The guy didn't take his position with violence. What's going in America to make the majority of people support this guy?
Liberty requires justice, justice requires truth. You can undermine the justice system like Trump and Putin have by attacking truth directly. Foreign and domestic propaganda fills most people's heads following the Russian method to overload with frequent bullshit to obfuscate truth. It's especially harmful to those most prone to influence with bullshit backed by paid actors to attack truth.

'"The company never disclosed to the influencers or to their millions of followers its ties to RT and the Russian government," Attorney General Merrick Garland said on Wednesday.'

The last person to win won because of the name calling repetition, not in spite of it.
This right here is the correct answer. The average American is a little bit stupid but generally speaking, the reason why we are is because our education system sucks shit and we are bombarded with conflicting misinformation from literally all angles, constantly. Foreign actors lie to us just as frequently as our own government and corporations do. Truth has become a precious and rare commodity and is frequently discarded out of hand when it is found because the education system hasn't taught most of us how to challenge our own assumptions.
Most people aren't stupid, they're misguided. As in, led astray, purposefully.
The majority don't. Like a third of the country voted for him. Which is still bonkers, but it's not a majority
That's assuming 100% of non-voters don't support him which definitely is not true.
It's more true than not. Also, even just in counted votes he got less than 50%
Stupidity
Well he did try that first.
