The answer you're going to get depends entirely on the biases held by the people you ask, and likewise I have my own opinion. But rather than add more noise to an already cacophonous discussion, I'm going to share a few statistics that add some context to Trump's victory.
1) Trump had 4 years to campaign for President, while Harris only had 4 months. Despite that, Trump only got 1.5% more votes than she did.
2) More voting-eligible citizens chose to not vote at all in the 2024 election than to vote for Trump. When you take all of the adult population of America, less than 1/3 actually voted for him
3) In the aftermath of Covid-19, roughly 4 out of every 5 democratic elections around the world saw the incumbent politician or party lose in their presidential elections. That's a historically high level of government changeover that has never been seen before. The 2024 US election also followed that trend

I don't vote or involve myself in politics because I feel they are all corrupt elites telling lies to gain power over the masses. I try my best to see the good in everyone. It's an absolute mess and my heart cannot handle all the hurt and pain influcted by politicians. I know I should be more involved but I focus on my immediate community and trying my best to be a good human being. I struggle seeing others in pain so I enjoy my solitude as much as possible. Have a blessed day

@LegendofPeza I didn't really make many choices back then.

@LegendofPeza CBS, CNN and MSNBC are no better.

The sad reality is that the Democrats put forth a Black Woman as their Candidate after Biden resigned. There is no way that America was going to elect a Black Woman as President for a good long while to go still. Perhaps, and that's a BIG maybe, if she'd had more time to get her message and policies out, she might have won by a very slim margin, but I doubt it. If Biden had been capable, he might well have beaten tRump again...

@spjennifer it’s true and that’s a perfect example of gaslighting.

@BlueGreenGrey Quite the list of elitist excuses that basically assume anyone with different views is a lesser human than you are. Fact is that twice in the last 9 yrs more people chose Trump over crappy liberal candidates that were not seen as a better option.
Despite the attempts to take him out, he's still in the role. Your excuses dont change that .. now do they?

It's not difficult to understand.
Democratic strategist James Carville said it best.

Nothing. I was just making jest of his chatter-box communication style.
Years ago, a friend once attended a function where Carville was also in attendance. And at some point found himself standing next to Carville in the men's restroom, at the urinal, peeing. Even there, Carville was non-stop yapping about what a wonderful leader Bill Clinton was, through peeing, washing his hands, drying them. Non-stop :)
I love him anyway. Even from the opposite ends of the political polls, even as annoying as he can be. A colorful personality I could easily be friends with.

@laotzu92 so buzz words to invoke fear and anger with no basis in reality.

Well, the question need not be entirely on Americans. Right wing populism has taken off in a lot of other places

They had a very limited choice and were more worried about the alternative presumably.

@MasterLee No. Trump was caught telling about 70 times more lies during their debates.
