Why Did So Many Americans Vote for Trump?

When Biden refused to answer a simple question, "would you pack the Supreme Court," that told me what kind of person he was.

A comment someone else wrote:
This opinion utterly misses the mark, and continues the patronizing assumption that anyone who voted for Trump or Republicans did so out of racism or ignorance. As seen by the down-ballot success of the Republicans, many voters simply do not agree with Democratic policies. Your approach allows no possibility that one can disagree with you, which clearly you cannot accept, and this is the arrogance that alienates voters. Democratic leaders demonstrably called for an end ICE, defunding the police, and defending looting - and the attempts to walk that back failed. Couple that with the patronizing accusations of racism and ignorance leveled against anyone not a progressive, and it is easy to understand why a vote for Trump was simply a response to the ongoing onslaught of progressive contempt, which BTW, is nicely illustrated in the comments.
