An unfortunate amount of Americans would legitimately rather a rapist pedophile as president instead of a woman.

We all know that, it's baffling they tried running with a women again. The society clearly got even more sexists since Hillary.

I think more than anything it was complacency, they wrongly assumed (as did a lot of people) that Trump was seen as such a joke that he didn’t stand a remote chance of winning again. I saw it the same way up until Election Day, cause it seemed genuinely unfathomable that any country could elect such a monster AGAIN.
