The percent of Americans over 18 that voted for Trump in 2016 was 25%. Yes, there's brain rot, but it's nowhere near what the rest of the world is picturing in their heads.
The larger issue here is voter turnout. 45% of our country refused to vote that same year. These people aren't necessarily stupid, they just don't give a shit. I'd call that selfishness, personally.
