Jesus Christ. Trump lost. It's not because ballots were buried in the woods or the ghost of Hugo Chavez hacked Dominion. He lost because people have become exhausted from his nonstop shenanigans and god awful ability to govern.

You are omitting the fact that the people exhausted by him weren't an active civilian population, but rather key activists in voting apparatus

His style is to insult marginalized people. He insulted enough people that he lost the vote. He hasn't insulted "his base" so they don't see it. Really wide margins, that's how he lost.

yup he got people all mad and they voted against him, not really voting for biden or kamala, just voting against trump. Trump also did things like putting a woman with black kids in as supreme court justice, gave a war medal to a black guy, did shit with bump stocks, half measures that were not going to get him democrat votes and just pissed off his supporters. So why do them. Losing on purpose? Just stupid? Ordered to by Israel? Who knows.

That's cognitive dissonance, and leaves out people who aren't fans of Trump but think the Dems are absolutely insane/unacceptable

yeah I just feel like that group was not going to be big enough to get a repub voted. Those kinds of folks have high IQs so if it is a lesser of evils thing they just don't vote because they know it leads to us going down the drain, not voting is a protest against that. In 2016 many millions were excited by trump.
