You're right, Trump is a convicted felon. And the American people still chose him over Kamala, and Biden for that matter. What does that tell you about how bad they are?

Biden was not the Democratic candidate for President.

Yes he was, until Trump beat him so bad in a debate that Biden's own party forced him to withdraw his candidacy. Thus, Trump effectively beat him by forcing him to withdraw, then beat Kamala in the election. A twofer you might say.
I prefer people who can state facts. Harris lost to Trump.

Now this one he might be able to pull off, as he's surrounded himself with people who will try to figure out how to make his wishes come true. Of course, with the 2026 congressional election season coming up it may not be politically wise to do so. Despite his "mandate" from the election, you have a LOT of local state push back from women and such.
Time will tell.

It tells me they don't care about anything except themselves.

And I prefer people who can own up to reality. Biden bombed so bad at the debate, despite Dem assurances that he was "smart as a tac," that his OWN PARTY forced him out. Harris was Plan B, and she went down in flames in the election. Two LOSERS for the price of one! What a deal!

The majority of Americans don't care about anything but themselves? Do you live in a bubble or something? Try talking to regular, hard working people. They have families and friends that they care about. Get a clue.

Unfortunately true. Most don't choose to serve in the military, police, or other public service. Most voted primarily on the economy. Being "regular, hard working people" doesn't mean they are selfish and thinking only of the present and not the future for their own kids.
Why Trump won — 9 takeaways from the 2024 election
1. The issue landscape favored Republicans from the start.
For two years, voters have been in a bitter mood about the economy and upset about high border crossings.Despite economic improvements — unemployment is low, wages are up, inflation is down — Americans have continued to chafe at higher than pre-pandemic prices and the lack of affordable housing. Ironically, the Federal Reserve's inflation fix — raising interest rates — meant more expensive borrowing for things like mortgages and car loans. The Fed has started to cut rates, but it will take time for Americans to feel it — right in time for a Trump presidency.
Voters placed the blame squarely on the Biden administration — despite the U.S. recovering economically better than other developed countries after a pandemic that Americans felt Trump mishandled.

You clearly don't live in the real world. Get out of your bubble and go talk to regular people. People like those who grow the food you eat, or ship it to the supermarket for you, for example. Talk to them, and then tell me how "fucked in the head" they are. That's typical deranged leftist talk. If you're not going to do that, just shave your head and wear a blue bracelet so everyone knows you've lost it.

Then it tells you the wrong thing. Trump supporters want less crime, more secure borders, a more peaceful world, a more thriving economy, and government that is small, accountable, and stays out of their business, among other things.

More conservatives choose to serve in the military and police than liberals. That's because they unselfishly put family and country first, and desire a brighter future.

Selfishness and bigotry coupled with lackluster alternatives won the day.

Agreed. Did you serve? How long? I served for over 20. A family tradition. If you want to lie or run, I understand.
Notice how Trump lost favor with the military after he started shitting on Generals like Mattis, Kelley and McRaven.
