But whatever, MAGA and all that.
Your nation was divided under Obama, under Bush and so on.

We all know Trump is an idiot, incompetent and an oaf. But the country was divided when they voted for him. But he came up with policies that appealed to the Nation. Less migration, less illegal migration, more sales in China, bring jobs back to the Mid-West, rebuilding infrastructure, NATO countries paying more. He also had some pretty bad ones. Healthcare, climate change, tax cuts, etc.

He was also an outsider. After decades of getting poorer people are disillusioned in politicians. Hillary promised more of the same. Democrats couldn't find a candidate who appealed to Americans more than Trump!!!

You can have 50% of your voting base hating you. Just get the 1% on your side to get you elected.

And yes it's much worse in Europe with more and more switching to the only alternative, the Far Right. The liberals in the UK are now crying over teens who though able to walk from the ME and Asia and through many safe countries. Now in the UK they need special treatment rather than give it to British citizens.
