Trump received the majority of votes *cast*.

However, ⅓ of voters did not vote. Roughly ⅓ voted for him, ⅓ for Harris, ⅓ did not vote. So the majority of voters did not actually vote for him.

My people try the same maths for delusion. Truth is: you don’t know who the people who didn’t vote support. They certainly aren’t a reliable ally to stop Trump. They might even be worse. Most likely, they don’t do shit either way and are therefore complicit with the power

For the record, Trump did not get a majority of the votes cast. He got 49.81% of the votes.

That IS the majority! Harris got 48%. It’s just not the absolute majority. Don’t do desperation maths

You see how the tiny difference means nothing and everyone’s cowering. The majority of the US Americans voted a fascist who declared beforehand he would do fascist politics. And not only a few of these people were ready for violence had they not won

Not the majority because many did not vote at all.

I’d say, that makes things worse.

It’s a plurality. Or a majority of the votes cast for one of the top two candidates, if you want, but not a majority of votes cast. “Majority” means more than 50%, not just more than anyone else.

Plurality = relative majority

However, I suggest democrats to build gangs and get armed. You’re not safe.
