Trump won. Let me say that again, and a bit louder for the people in the back ... TRUMP WON.
Hell to the yeah.
And he didn't just win in a squeaker, it wasn't 'a flip of a coin,' he freaking destroyed Kamala Harris in all the battleground states. Sadly, he did not beat her here in Virginia and I'm still a little pissed off about that BUT onward, we'll beat them in 2028 when Vance or DeSantis runs. It's true. Sure, she took Virginia but there is definitely a shift here, she lost a ton of points in Loudoun County which is up in Northern Virginia: note, NoVA really is just DC but that's another story.
The one thing I can't help but notice about Trump's win besides the fact that he nuked EVERYONE is that somehow, someway, tens of millions of Biden voters magically disappeared. I suppose some of them could have been disenchanted with the fact their party kicked their candidate off the ticket but at the same time, it just doesn't make sense mathematically. I KNOW, we're not allowed to say such things (notice I'm behind a paywall with this one) but something was really and truly off in 2020.
Take a look at this:

20% of the democratic base just vanished in the last four years since Biden’s “victory.”

Now, to be fair, Biden received something like 14 million votes in the Democratic primary this time around - but even if every single one of them withheld their votes, that still leaves millions of missing votes that I have to wonder if they ever existed in the first place. I think looking at this, and the line of averages when it comes to Democratic wins it's safe to say the definitely FORTIFIED the election in 2020.
Which of course only makes Trump's 2024 win all the better.
