Why did Donald trump get elected president a second time around?

What does it say about us as a country to elect him into office and his cabinet?

Well when you have millions of voters, you're going to have millions of reasons.

Personally, I look at the bigger picture and see how all over the world, incumbent parties and politicians have been losing elections and seats in the aftermath of COVID at historic rates. Something like 4 out of 5 democratic elections held since 2021 have seen the incumbent lose power, which has never been seen before.

Economies all over the world have been plagued with inflation. People have experienced a lot more social isolation. Internet misinformation was rampant. It seems to me that there is just so much negative human emotions spiraling into hopelessness and people were desperate for change.

I think people are trying to make it more ideological than it really is, because his opponent got almost the same amount of votes, only off by 1.5%. I'd say that it's more realistic that the majority of people were hoping Trump could do something to curb high gas and grocery prices.
Because he got all of his supporters out, but people opposed to him who never thought he'd be elected either didn't vote or thought "protest votes" were somehow brilliant.

Many who stayed home or "protest" voted are having people who look like them picked upn detained, deported, as DJT et al. do exactly what they said...

Because America was fed up with foreign wars, illegal immigration and debt which is out of control. Fed up with all the destruction caused by leftist climate cultism, medical tyranny and the woke American hating politics of the left.

Trump has made huge strides in getting rid of illegal aliens and securing the border but has failed in most every other area I mentioned above. He is continuing to fund endless foreign wars and moving us closer to the full implementation of the digital police state.

Trump Derangement Syndrome and Trump Sycophant Syndrome are two equally dangerous factions. We are in dangerous times and most people who concentrate on hating Donald Trump for all the wrong reasons are just as dangerous as those who give him a pass on everything.

@therighttothink50 Trump hasn't even been in office for a full 6 months. In that time, the surge of investment in America and the largest tax cut in history can't be ignored. The efforts to uncover waste and fraud are important to American taxpayers. The fact that only 2 genders are acknowledged means something to Americans.
Like Marx said, the forces of capital always consolidate around Authoritarianism. That's why as soon as Fascism became mainstream in America, all of the billionaire globalists came together to get Trump elected.

It says that Democrats were ruining the country and the American people felt the need to do something about it.

That people are so desperate to believe what they want to be true that they will ignore even the most obvious realities before them.
