How do we explain the missing voters? Is it really that possible the voters for Biden (~82M vs 74M T) turned away in such numbers (77M T, 75M H) to give T the win? There's a 3M count discrepancy. You really think the turnout in 2020 was MORE and there was less enthusiasm to get rid of T this time?

People were highly motivated to vote in 2020 due to highly personal reasons: COVID was destroying their lives, and they wanted it to stop. So they turned out (some in person, some by mail). In 2024, the world was much safer, healthier, and economically secure -- unless you lived in a conservative media bubble that tells you it's the worst economy and crime rate ever.
In that reality, the people who are living in the fear-inducing bubble turn out. And the people who aren't particularly informed about the severity of Trump's malfeasance, and are reasonably safe/healthy/secure, stay home.
All of it points to one thing: Certain people only turn out when their scared about their PERSONAL security, not their COUNTRY's safety/security
I explain the missing voters as unserious people and bad citizens who didn't fucking show up, Notmy. 2020 was about COVID. If COVID hadn't happened, Trump probably would have won reelection.

No, it was a vote against Dems, even among Dems in blue cities! That is not the same thing as pro-Trump.

I think if he hadn't bungled the RESPONSE to COVID, he would have won.
