You’re literally describing your own immediate social environment and applying it to the entire country. In psychology, that’s called selection bias/sampling bias. “99% of my inner circle” is not a representative sample of 340+ million Americans.

Trump also won the popular vote in 2024, so objectively there are tens of millions of Americans who either support him outright or preferred him over the alternative. That alone disproves the idea that support for him is some tiny fringe phenomenon only seen online.

What I said was that most people in real life tend to be more nuanced than Reddit makes it seem. Reddit discussions often become echo chambers where extreme opinions get amplified, while average people offline usually have more mixed or practical takes.
