The problem here is that no matter how much you hate Trump and his grift policies are you really ready to suggest that just under half of your voting age adults nationwide all have the same (low) intelligence? That would not seem to reflect well on your compatriots either when you calculate averages, means and medians.
As of the 2020 election, 29% of registered voters identified as Republican. (33% are democrats and 34% independent who predominantly vote one way or the other.)
Further, only 60% of eligible voters actually voted.
Oh, this is just people that are registered as republicans. Arguably a better metric of actual supporters, rather than just plain votes, as those include a lot of strategic votes from people that don’t really like either, but just settle for whatever they think of as the lesser evil. But even using registered people is a bit iffy, because not all necessarily need to like the given candidate, just food for thought.
And since ya asked, here’s the same math with votes. The 2020 election final round turnout was 66.6% and 46.8% voted Trump, that means 31.1%. And for Biden, 51.3%, so that would be 34.1%. I’m using Wikipedia’s numbers btw.

One of my favorite George Carlin quotes:
Sir. I think you forget where you are. This is the internet.
While this is true, I think you forgot to say yes. Just fucking talk to 3 people.

The average person is dumb. But not that dumb.
This! And 29% of 60% is 17.4%. I’d say there’s plenty of room for all the dumb people there. And just for completion, 19.8% for democrats.
It’s actually kind of frightening how republicans have that much power with that little actual support.
The 40% that aren’t registered could practically create their own party and dominate. (Well, if they were a cohesive group.)
Did not almost 50% of the 60% that voted vote Trump? I was under the impression that the overall vote count was reasonably close.
Keep in mind many districts are gerrymandered to hell and back. Biden had 51% of the popular vote where Trump had 46%.
Which, for the record is nearly 17, 18, million people?
