  > that apparently their vast majority of eligible voters prefers The 2024 election was 49.8% Trump vs 48.3% Harris on a turnout of 64.3%. So essentially, only 1 in 3 eligible voters preferred Trump (the other two were split between not voting and voting for Harris).

    (If those numbers are accurate, personally - I have "opinions" about the legitimacy of Trumps numbers) Also - in-my-opinion, complacency around "not voting" means tacit acceptance of whomever arrives. The lack of any large-scale, on-going citizen protests, disruptions (general strikes), seems to indicate the same - but I sure hope I am wrong and things may shift a little with their upcoming midterms (if they are legitimate). OTOH, perhaps the various media (traditional and social) platforms have been doing some "calming" around stories of various protests to avert large-scale social disruptions... (We certainly can't trust the various executives/boards of those organizations when you track who/when they have been donating money and "gifts" too, and which events their leadership have attended...)
