My best friends grandma (she’s 88) and has never voted for a democrat in her life, voted for Biden because she hates Trump.

I think you’re underestimating how many people truly showed up to this election just because they hate Trump.

Similar to last election. I knew a lot of people who voted for Trump because they didn’t like Hillary.

I'm sure this is quite typical. It also explains the dearth of vocal Biden supporters previous to the election.  

My youngest daughter voted for Biden because social media told her to. Hate to say it, but that's the truth.

There are two "herds" of media that each get followers misinformed by their news sources.  "Fake news" applies to both sides of the argument.  I know people that have also voted for Trump because of social media.  There are very few places to get fair and balanced reporting these days.  I try to watch a bit of both and decide whose points seem most rational on a given topic.
