Trump followers alone is nowhere near enough to win an election in the USA. It was somewhat easy to win this election. you had post-Covid economy coupled with half-senile 80+ year old grandpa who was replaced by a candidate not a soul voted for.
however, when you are up for re-election (and midterms as 1/2-way gauge of how the country thinks you are doing) the buck stops with you. there is no “booo, it is not my fault” etc - american voter is not dumb in this regard.
- responsible for deaths of 100’s of thousands of people - you, the President
- locked everyone up for months in their homes for months, you, the President
- locked kids out of school for months - you, the President
- high un-employment - you, the President
- increased deficit more than anyone could even possible fathom - you, the President
- …
the buck stops with you. core MAGAs might still fall for “anti-wokeness” but that will get you a loss by many millions of votes to an already half-senile grandpa (see 2020) :)
