At Least half of us are basically watching in horror from inside.
At least - no, in that case it wouldn't have happened. At most half. I'd say it's way below half.
Less than 50% of voters voted Trump.
I'm saying if at least half the population was horrified they'd have voted. The people that didn't vote are apathetic. You can't subtract people who voted for him from total and group them as against him
You can when there have been several news stories about groups who abstained or chose to vote 3rd party deeply regretting their choice.
Voters who (to add to your point), don't represent half the country, because 90 million out of 240 million voters didn't vote at all. I think the number of non-voters went up a bit but not too far away from the average pres. election
