    On 25 June 2018, a Russian mining company named Uralasbest, which is one of the world’s largest producers of asbestos, posted a message of support for President Trump on their official Facebook and VK (a Russian version of Facebook) pages. The post included photographs of packed asbestos material adorned with the face of Trump and the text "Approved by Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States.

    At this point the only people who seem to think he isn’t a Russian asset are the ones in Congress. Personally I would love Congress to finally just start calling him out on all his constant bull shit. Which they have started, but it needs to be ramped up considerably. There is so much material, if the Republicans were in the Democrats shoes they would never stop screaming about all this crap, yet for the first they wouldn’t need to lie.

    I agree, those numbers are the complete population, (not only eligible voters) that’s why I added the statement “Keep in mind that these are raw numbers that include everyone, including non-voters like children and felons.”

    In my lifetime I haven’t known many people that would be considered left leaning that vote, yet I’m pretty sure everyone I’ve known who are conservative vote every chance they get.

    I should also point out that my view comes from someone who only ever lived in vary conservative areas in the south. Hopefully this election will finally get the left out to vote more.

    Plus ineligible and disenfranchised voters still have a voice and they still matter, hopefully many of them will use their voice as protests are dramatically on the rise now that people are starting to take a financial hit.

    So with my experience (which is subjective) the voting numbers definitely don’t represent the whole story because so many people don’t vote and many more can’t vote, so that is why the raw numbers give me some hope.

    At this point we already know they have “frontotemporal dementia,” so my question is at what point do we bar them from government positions because of known brain damage?

    Maybe they already read the article, and that’s why they hate science, knowledge and free speach so much? I think it goes way deeper then that though.

    Hopefully if we come out of this alive we’ll come together and finally do something about the things we already know, and I’m not talking final solution, I’m talking about banning people with known brain damage from office, then helping them with their known problems and possibly allowing them government positions again once recovered from this nazi disease.

    Just putting this out there because these numbers give me hope that we still have a chance to move past this. Keep in mind that these are raw numbers that include everyone, including non-voters like children and felons. still makes me hopeful though.

    Number of U.S. population 2025 = 347,276,000

    Number of votes for Trump = 77,284,118

    Number of people who didn’t vote for Trump = 269,991.882

    This translates close to 22.2543793% of the U.S. population voted for Donald Trump.

    This also translates close to 77.7456207% of the U.S. population didn’t vote for Donald Trump.

    I was the one who did the calculations… sooo maybe check my work, it’s been a long time since I had to deal with percentages, I think it’s correct though.

    Good luck, and stay safe out there.
