I guess you always meant it more like " Trump won the election with a majority of the electoral college and won the popular vote", so maybe this discussion was kinda unnecessary, but I for me there is a clear difference between those two statements which I wanted to point out. I think its helpful to make clear that there are more than 77% of people living in the US that in fact did not vote for Trump and might be receptive for many different ways of resisting the fascist coups.
The ones who made a concious choice not to vote are such a small group of people that its just weird to keep focussing on them. The thought that informed anti electoralism is a noteworthy force in US politics is imo heavily misguided and fails to highlight and tackle all the barriers that many people face when they actually want to vote/participate in democracy.
Yeah not voting because you have to work to survive or because you have to do child care or dozens of other situations makes your imprisonment and death in an concentration camp deserved /s
I’m simply pointing out the Trump won the election with a majority of the electoral college and won the popular vote.
He won the contest by the rules and some people can’t seem to wrap their minds around it.

The ones who were eligible to vote and didn’t chose it just as much as if they voted for him.

What? Should we absolve 40% of the population? 90 million people?
Fuck that and fuck them. They deserve everything coming.

Yeah, surely all 90 million habe that excuse. Fuck off with that bullshit.
They are not a small group.
Proof it. Show me your statistics
According to this source:
Out of the voting-eligible population of 244,666,890 156,302,318 ballots were cast which means 88,364,572 voting-eligible people did not vote.
That beats Harris’s total of 75,017,613 by 13,346,959 and Trump’s winning total of 77,302,580 by 11,061,992.
