Nearly half of Americans voted for Trump. Those people are bad people. I wouldn't jump to that conclusion in 2017, but we saw the first term and they said yes to an even meaner version of Trump. So you only need 5% of so from the rest to be "most".

2/3 of eligible Americans did not vote against Trump.

The first time, sure okay it's reasonable to not be fully informed.

but the second time? that's willful ignorance.

Solid point, the third that didn't vote means they didn't vote against Trump. They are bad people too.
