They’re indeed bad - REALLY bad - but overstating Trump’s support isn’t helpful. 77 million out of roughly 174 million eligible voters, or about 44%, chose fascism, NOT a majority.
That distinction is irrelevant in just about every conceivable way. No one rational should be comforted by the clarification that only 77 million of their neighbors are fascists.
What then is your intent when insisting on making the distinction between a majority of voters and a plurality of voters? It appears to me to be an attempt at making this seem like less of a problem than it is, especially when the plurality is as close to the same number as a majority is in this case.

I’m not sure where you got “comforted” from this.

All the ones not voting chose not to stop fascism.
You’re right. But apathy is apathy, not support.
