Biden followed Trump so it was fresh in everyone's minds how awful he was

I'm toying with the idea that we're all wrong, and it was actually widespread fraud that "won" the election for Trump.

Because of targeted social networks circles. The candidate to prop got a radicalized base, the candidate to lose got messaging that either indicated people should disengage ("Genocide Kamala!") or were given the same sort of messaging in 2016 that made Hillary such a surefire win you didn't even have to go to vote, because what's one more vote (appeal to laziness). Cambridge Analytica's successors were also armed with LLM AI as well as Big Data personal data identification this time around.

They clearly prepped up in case the votes didn't go their way, but the post- truth politics paired with people who consider their social network fueled emotions more credible than the facts and merits of lifetime experts was more effective than they could have ever predicted, and this will mark the tendency for all future elections in our "democracies" were education clearly has had no long term impact.

Seriously what did you expect after 4 years of genocide joe?

More importantly I can't believe libs are still vote shaming (about "commies" lmao) a week after their garbage candidate got blown out.

Never going to learn.
