somehow won a great victory, you didn't.
I neither claimed nor implied that in any of my posts.
> And since from your writing it appears that you voted for Trump
Appearances can be deceiving.
> yes, I and people like me think much less of you and people like you.
That's the crux of "the culture wars".
