It was so shocking when he won. We really didn't know how racist and sexist Americans could be when given the choice.

I do blame the Democratic establishment to a large degree for offering hurting Americans literally nothing, but I didn't think they'd choose... that, over nothing.

The nicest thing I can say about it is at least it shows Americans want radical change.

    America is built on white supremacy from its founding. The whole world just fell for American exceptionalism propaganda.

    But with that said, people tried kind, left-wing populism first with Bernie. That was blocked (random source, sorry if it sucks). Right-wing populism is beneficial to the oligarchs who own both political parties, so Trump wasn't blocked.

    We really didn’t know how racist and sexist Americans could be when given the choice.

    That's really the crux of it all isn't it? When given a Presidential Candidate who was overtly racist, hateful, made fun of disabled people, immigrants, and punching down at every mariginalized group in North America and the majority of the American people literally watched that and said "I'm either okay with this, or excited about it" really shows how Americans as a people are. They were just a bunch of racist, hateful people the whole time until Trump gave them the avenue to be their true selves.
