In 2024, Trump benefited from higher turnout among those who voted for him in 2020. He also held an edge over Harris among voters who did not vote four years earlier – a group that was considerably more diverse than those who voted in both elections.

As a result, if all Americans eligible to vote in 2024 had cast ballots, the overall margin in the popular vote likely would not have been much different.

So begins the suppositioned-reworking of history by the revisionists who desire grace from the new monster legion commanding the former U S of A.

Pew's pretty well-respected.

Yes, but so is "Fox News". Knowing when a well respected business makes the change into entertainment-ratings-mill can be the difference between maintaining a good trajectory and joining a cult. Beware the AI slop and question everything/body. 😓

Coincidentally, America's average IQ declined by 20% since his first term and we are no longer capable of participating in a democracy in a responsible fashion.

Conveniently sounds like a bunch of made up votes. But the "other side" doesn't stoop to such petty things like prosection for glaringly obvious election rigging.

It's not

Trump made gains among men – especially men under 50. Men favored Trump by 12 points (55%-43%) after being closely divided in 2020. In particular, men under 50 split their votes fairly evenly this year (49% Trump, 48% Harris). In 2020, this group backed Biden by 10 points (53% Biden, 43% Trump).

This makes a lot of sense. Democrats don't cater to men. I haven't heard a single Democrat proposal to address any issues for men.

When you say you want to help poor people it will help men, but young men hear this and it doesn't hit directly. When right wing influencers say that Trump will end teaching gender ideology, young men see this as a win for them, even if they are minorities

Incels always use that lame excuse: "We only became these psychopathic misogynists because we have no positive rolemodels". When you say they don't cater to men, you mean they don't cater to the conservative privileges of men like right wingers do.

Democrats don't even try, so Republicans win by default

I'm a white man. I'm fine. I was fine under Biden. I'd be fine under Harris. I don't need a fucking thing from anyone. You know who does?

My wife. My 4 daughters. My gay son. My trans best friend. My granddaughter. My non-citizen coworkers.

Help them, for fuck's sake. And in so doing, I will get all the help I need.

That's great for you, but clearly it's a losing electoral strategy.

The election was rigged. Look at the down ballot votes in the swing states compared to the rest of the states. Then compare that to every past election.
