    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.

      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%.

    ALL Trump supporters are a threat to democracy. Because TRUMP IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY.
