    Why the pedantry?

    You’re misunderstanding my point. Don’t accidentally overrepresent and legitimize the Fascist Right by assuming that because 47% of people who voted wanted Trump, that 47% of the entire US wanted Trump. In reality US voter turn out is consistently dogshit and the huge political right-wing hubbub is driven by <20% of the actual population, who also somehow claim there’s some “silent majority” supporting them. (there’s not; those who don’t vote either don’t care or are intentionally suppressed/disenfranchised by, you guess it, the same fascist right!)

    They must be painted as the weird, fringe crazy pots that they are. There is no helping that camp.
