None of this behavior is new; the American people have been fully aware of this and a voting majority decided that he was the most qualified person for the job.

There's your mistake: the technocratic assumption that elections are job interviews selecting for the "most qualified" candidate.

That's one part, but not the only part. This thought experiment should make it clear: You're voting in an important election. One candidate is an incompetent and unqualified clown, the other is a highly competent and qualified Nazi. You hate Nazis. Who do you vote for?

If you're arguing that voters choose a person who is less qualified, can you explain how Harris is a Nazi?

Why? Harris isn't a Nazi. The hypothetical was exaggerated to emphasize a specific point. Don't take it too literally or try to map it directly to current events.

That was obviously sarcasm and ironically you took it literally.
Dismal Trump did not get a majority of voters. He received 49.8% of the vote.
