Yes, because he won the electoral college. And he won the electoral college because stupid/short-sighted people in battleground/purple states either saw some value in him, thought Clinton was despicable enough to vote against, or decided it wasn't worth voting at all.

That's how they're both true at the same time.

The majority of the U.S. voting-age populace does not vote and is politically apathetic. I consider that to be stupid and short-sighted, it's also separate from the EC being a degenerate system designed by slaveholders because while that system sucks, if those non-voters would get the fuck over themselves then it would become less relevant as voters in battleground/purple states would be more engaged and thus mitigate Republican fuckery.

And how many of those people you wrote off as shortsighted and stupid would have voted if they weren't being suppressed either directly or indirectly (not having time off work/out of their day to vote)? You are saying exactly what Republicans want you to in regards to people who don't vote. Obviously some of them are just stupid, but you erased everyone who isn't.
