No, the majority of white people and the majority of people who voted voted for Trump. That is a big difference. As much as some liberals want to say "Not voting is the same as voting for Trump", that is not true.
Weird focus on white people if it adds nothing to your point.
Not voting is certainly not an indication that they didn't want trump and when dealing with a far right fascist, that is interesting. But we all can have some copium, so that we don't need to accept that a shocking amount of people are dumb as rocks and that consequently they don't quite care about stuff like due process, and don't mind a fascist Leader.
At some point, we need to accept that currently the general public is conservative because they know the old ways and care too little to learn the new ones but get scared of change.
If the shoe fits, wear it. It's weird that you think my comment "focused" on white people, and also weird that you're trying to blame all Americans when Republicans are 90% white and the only group that the majority of which ever voted for Republicans.
Republicans are a white problem. There is no other way to put it. Sorry I'm not sorry if you're unused to being talked about collectively., but not doing so is burying the lede. Every time you said "people", it would be more accurate if you said "white people", but you don't even understand why you don't do that.
