Think about how stupid the average peson is, then try to remember that half of people are even stupider than that. Now it should make at least a little sense...

They weren't fooled. He's the most omnipresent person in the world due to media and memes. Everyone knows what he stands for and they voted for it accordingly. Don't make excuses for MAGA asshats. They aren't victims.

They blindly consumed what the media sold them and a lot of outlets are really selective with what they report on.

Out of curiosity now when I'm on Google News and see a story that has no possible way to spin it in favor of the GOP... I click all reporting and look for Fox News and it is NEVER there.

The layer in the fact that many of those people do not give even the slightest of shits about things that happen to other people, or things that aren't immediately in front of them. So even if doing something causes harm in the long term, even if the harm is done to them directly at that point, they won't notice.

America has a much bigger problem with racism and sexism than it would like to admit. And I don't know when its gonna get addressed

People came out in droves to vote for grandpa Biden but when it came to the woman of color? Not so much. She laughed, etc.

Anyone that didn't vote Trump and also didn't vote for his only viable opponent were fooled. Non-voters are as complicit in getting him elected, even if they disagree with him.

This. If all you see is conservative media all you're gonna see is that Trump is going to save us from everything. Biden destroyed the economy and our international reputation and Trump is going to do... something that will fix all of that. And even non-conservative media was usually pretty soft on him because he is the greatest headline generator of our age and there's no one holding the media responsible for what they say.

Plus even some leftwing media is owned by right wingers. A newspaper in California was going to endorse Kamala Harris but the owner shut that down

wrong premise

How were so many registered voters fooled into not voting. How were so many eligible voters fooled into keeping quiet about how hard it is to register to vote?

Actually you don't want more nonvoters voting:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/cf666417.jpg

When asked how they would have voted, people eligible to vote who did not do so were fairly evenly split in their preferences: 44% said they would have supported Trump, while 40% said they would have backed Harris.

Because the American blood is full of hate. Hate of blacks, hate of browns, hate of Asians, hate of gays, hate of trans, hate of non-Christians, hate of women, hate of native Americans, hate of everything.

Americans would gladly, gladly shoot ourselves in the head before we give a person of color a piece of bread. Not me, probably not any other American here but the general population? You bet. This country is beyond greedy and hateful.

This. People generally do not like to be proven wrong, especially by people they see inferior such as liberals and minorities. Even when proven wrong, voters are willing to double down even if it personally hurts them because they enjoy that their power brings anger and disenfranchisement upon others.

Demographic decline has underpinned a fallout of the basis of globalized economics only propped up by inflationary aspects of various financial institutions and markets. Modern liberalism literally requires the growth of capitalism to fund its various projects. This is causing the nuanced liberalism to fall on its face as it can't math its way through issues without admitting some fairly harsh economic realities to constituents. As others have stated, average human IQ isn't high enough to understand any of this and people work completely off vibes for economic and political choices. Trump promised the world and told them that they did everything right, it was just a series of great "others" that was the cause of their problems. TLDR Capitalism is in the early stages of a massive correction, people are genetically too stupid to understand any of this and will vote for whatever person promises them something better.
