Way more people didn't vote, and not voting against Trump is just as bad as voting for him.

There are many reasons why people didn't vote, and it's not all because they sat out the election. Minors can't vote. Felons can't vote. Non-citizens can't vote. Those three groups of people comprise a substantial proportion of the total population. About half the country wasn't registered to vote.

If GP had written "22% of the eligible voting population" or "22% of registered voters" hadn't voted for Trump, those would be more meaningful facts.
