Trump had a historically bad year in 2020, a pandemic, economic collapse, riots, police brutality...Biden sucked, still can't believe Trump and Biden were the best the country could muster...plus it was easier to vote and people were more motivated. Biden then dropped out in 2024, that pissed off ALOT of democrats, just as it would Republicans if Trump was "forced" to quit, Kamala was promoted without democratic process, she was disliked royally by men, and especially men of color, and Trump, whose big weakness was his humanity was literally shot in the head and survived, and handled that situation with a rare amount of class. Kamala had no chance against Teflon Don. Your argument could made about Trump in 2016, Republicans had been blown out for the previous 8 years and suddenly found a ton of new people to vote. Well, Hilary has the effect on people.
