As for why Trump won, I honestly think it's much simpler than some here are making out.
It's obvious to anyone with a properly functioning brain that hasn't been melted by fox news that Trump is an idiot, a liar and a grifter.
The fact that millions of Americans don't realise this, and actually think he's some kind of genius just shows how monumentally stupid the average person is.
We have a similar situation in the UK with people backing Farage/Reform.
These politicians propose simple "solutions" to complex problems. And because your average person is a total MORON who can't absorb an answer that lasts more than 2 sentences, they go for the guy saying the simple thing that goes along with their in built bigotry.
These people weren't interested in politics beforehand, because it was complex and boring. But now there's some loud gobshite telling them that if they just get rid of the immigrants and the LGBT people then everything will be better. So now they're activated and caught up in a cult of personality.
The old political establishment meanwhile has spent decades working for business interests instead of making things better for workers and the general public, so enthusiasm for them is at an all time low.
The world is looking absolutely fucked right now, and I can't even escape to Europe easily because the Brexit mob fucked that up.
