>45% of the population

It's really not almost half of our total population, if you take into account how few people voted (the US population is about 330 million, and only 66% of the 240 million eligible actually voted) and how many of those voted republican (chump got 74,223,975 votes).

So.... About 25% of the population actually voted republican in 2020. They're just very loud about their views. I guess there are people who are MAGAs who didn't vote, so there might be more than 25% of the population who lean that way, but I really don't think almost half the country does.

Note - I'm extremely tired so my numbers might be off, but that's the number I keep running across.
