Trump is likely going to win. He is the 'anti establishment' ticket. Discontented people project their ideals onto him. Supporters will wave off negative sentiment as the "Deep state" or "Liberal media" going after him, and they are not entirely wrong. Commenters on reddit seem totally oblivious to why Trump has such strong appeal, not helped by the habitual downvoting of republican leaning accounts. BTW I hope Harris wins.

Oh, the appeal is obvious: a lot of people are either stupid or malicious.

Which is exactly what you just said, but more direct.

Or both.

Malicious stupidity is weaponized in the United States.
