People that vote for trump after this were going to vote for him anyways

Some might have stayed home.

I don't think this is going to energize anyone four months from now. Attention spans are too short.

Those that were going to stay home because he's a rapist with 34 felonies will still stay home. This means nothing unless it comes out that it was a planned stunt, then he loses whatever credibility he had. Wait, never mind, he has zero credibility so his cult won't give two shits and will continue to do and think whatever fox "news" tells them to do.

like vote by mail? Because the snowflakes that I know do exactly that after being so against it.

so it’s just an attendance issue that he won one and lost one, or fraud?

Trump lost the popular vote to Clinton by 2.9 million votes. He lost to Biden by 8.8 million votes. The last Republican president to win the popular vote was George W. Bush.

It's a Republican's best friend, the Electoral college. More people want progressive candidates, not regressive backwards criminals.

He was elected by the minority of the population, and with the help of a Senate that represents a minority of the population, appointed a third of the Supreme Court.

Minority rule is here.

With a more representative electoral system (like Ranked Choice voting) Republicans would be free to place a more moderate candidate as their first vote, assured in the knowledge that their vote would still count against the people they don't want in office.

More people voted for him in 2020 than in 2016

But far more voted for Biden than Clinton. Turnout was very high.
