> I expected a repeat of his first term Even when the candidate speaks of people not having to vote again in the future, if they just vote for him this last time? I mean, I'm not even in the US and probably missed a lot of stuff that happened during the election. But no one around here is surprised about what's happening now, surely most of the US population was that aware too?

Define most. Less than 50% of voters voted for him. Less than 100% of the population voted.

  I kind of feel like if you didn't vote for Kamala, you kind of signaled you're OK with Trump, since that's how the American two-party system forces people to act. So all those that didn't vote, obviously didn't hate what Trump proposed enough to vote against him.

People are oblivious in this country. Totally clueless. A big part of that is the 'information ecosystem' where even the supposedly left-leaning outlets sanewashed everything that's happened and both-sidesed it, even if their reporting was factual. Then you move towards the outright propaganda like Fox and worse. And then there's social media...

  For an example, look at the Fox News home page today https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:42jq5uvg6p2shi5gqifor22e/post/3llzchj47622d https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:42jq5uvg6p2shi5gqifor22e/po... Barely mentions the stock market crash.
