        No, 49% of people who actually voted. 66% of eligible voters voted in the 2020 election and it had the highest turnout in over 120 years.

        32% of eligible American voters voted for Trump in 2020. This “half of America supports Trump” saying needs to die. It’s just not true.

      Authoritarians are always 30-35% of a given population. The only way they get any power is for the rest of the population to fall asleep at the wheel.

      That’s what happened in 2016, if you look at what percentage of the “likely voters” actually vote, answer polls, ect., you’re going to end up at around 30% of America vote republican.

      In Nazi Germany 33% of the population put him in a position of power, and then they strong armed the rest of the government into copitulating control.

      Remember. Its always the weak and stupid motherfuckers who fuck everyone else over so vote so they never have control.

        You’re forgetting the other 30% that formed a voting bloc with them because they were scared the socialists might give poor people human rights.
