...rather than mute it with justifications.

The idea that voting is an affirmative act persists in spite of that not being true for *a large majority* of USians. This is useful to the political class, because it let's them redirect our anger at our neighbors, rather than at the people who deserve to feel it: them.

How many people voted *for* Trump, and how many votes for Trump were people voting *against* the political system/class? We may never know. The answer is too dangerous.
