71 million voted for Trump
There are ~250 million eligible voters
There are ~328 million Americans total

Meaning 28% of voters and only 1 in 5 Americans voted for him, not half the country

Stop saying half the country and correct anyone who does

I forgot to up date my numbers, with current totals Trump has ~73 million and Biden has ~78.7

Meaning
31.5% of voting age Americans voted for Biden and 29% for Trump

Framing either as having half the country behind them is bad math

I hope the media interviews the large percentage of non voters with the same passion it interviewed Trump voters in diners for the last 5 years

Was it voter suppression? Apathy? Lack of access to information? Etc....
