    They were more than happy to have a very reasonable chance of having Trump in the office by choosing not to vote.

    Not as bad as voting for him but still not a great excuse.

    There’s also no reason to believe that 100% of those people would not vote for Trump. What is most likely is that the proposition would be roughly similar, maybe a bit lower

      You have no basis for that belief.

      That’s the point I’m trying to make clear: you don’t know why they didn’t vote.

      What is clear is that they didn’t vote. Which you’re… basically arguing doesn’t suggest apathy.

      In short we have no idea why they didn’t vote. Only that they didn’t vote; and that implies at least some apathy.
