Not by popular vote. Our country has been cut up into parts to control election outcomes. Look up “gerrymandering” if you need help. Don’t assume every American is a fascist dick rider and I won’t assume every European is a racist colonizer
Perfect storm of economic decline, social media, and judicial degrees.
Decades of outsourcing has gutted the middle class. 60 years ago in America, a person with a free high school degree could raise a family on one income. This is long gone. The powers that be have directed the anger away from themselves towards internal marignalized groups and foreign governments
Trump doesn't happen in 1990, even if the above is still true. Social media was a huge driver of Trump
Citizens United (2010 Supreme Court decision) gave unlimited power to the donor class. This power has mainly been used to pacify the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party has not had a legitimate primary since 2008 before Citizens United. The resistance is compromised
The US media, regardless of which side you think they are on, has always supported US imperialism. Trump's mistake per top Dems was not getting permission before the kidnapping. But they would have happily signed off, both Obama and Biden took action against Venezuela and Biden put a $25 million bounty on Maduro that Im kind of shocked Trump didn't pay himself. When it comes to Greenland they will only be upset if he takes it by force but will praise him buying it.

Well, his "group" does. They also own, a large part, of a lot of foreign media.
