MODERATORS
Inaction is an action. The majority are ok with this, otherwise they would have voted.
Given that he campaigned claiming he wouldn't be enacting Project 2025 (even though it was obvious he would be), I don't think you can claim people not voting are automatically okay with him breaking that very explicit promise.
No. Americans do not want this. Americans especially didn't want it done by some nutjob private citizen who has zero authority to do what he's doing, and no oversight.
Then they would've voted.
By not voting they are saying they are ok with either option.
That's how democracy works. Voters can bury their heads in the sand, it doesn't make the politicians go away.
