You can't really say "no one" when Trump won the 2016 election and nearly won the 2020 election. You should probably check your assertions.

- bediger4000 4y agoIn neither case did he get even a simple majority of the votes. He won/almost won due to a quirky US presidential system that overrepresents small population states. That fact supports the "no one" generalization.
- kevinventullo 4y agoOk, but it’s not like he got 10% of the vote. In my mind, there isn’t that big of a difference between say 45% and 55% when drawing conclusions about society. Still, I’m not sure I would consider everyone who voted for Trump as part of the “Trumpy right” any more than I would consider myself part of the radical left just because I voted for Biden.
