Well it's a good thing your worries were unfounded then because Trump got 72 million votes in 2020, and as of right now he's got those same 72 million votes in 2024. 10 million or so democrats sat out this election compared to 2020 and that's why Harris lost.

He should have lost a few million considering the sheer number of his supporters that earned Herman Cain awards.

Maybe we're a bit more racist and sexist than people are willing to admit?

Or maybe it's not a simple answer? Have you considered actually thinking about what happened instead of looking for a zinger headline?

Either that or states aren’t doing mail in voting since we’re not in the middle of a pandemic, so democrats had to work and didn’t get a chance to vote.
