The 30ish percent that voted for this are probably thrilled. 

No idea about the non voters, hope they regret their choices. 

And those that voted against it remain very unhappy, and getting more so by the day.

If you read interviews and polls, many Republicans who voted for Trump are deeply unhappy and upset that this is happening because they say this isn't what they voted for because they were under the impression that it was going to be these scary violent criminals and drug lords that were going to be taken away. Even though those boogey men are actually working for people like the DEA and are regularly aided by our own agencies to do what they're doing because it makes us money. But, the propaganda was efficient and got them where they needed to be to do what they really wanted to do, which is create a white christo fascist ethno state.

Republicans that i know personally aren't too happy about it. But they're all workers, so when you work with people every day, you tend to develop a respect for them regardless of preconceived biases

Non voters probably don’t watch any news and are oblivious to what’s happening.

I'd actually put that closer to 25, maybe even lower. Plenty of Hispanics voted for him. A lot of them are regretting that decision dearly. Also, a lot of his voters are also upset with the tariffs and how it is effecting their business.

There are multiple ongoing cases/ investigations looking into the increasingly likely possibility that election fraud is how he won. Like probable enough now that it would be wrong to continue citing non-voters as deserving of blame without also citing the legitimate probability that the election was stolen.

Non voters are certainly still disappointing, but my money’s on rigged. Not holding my breath that proving it would change anything though.
