Summary

Fox News’s attempt to find support for Donald Trump in Greenland backfired, as most residents expressed disinterest in his proposals.

While one Trump supporter was found, the majority of Greenlanders interviewed criticized Trump’s comments and expressed a preference for remaining under Danish rule.

Despite these setbacks, Trump continues to advocate for acquiring Greenland, citing economic security concerns.

    Duh, that’s why I brought it up, not voting is a symptom not a cause.

      intentionally not voting when one can, is definitely a cause.

        No it’s an effect. Demoralized voters don’t vote because they don’t feel their vote matters and they’re not wrong. Like 50% of votes are in states where they’re meaningless.

          And how does not voting help that? And howd you get to 50%?

            Roughly half of American votes are cast in states where the majority is so overwhelming their vote is essentially worthless.

            Roughly half isn’t 50% anyway.

            Ed: you need more data to say they chose not to vote. We don’t actually know how many that is and it’s unlikely a full count will ever be known.

          Nope. If just an additional 1 out of every 15 people in Texas had voted for Harris, then Trump would have lost even Texas. The number of people in Texas who could have voted but did not vote far exceeds that number. The number of people in Texas who didn’t vote because they probably thought it wouldn’t matter was big enough to easily make the difference in who won the state. So even the state of Texas could have voted against Trump, if only enough people who could have voted actually did vote for Harris. And Texas is one of your “meaningless” states. Other states could have done this even more easily.

            Yes, the entire country is Texas. Forgive me I seem to remember like 50 or so states and several thousand counties.

            You don’t know that, not every rejection or disenfranchisement is logged and moreover a huge issue with disenfranchisement is that when is released lots of states do not tell the person that they again have voting rights. And still yet some states both refuse to tell you and force you to apply for restoration of rights.
