I don't at all agree. It's lazy ass dumbasses that don't vote that are the real threat to democracy. By all measures white rural Trump voters are a minority, and even by electoral votes (dumb system) they have no shot of ever electing anyone. If it weren't for the fact that 40% of all eligible voters just fucking don't vote.
I mean…both concepts aren’t mutually exclusive.
Tell that to the Russian bot campaign that’s here convincing these dumbasses that there’s an actual reason to not vote.
Of course a % of the 40% who don't vote. Would vote trump if they did.
As you can assume trump running is not a reason for them to vote in itself.
There is 0 evidence to support the idea. That less of the 40% of non voters would vote trump. Then the other 60%.
