If you go look at the data and consider that ~34% of people didn’t vote, somewhere around ~35% of people voted for trump, and a little less than that voted for harris.

This whole notion where “half the country voted for this guy!” Is a tired and inaccurate trope.

There are so many things I don’t like about him but some of his policies such as immigration / border enforcement, natural resource utilization, federal workforce reduction, regulatory reduction and tariffs are absolutely legit imho and will take time to have an affect.
