How can something half the US voters did be controversial?

The norms you mention are obviously not where you think they are. I think you may be out of touch.

Half the US? Citation needed.

Last I checked it was only slightly more than half the eligible voting population that actually voted in the presidential election.

Popularity is quite orthogonal to controversy regardless. Our current president is controversial, and it can be argued that controversy is the very thing responsible for the votes he received.
