Comment on The sickness of infinite greed cannot be sustained on our finite planet

Roughly 75% of adults are registered to vote.
Of those only half or so actually do vote.
Of those only half voted for Rump.
So were down to just under 20% of the US being Rump voters.

And what makes you think that all the non-voters are against Trump? I’m quite certain that of all non-voters, roughly 50% are still for Trump.
More voters does not necessarily mean a shift in distribution, unless it is a generational topic, where older people have more weight as they have more time to vote. But in terms of politics, age groups do not matter that much.
Does not matter if you like it or not. Fact is that roughly 50% of the US is pro Trump, which is why the peaceful protests are useless.

Well if you want to shift to Rump supporters instead of actual voters, his approval just hit record lows of only 33%.

I am not sure how representative those surveys are. In the first term, Trump’s approval rating was between 34% and 49% over the span of 4 years. As comparison, Biden’s was between 36% and 57%. So technically higher.
And yet here we are, with Trump serving a second term. This is why I don’t think those surveys are telling the whole story.
