52% of the Americans that voted, which wasn’t remotely close to 52% of America’s population. We are still dumb idiots for letting this happen.

Well said the 52% who voted won, so I guess the ones who chose not to got what they deserve. I swear to God these people are brain dead.

Trump got 49.8% of the vote. What is this 52% number? He did not win by majority. It's weird how many Americans think Trump got over 50%.

The election was called early when 100% of the vote wasn't counted yet and Trump had about 52% of the vote at the time. When all was said and done it came out eventually to 49.8%. Sadly the rightwing media, MAGA and Trump will continue to say he won in a landslide.

Yeah, everyone forgets to wait for California's vote to be counted. Happens every time. I was correcting everyone at the time that the divide was going to get a lot smaller. Everyone was repeating that Trump was +15, +10, +6, etc. It ended up at Trump +1.5 lol
