Shit like this is why Trump won.

I voted.

But something like 16 million fewer Americans voted this year compared to 2020. That's an insanely large number of people who simply didn't vote.

Thats why Trump won.

I just checked the current vote counts because everyone is repeating election night totals, which hadn't yet accounted for a lot of votes that were still being tallied. The current difference between 2020 and 2024 is about 5.7 million votes. And they're still not done counting in a few states. Trump won because the majority decided fascism is pretty cool, actually.

Thanks for updated numbers

Those people didn't vote because people like you convinced them there was no difference and therefore no point in voting.
