minus-squareTar_Alcaran@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13arrow-down4·9 months ago Only 20% of Texans voted for Trump. 17.5 million people can potentially vote in Texas. 6.3 million voted Trump. 4.8 million voted against Trump. Leaving 6.4 million who are fine with Trump. So, 12.7 out of 17.5 are either supporters or totally OK with it. That’s 73% who didn’t want to oppose this. That still doesn’t mean the other 1 in 4 deserves this, of course. But the “20%” number is bullshit.
