Bruh, u.s. population is 340 million, move goalposts much. You said he has majority support, he'snever broken 50% in polls of voters even. And he wasn't even close to a high margin in the popular vote, one of the narrowest elections in modern history.

You talk about moving goal posts? A majority out of those interested in politics and who vote. If he didn't have a majority of the electorate backing him he wouldn't have been president. Those who don't vote don't count. You only have a say in things to the extent you care even to show up at the ballot box. 

He got elected president twice. Fucking twice and you say he doesn't have a majority? Look at the senate and the house of representatives mister goal posts. The MAGA party controls both, MAGA has majority in the senate and the house of representatives. 

I couldn't give a damn about Trump or MAGA, I hate them with a passion but I hate deeply when I see people bitch and moan about a legitimate, democratically elected president and government. That's what those who vote in the US have decided. You lost fair and square. 

And thank to God that more people haven't shown themselves to the polls, usually those who don't show to the polls or don't care at all about politics are much more likely to vote for a demagogue out of the ordinary politician than for a corporate democrat. Actually because of these corporate politicians people become disinterested in politics in the first place.

He has never had 50% approval in polling, of voters. People win without even getting more popular votes than the loser.....

Public demonstrations of dissatisfaction with the regime and widespread disobedience definitely do help in establishing conditions for a potential replacement of the above mentioned tyranical goverment, given that the external circumstances allow for it. This is what's forgotten in here. You're not actually overthrowing the goverment, you are just setting up conditions for it to be eventually possible, but that opportunity has to come. Sure, regime popularity matters but unpopular regimes can last for a very long time. Needless to say, this topic a bit of a copium
