51% of Americans DID NOT vote for the felon

12. Counting everyone who stayed home as anti-Trump doesn't make any sense.

One has a right to vote in this country (for the most part). If one chooses not to vote, they don't register an opinion either way. It can't just be argued that they all voted against Trump by proxy. In fact, since everyone knows the threat Trump represents, the exact opposite could be argued. Their decision to stay home helped enable Trump to win.

Neither is really true. Those of us who voted represent those who did not, simply because they didn't bother. The same applies to our elected representatives. They represent everyone, not just those who bothered to show up.

Polls of all registered voters - and of all adults and not just voters - usually show the nation at roughly 50/50*, when leaners are included. Just because 1/3 didn't show up doesn't mean that they don't have an opinion. If you're arguing that only 1/3 of the country "really" supports Trump, that assertion is false.
