2/3 voting age Americans did not vote for this. That's a fact.
A large part of voting age Americans didn't care enough either way.
I hope they all suffer for it. I hope they cry.
Is this horseshoe theory? lol
This is "angry people can become malicious no matter what they believe in"-theory.
They should have voted to prevent this, but only half of them did. They other half lived through the first Trump admin and decided that it was not worth a few minutes of their time to prevent it. They didn't have to cross an ocean or fight a war... they needed to visit a website to get registered and the mail a form (or stand in line for a while) to vote, and they didn't.
In other words, only 1/3 of Americans voted against this.
Voter turnout was 64% which means 36% of Americans didn't give enough of a shit to vote. Combine that with those who did vote for Trump and yeah, more than 2/3rds of Americans may as well have voted for it
Edit: the distinction may not matter to you but it does to the countries your country is fucking over
2/3 of Americans were ok with it though :(
No, more like half of those 2/3rds are going to bitch about all this and vot the same way (or continue to not vote) in the next election.
