Trump gained overall votes because the overall national turnout was substantially higher in 2020. Trump improved with minority voters but did lose some ground with college educated white men.
In 2020, Trump faced a perfect storm of major disadvantages: BLM riots, COVID pandemic, the economy harmed severely by lockdowns, TDS at max levels and third party voters from 2016 voting Dem in 2020.
It is a cope to say Trump had 10 point leads in every single swing state before the 3am drops.
If you said he had 1-3 pt leads in swing states that would be much more plausible considering the horrendous national environment that he faced.
2020 was the worst national environment in a presidential election for any Republican candidate since 2008.
Every macro factor was against us.
Trump was the incumbent and he didn't even get the usual incumbent advantage due to bad external factors and TDS.
Lockdowns substantially harmed the economy, political unrest due to BLM riots and judges changed election rules to allow mass mail in ballots instead of the state legislatures making election laws.
2020 was a nightmare year for us all.
Everything that could go wrong went wrong for Republicans.
No fucking way that the Dems can ever replicate 2020 again this year.
Don't be blackpilled. What they did in 2020 was a black swan event since Republicans in many states have improved election integrity and the macro environment is against Dems.
overall national turnout was substantially higher in 2020
There is absolutely no way to know this. There were more ballots, yes. But we have no idea how many people actually voted because so many of them were mailed in with zero attempts to validate them. Some places completely turned off even rudimentary signature verification.
Your claim is bullshit because it's an assumption that can never be verified. Even if it happens to be true, the claim itself is bullshit.
It is very unlikely that Trump ever had anything close to a 5-10 point lead in any of the swing states(WI, AZ, GA, MI, PA).
Trump won AZ in 2016 by about 3 points. Trump won GA in 2016 by about 5 points.
He won PA, WI, MI by less than 1 point in 2016.
Based on this info, I still standby my original estimate of a total swing of 1-3 points respectively in AZ, WI, PA, MI.
Looking at 2016 GA data, I would say that the swing for that single state was 5.
Pretty much we need to make sure to especially maximize Republican turnout in GA and get a lot of extra eyes on the Atlanta machine.
