He got 75 million votes which is only like a quarter of the US population
You can certainly fault the non-voters for being apathetic but you can't say the majority supports him.

I think if you were apathetic enough to not vote against someone who was campaigning on being literally Hitler, you are a Trump supporter.They could have been apathetic bc they are ignorant. Most people don't follow politics daily. Your average CEman is significantly more invested in politics than the average American.

If non-voters didn't support Trump, they should have voted against him. By not doing so, it's an implicit support.
He doesn't represent the majority. He represents, at best, 1/3 of the population.
But when the rest of the people are a combination of being apathetic, unwilling to compromise so they can unite against you, and in denial of what kind of things you will really do, that's enough to take control if you and your followers are dedicated enough.
The problem is what you think a majority is and what they think a majority is.
You both are probably wrong.
He didn't get a substantial outnumbering vote, but he did get the majority of the votes. 4 million is miniscule in comparison to the total number of people in the USA which is 330 million people.
To put that into perspective 4 million is literally 1.2%
1.2%
The idea that there is a HUGE mass more of people who like Trump is just false.
But yes, 1% is enough to make a majority.
51% vs 49%
But to think "omg guys we are 51% we outnumber them sooo much" is incorrect

He can honestly say the American people have given him a mandate for his agenda.Then the Democrats should treat Trump's agenda the same way Republicans treated Obama's after the 2008 election.
