It continues to amaze me how dumb half of America is.

Truly don't think it's half. It's just the way our elections and voting works. Every the stupid minority has a loud voice when we weigh votes instead of simply going for popular votes overall.

The second best result ever in terms of popular vote was Trump 2020, only behind Biden 2020. So it is close enough to half of America.
