democrat voters are fickle as fuck. in 2020 trump was a scapegoat for how poorly he handled covid. people voted in record numbers to give him the boot. for the 2024 election trump had illegal immigrants and trans people as his scapegoats. he hammered the message hard. constantly. consistently. he pinned the slow recovery on biden and kamala caught flak. kamala, with no similar scapegoat, couldn't unite her voters in the same way trump did. despite having fewer votes than last time, trump kept his base whipped up and they showed up to the polls. kamala's supporters had too many niche issues and weren't united in the same way. they just didn't show up to the polls.
