Sat it out, or were forced out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_efforts_to_restrict...

If those who sat out were forced to vote for one of the two major party candidates, Trump’s margin may have been larger.

I think liberals and progressives have a higher propensity to vote, so you can’t assume the non voters are less likely to lean Trump.

There's no one to blame but the left. The worst candidate in american history and somehow they still lost?

So 164,339,764 made it happen?

I don’t like any direction this administration has taken, but acting like it’s not the completely legitimate will of the people is BS.
