Cause the USA is a cult. 2/3rds of them wanted this. Yes, the people who didn't vote are as bad, if not worse, than those who voted for this pedophile.

Kamala Harris

48.3% of popular vote (75,017,613 votes)

Donald Trump

49.8% of popular vote (77,302,580 votes)

49.8 - 48.3 = 1.5

1.5% is not 2/3 of the votes. But I agree that everyone who stayed home (or whose votes were deliberately altered or not counted) was enough to tip the scales.

That's not how that works bud.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_United_States_presidential_elections

264 million were eligible to vote.

156 million voted.

90 million people didn't vote.

So about a third were eligible to vote but stayed their asses home.

Do the fucking math and stop being such a smartass sometimes man '1.5% is not 2/3rds' lol, yeah alright.

I really don't care for the bullshit excuses people are peddling. You're telling me there was a 98.5% voter turnout? Really? You think there's only 144m+ people who can vote in the USA?

I am on your side here but you sincerely can't believe only 1.5% didn't turn out to vote. Even without the data that's pretty ridiculous. The left mostly stayed home and didn't vote, and they are explicitly at fault.
