Voters, but a minority of them.* Then kept in office by a minority (43%) of Republican Senate legislators.
* Yes, that is the correct term. In each election >50% chose "Not Trump".
* Yes, that is the correct term. In each election >50% chose "Not Trump".
There are only one people that have any chance of changing that system though.
Enough to condemn the US forever in the eyes of the world. It’s no longer seen as a reliable ally or a desirable destination by the majority around the world.
What is enough involves the outcomes of other elections/candidates, where almost all the Republican party decided that this time around they were going to go into full-steam ahead with Trump's whims and crimes.
Uhhh... Not voting at all doesn't count as "Not Trump". It counts as "I don't care," which implicitly means "whatever everyone else thinks".
This is such a dumb thing to try to play semantic games about. A majority of voters elected the clown, and the population of non-voters is complicit in that.
1. Of all ballots, only 49.7961% were for Trump. [0]
2. Of ballots where someone made a non-blank choice for President, 50.1976% were for candidates who were not-Trump.
So when I explicitly wrote about a "minority" of "voters", that really does mean an an actual mathematical minority of the people who actually voted, thankyouverymuchdamnit.

Guess you're right, though
As the saying goes: "Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'."
Turns out they were right, but instead of losing the attitude, they doubled down on the toxicity. When I admitted they were right, they doubled down again.
So yeah, pretty obnoxious, all told.
