This argument was persuasive when Trump lost the popular vote and still became president due to the election system being ridiculous, but not now that's he's got far more support than Harris. It's time you faced that most of the USA is actually fine with Trump's fascism.
By “popular vote,” you mean the % of people who voted. I’m talking about the country overall. Which includes people who didn’t get off work, have a handful of understaffed polling places, no good public transportation to get them to polling places, imprisoned people, people screwed my voter registration laws, etc. and that’s not even counting people too young to vote.
Your view only makes sense if you ignore literally everything about the broken US electoral system and all the other systems that touch it.
All these people made to to vote four years ago. Don't tell me situation got so much worse under Biden. You're just looking for excuses.
Oh so the turnout last time was 100%? I guess someone should go fix the data then.
