LP, I'm sure I could find out, but I don't know what % of the US population vote, and I don't know the demographic breakdown of that %. I maintain my previous position that Trump is not the disease, he is the symptom. He is what gets vomited up when people feel they've been sold out and left for dead. The system has been like a giant box of tinder for decades - whether Trump lights the match remains to be seen.
At any rate, I'm trying to talk about oceans, and everyone else seems focussed on puddles. Neither party will do anything about the NRA, or military spending, or environmental policy, or the religious right, or the widening gap between rich and poor..............I could go on. I would say most of us, but certainly the Yanks, are a population distracted from the impoverishment of their existence by a continuous cycle of production and consumption, whether in material terms (junk food, guns etc. ) or in social terms (Hollywood BS propaganda, education, pseudo cultural wars, biblical literalism etc.)
