The majority did. That’s how democracy works; you take responsibility for the elected government, regardless of your personal opinion.

It was a slim majority of those who actually voted, so less than half of eligible voters. There are many, many people who are not happy with how things are going.

well, meny did not choose democracy in the first place, it's "inherited". and even if they choosen, did not choose the FPP voting system. even if they accepted FPP, can not express weighted favor to individual policies of either of the total sum of 2 parties programm. and even if one fully agreed on a party's program at election time, there is no mechanism to express loss of confidentality (from the general public's side), kinda "un-vote", during reign. you are not responsible for something you have no control over. or other words: you have as much responsibility over something as much control you have over it. so no, average Joe is so far removed from the executive and legistlative powers that he must not be considered responsible for them.

Trump won the plurality, not the majority.
