We both know this is an imperfect statement without getting into a lecture about representative democracy or voting modalities.

Americans have been all for this the last couple of rounds as well.
This is muddying with jargon. You're insisting on nuance where there is none: Trump won emphatically, and the campaign couldn't have been clearer about what MAGA intended to do in power.
The combined margin in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania (which could combine to flip the election) was about 250,000 votes. That's not all that emphatic.
Nope, I will not get myself dragged into this mud, except maybe to say that by the numbers, "not voting" won.
As I recall, Trump specifically campaign on the promise of no more wars.
Trump won the electoral vote [edit: and the popular vote]
That’s the one that governs, but in 2024 he also won the popular vote.
I guess we'll forever wonder how much of the lack of turnout was due to backing the wrong party outside a swing state.
