Not to the people that voted though. They thought Trump was the better candidate.

And they were incorrect, unless they specifically supported him because of stuff like Project 2025, being massively corrupt, promising to give Elon power, bringing more devistation to Gaza, etc.

Also the democrats lost about 6 million votes, and Trump gained about 3 million vs 2020. That's 3 million prior voters who just decided voting wasn't worth it in just 4 years. How Trump gained those 3 million votes is beyond me, unless they never directly watched Trump speak in the entire campaign and only watched editorialized content, which is entirely possible, if not likely.

The media this past election cycle has proven to have an extreme conservative bias. The amount of sanewashing that occured with everything Trump said vs the extreme amount of scrutiny for everything Biden and Kamala said was disgusting to see. This includes all corporate media, including corporate-backed online media.

Just FYI your theory on voter numbers is way off. Every election is unique. Some elections more people may vote or not. You can't compare voter numbers from just 2020 to determine how many more people are now Trump supporters or Democrat supporters.
