How is it a minority when 48% of voters elected him a few months ago?

[freddyc]

That is quite literally the definition of a minority :)

Seriously though, I take your point and this is a reminder that if we ignore vocal minorities spouting hate, eventually they may grow big enough to take control. If you see this type of behavior in your own backyard then please vote even if you don't think it will matter.

"vocal minorities spouting hate" tend to win, as they are more than willing to do anything to get their way.

Remember Hitler and his gangs?

I won't be surprised if a new executive order orders muslims to a camp nearest to them.

God help America!

"Voters" is the important distinction. 26.3% of "Eligible Voters" elected him.

If you don't vote you're just as responsible for any unwanted outcome as the ones that did vote.

63 million people voted for Donald Trump. That's 20 percent of Americans.

[jmcgough]

Because the majority voted for Clinton.

[grzm]

Just a plurality: Clinton received the most votes of any one candidate. Not a majority (over 50%).

Where are you getting that figure?
