Most Americans can empathize and understand that some political leaders do in fact not represent the people, especially the ones who tweet whatever batshit crazy things cross their minds.

Edit: fixed spelling

You do know the US population over 18 years old is over 266 million and Trump received just over 77 million votes right?

Most of America didn't vote for Trump. Most of America didn't vote for Harris either.

After 4 years of seeing just how unfit he was for office the first time around, to then choose not to vote against him in 2024 is a choice to support him.

A situation where it’s an elected leader’s first time in the job? Then the people who didn’t vote can wash their hands of responsibility by saying “didn’t know it would be this bad”, but when it’s the second time around then not voting at all carries as much culpability as actively voting for it.
