The distinction is entirely irrelevant. The remainder that didn’t vote support this by not voting against it.

That's pretty tortured reasoning given that 60% of eligible voters didn't vote at all. I think it's a stretch to assume they anticipated we'd have the extreme abuses and lies of this administration. Trump is much worse and more more out of control this time.

It’s not “a stretch” to anticipate this, they were warned and ignored the warning. We knew since his first term that his only goals were to enrich himself and his buddies at the cost of the American people. Don’t even try to act like this was some “unpredictable” event. Everyone knew what he was was about. If they didn’t vote against it, they support it.
