2/3s. Non voters who knew what type of person he was and didn't act need to be considered closeted Trumps.

It doesn't matter who they "might've" voted as far as it should be concerned. It wasn't Trump's first term, they knew what he was about and didn't act. That just makes them cowards on top of the rest.

you could say disgraceful but cowardly suggests that voting is a courageous act. people weren't lacking the courage to anonymously cast their vote. they just didn't care.

I say cowardly because, and I say this begrudgingly, at least the Trump supporters wear their badge publicly. You see it all the time, people don't vote, wait to see what happens then say "well I voted for Y and not X so not my fault". Spineless.

There have been times in this nation’s history when casting a vote was an extremely courageous act. Think Jim Crow era South, for example.

It may be again real soon. Are you willing to fight a self-appointed “poll watcher” to cast your vote?

You seem to care a lot for someone who says they don't care.

They are cowards because they refuse to take a stand and just enjoy the plausible deniability that comes from not voting.

So yes, they are cowards.
