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
