"Even the charge that Trump “lost support” among his voters is a fallacy. He received nearly 12 million more votes in 2020 (74,223,000) than he received in 2016 (62,980,000) but couldn’t overcome the last-minute machinations of Democrat Party operatives, particularly in the “battleground” states. "
Could it be that more people showed up to vote in the 2020 election?
No fan of Biden here, but Trump had already planted the seed in the heads of his die-hard supporters that if he lost, it could only be by fraud. This is the same crowd who is convinced Obama (I also didn't for for him, so again, no biases) lied about his birthplace. Even at 12 years old I had read the part about how if one parent is an American, if a person is born on foreign soil, they are eligible to run for president. (Nobody doubts Obama's mother was as American as apple pie)
Histrionics are not confined to either of the two major political parties.
By November 9, 2020 Biden was already making pronouncements from his decorated "Office of the President Elect." Both Obama and Trump also used the title President Elect before the official Electoral College certification, but Biden may have set the speed record for this unofficial denomination using highly visible pre-printed swag only six days after the unofficial vote count in early November 2020.
