The vast majority of Americans either voted for this, or don't care.
Will there be some protests? Sure. Nothing will come of it, though. The only thing that will enact any real change is if big corporations start losing any profits due to all this upheaval, in which case they may put pressure to get things settled down.
- accrual 2y agoA lot of voters didn't turn out, so it's not accurate to say most Americans voted for this. There's also the issue of Trump saying Musk helped him win two key states during his inauguration speech, which some consider just short of an admission to rigging the election. Only something like 3% of the population needs to actively strike and protest to start affecting corporations.
- kelnos 2y agoAbstaining from voting means "I am ok with whatever the rest of you decide". While that's not an active vote in favor, it's close enough. I don't care about non-voters. If they don't care enough to vote, they're not worth considering when we try to assign "blame" for the current situation. The American public voted for this, full stop.
