    Where on earth are you getting 40% from? That’s an insanely high, entirely made up statistic.

    Only around 32% of elligable voters voted Trump in 2024.

    His approval rating has dramatically nose-dived since then.

    Edit: Here’s a chart that comes in even lower from AP News.

    Edit 2: The final tally according to CNN was 75 million for Kamala and 77 million for Trump.

    US news estimates around 90 million elligable voters did not vote.

    So… Here’s a new chart with the most reputable data.

    31.8% of Americans that were elligable to vote supported him at one point. And now, let’s take a look at his current approval ratings:

    This is a gross generalization. It’s like aliens looking down on earth and saying “we really have to do something about these humans.”

    Like, sure. We, as a species, might have earned that… But, is it all humans?

    The right shift in power across nations could solve this. It starts with people acknowledging that the real issue is rogue governments. Right now in the United States, our government is rogue.

    Random people born in Russia don’t want to kill Ukrainians any more than every American wants to kill random people in the Middle East. Our humanity is important, and where you’re born and live doesn’t dictate your loyalty to empowered dictators.

    The movement that needs to happen is one where the people rise up in all nations, and unite. It starts with language. America doesn’t need to be destroyed any more than Russia, but their governments require radical changes.
