    Given the levels of alarm that were being raised by the media and politicians across the aisle, I doubt people were too apathic to vote. It’s hard to feel like that when every person on your screens tells you that Trump is a fascist threat to democracy. It’s more likely that so many people​ sat out because they didn’t like the direction that both parties were taking. Less “I don’t care,” more “I can’t support either side.”
