2024 Election

Here are some stats along with a bit of arithmetic:

77 million Americans voted for Trump in 2024.
340 million = Total US population in 2024.
262 million = Voting age population of the US (2023).
(https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/03/29/2024-06666/estimates-of-the-voting-age-population-for-2023)

• % of American citizens who voted for Trump: 77÷340 < 23%.

• % of voting age Americans who voted for Trump: 77÷262 < 30%.

In the 2024 presidential election,
73.6% (174 million people) of citizen voting-age population registered to vote,
65.3% (154 million people) voted.
(https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025/2024-presidential-election-voting-registration-tables.html)

• % of voting age Americans registered to vote who voted for Trump: 77÷174 < 45%.

• % of voting Americans who voted for Trump: 77÷154 = 50%.

Looks like the US of A has a somewhat sick form of democracy; one might call it gerrymanderocracy, in which a minority and an aspiring tyrant king currently (2026) rule.
