The people did vote. They voted trump out of office. If you're talking about the upcoming election, well that's still months away, so you have no idea what the turnout will be like.

His point about the nazis not disappearing after the election is a tremendous problem that's not going to go away. We need to figure out the root causes of it and address it properly. Hint: it's establishment corruption taking too much too quickly.
