Less people voted Trump in 2024 than in 2020. It is not that Trump won, it is that Biden/Harris lost hard.

Trump: 74 Mio. in 2020, 73 Mio. in 2024

Biden/Harris: 81 Mio. in 2020, 69 Mio. in 2024

No. It is that Trump won with the support of over 70 million Americans. People are responsible for their choices. jfc

Everyone saying Trumps totals didn't change, yes, but their composition absolutely did change. But even that is besides the point. Even if they staged exactly the same, that's still really fucking problematic and its absurd to give these people cover for being shitasses.

Trump didnt gain or loose many voters.

Biden/Harris lost a lot of voters.

So really the change between 2020 and 2024 is not a popularity increase for Trump, but a huge popularity loss for Biden/Harris.

Now the question is, how did Biden/Harris manage to be so unpopular, that 12 million people decided to rather risk Trump winning, than vote for them again?

Answer : Russian propaganda about Harris supporting a genocide, while blatantly dodging the question of trumps desire for Israel to "finish the job".

People are gonna get exactly what they voted for (or really, failed to vote against) in the next 4 years.

Russian propaganda about Harris supporting a genocide,

So its not true then, its just propoganda?

Propaganda does not mean lies.
