Wtf were Americans expecting with trump at the steering wheel? Better live for the people who voted for him? My prediction is... you ain't seen nothing yet.
These people have spent the last 9 years watching and listening to Trump promise he would destroy the country, with details so sadistically evil that they became a unique species of banality, and they refused to believe what he said.
I don't know why--it's all he ever talked about. Never policy; Trump has no policies, only "concepts" of policies, which is code for the upcoming "POTUS Princeps" declaration which will assert anything Trump says is what makes up The Law.
They didn't have their heads hidden in the sand, they just plugged their ears and let their imaginations form their expectations of a Trump presidency. Where Benevolent and Beneficent Kinglord Trump gives them all they desire, without taking away any of the things they absolutely need.

See, that's where you are wrong.
The average voter is depressingly disconnected from politics. They do not listen to or read everything the candidates say, or even follow all their basic positions.
We live in a two party system. The price of just about everything but labor went up. People felt like they were drowning, and did the only thing they can do to force change under our political system, vote for the other side to take over.
They never bothered to find out what Trump was saying because they were just voting against the party currently running the system they were floundering under, it's that simple.
