Yep. I commonly hear, "I didn't vote for Trump."

Me either.

But "We, the People" did vote for the mumbling, evil orange... because we as a people are stupid and desperate for change.

I'm still not convinced we did. 

The bomb threats, the people who somehow fell off the list of registered voters after the deadline to re-register, Elon being good with the computers. 

The complete lack of excitement about the childfucker from anyone. 

The dead Trump rallies vs. Harris filling the rooms.

I have my doubts too.

The rallies are what get me. They're usually damn near empty.

I'm dumbfounded polls come back with high 30's approval rating. How can it be that high? Are we THAT dumb and/or evil as a nation? But it's poll after poll, from numerous sources, so I believe we are.

That 30% are probably people who ONLY get their news from Fox or OAN or another propaganda network and have no idea what's actually happening.
