The Imperial Presidency

...  The fact that he was re-elected after his policies of tearing apart families and keeping children in cages and trying to overthrow the republic -- the fact of re-election itself -- means that a majority of the whole are evil.  Or were evil on at least one day last year. ...

I was going to say that it was a majority of voters who actually voted, but then I remembered an old quote:

Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.
– John Stuart Mill, inaugural address at the University of St. Andrews, 1867

So, yes, everybody who could have voted but didn't bother is as culpable as the people who voted for more of the evil.

I understand you have another vote coming up next November...
