Either people voted against him, for him, or abstained from voting (implicitly agreeing with whatever decision the majority made).
The last two groups there, vastly outweighed the first one in this election.
You’re right, not everyone wanted this… But that’s how democracy is. You vote and, at least in theory, the person that the most people vote for (believe in/agree with), is then made president.
By definition, democracy will always have people who didn’t vote for the current government.
All I’m saying is that either by action (voting for Trump) or inaction (not voting), a majority decided that he should become president.

Right but you didn’t say that. You said “you voted for this”, as if Americans are some monolithic bloc with equal responsibility for the current state of affairs. If you tell me that I, an American, deserve the current administration because I voted for it, you are just completely, literally wrong. I, and 75 million other people, voted for Harris.
