I believe the number is roughly closer to 160 million. I don’t blame the trump voters, stupid is gonna stupid, but the non-voters…. 245 million registers voters, 155M voted.

From the song Freewill by Rush, “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”

Edit: Me no math good, so that might not add up exactly, but the point remains.

there’s lots of blame to go around, but you can’t on 1 hand blame apathetic voters and on the other hand NOT blame active trump voters just for stupidity… stupidity may not be a crime, but it also isn’t an excuse

Yes if they didn't try to prevent Trump, they are part of the problem. Except of course if they had a valid reason the were prevented.
