(27,811 posts)I know turnout was up significantly, but there are still a lot of people who are just plain apathetic. I see it on social media all the time. They are just checked out or focusing on different things and they have a huge distaste for politics.
I am sure a fair percentage of them are racists, but probably lower than the percentage of voters who are.
It's still terrible. But I don't think it's quite that bad.
