I can’t tell which side you’re trying to argue there, because the results of a different election entirely aren’t particularly relevant to either…
I'm sorry that you don't see how the most massive decline in participants of one party, ever, from one US election to the next has anything to do with the concept of protest voters throwing the election to Trump.
I don't, because nothing in that statistic proves or even demonstrates anything whatsoever about the roles of protest votes versus any and every other factor affecting an election.
If you're going to claim that leftist protest voters only existed in 2016 and 2024, but all capitulated to the Dems in 2020, then go ahead, but the statistic you're quoting doesn't prove that in any way.
I think what changed between 2020 and 2024 is the average person is such a moron that they forgot how bad a Trump admin would be. The world doesn't blame Trump for whats happening in America, they blame Americans for choosing this.
