No, people do not. Roughly 50 % would still vote him.

[–] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Less than 30%. A full third of the USA can't be bothered to vote at all

Don't forget the gerrymandering and efforts to make it unreasonably difficult for people to vote.

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

remember, less than 50% of people who voted voted for him. Over a million more people voted for Hillary than Trump. Largest loss in both % and people in history, I think (for a winning presidential election).

Roughly 50 % would still vote him.

Evidence?

The last election and current approval polls?

Yeah, unfortunately I'm aware. Of course it's just making it more obvious every day that 50% of the population are below the average intelligence.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well yeah, that's how averages work. But what isn't obvious is why so many trump followers are intentionally and proudly ignorant, going so far as to attack education as being nothing but indoctrination

There's a big overlap between trump followers and conspiracy theorists

Agreed... It's unfortunate that we're finding out so many people didn't take their education seriously.
