I would include those who chose not to vote in the stupid portion of the country, about 2/3 of them.

262,083,034 Americans were voting age in 2024 as of last spring.

77 million voted Trump. 75 million or so voted Harris. And 140 million or so didn't vote at all.

So yes, about 217 million Americans either directly voted for this, or enabled it by not voting at all. So the percentage is actually even worse: 82% of voting age Americans.

This math is a bit wrong. 77+75-262=-110 Americans who didn’t vote. That would make it about 71% of eligible voters who voted for Trump or didn’t vote based on these loose numbers. This matches the math of 75/262 million which is .286 or 29% of eligible voters who voted for Harris.

Still, your point is valid. That’s a lot of people who didn’t vote against Trump.
