But instead of doing their civic duty, they stayed home

Do you have anything to back this up, or is this typical Democrat blaming people they never tried to appeal to?

Abysmal voter turnout

2020 is not the fucking baseline, this was above average, great even. 2020 was the highest turnout since Reconstruction you can't rely on that to stick

Honestly it should be. If people could find ways to vote during a pandemic, they should be able to do it without one. That we've regressed is a serious issue

Am I right in my understanding that the 'super high' turnout of 2020 was still less than 50% of eligible voters? That really looks like maybe a minimum turnout threshold should exist :(

You mean the abysmal (checks notes) second highest turn out since 1932? The turnout whose numbers are still as of right now being counted? That turnout?
