Ain't nuthin mer' merica' than ah' chest fulla coal dust , boy and that man stackin' cinders ya herrr'?

I'm sorry I just made that up.

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

In an American, and I’m just as baffled as you.

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...

It's not difficult to understand.

Democratic strategist James Carville said it best.

The lights are on but no one is home

Did, you, prefer, Biden ?

What made you elect modi?

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

Low voter turnout.

Kamala never wanted the job

One word: Biden
Two Words: Biden, Harris.
Two more words: Open borders
Six words (only initials provided): DEI and ESG

It's who they are.

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

Too many things to list but he was the lesser of two evils fyi

You didn't see how terrible the democrat party was at running the country?

Trump is very skilled at spreading lies and hatred while playing the victim.

We were tired of the corrupt democrats and select rinos

Needed someone to run the crooks out of DC. So nothing is wrong with the voters.
