I mean not voting is often/in many places the most popular American presidential candidate, obviously not just because plenty are stupid or apathetic, but also because it's been made pretty hard to vote in many places.
It's more accurate to say that the majority didn't (manage to) vote against him. So the conclusion is more like the majority didn't care enough to prevent this, instead of the majority wanted this.
To you it might feel no different but seen from the outside it very much is different. The consequences are still bad, but your consequence shouldn't be resignation, Americas citizens failed themselves sure but they aren't overwhelmingly monsters.
With the amount of fuckery in terms of media and the whole election process in the US this is a more fair assesment.
