Both things can be true, but it’s funny that two opposite sounding replies came to this one comment about US politics.

    Comment 1: It really bugs me when I see people say that a majority of Americans support this, because they don’t.

    His policies are consistently polling negatively.

    A minority of Americans even bother to vote, so the results of the election aren’t entirely representative of the opinions and viewpoints of the majority of Americans.

    He didn’t even win a majority of votes in the election. He won with 49%, a plurality.

    This isn’t “most Americans”. It’s a passionate minority that is ruling over the majority because of a broken system.

    Comment 2: IDK why folks seem to think most Americans aren’t supportive of him, they are. If they weren’t they’d be doing something about it. I’m surrounded by majority Republican voters and they love what trump is doing. They rub it in to me all the time. Let’s face it, us Americans are vile selfish people.
